These pages are a tribute to Scooby-Doo, one of the most popular cartoon series
in network history which premiered in 1969. It has been a pleasure corresponding with
the individuals who made Scooby and the gang (Shaggy, Velma, Dahpne and Fred) a
reality since this site first launched in the summer of 1996 when there was only
one major Scooby Doo site on the web (TBS/Cartoon Network). It's my hope that
the information captured on these pages will continue to be an inspiration to all
Scooby fans.
Content from this site was authored from library research, cell artists interviews,
CBS, character stars (Kasey Kasem) and from my experiences watching Scooby as a
child. This site's content focuses on the orginal 1969 and 1976 series. See the history
page (originally launched in 1996) for more information regarding how the Hanna-Barbera series originated.
Please contact us if you have additional facts that you feel should be included. A trivia page is in
development. We also request a link back to our site when using the history information.
We have tried to capture as many villains from the original Scooby Doo Mysteries as possible. The images
are courtesy of "Coyote's" website which was available in the mid 1990's. We thank him for
allowing us to use the images to bring back the memories of the gang chased through many humorous
cartoon sets. If we are missing a villain, please contact us.
These pages were first launched statically in 1996 on a Worldnet web server, then quickly moved to Clemson University where they lived for two years as the author worked on a M.S. Computer Science degree. After graduation, the site moved to Earthlink in 1998 with very few changes. In August 2004, the site moved to a dedicated webserver and enjoyed a long overdue facelift using the theme from the opensource OsCommerce project. In January 2007, the site's backend was completely rewritten by the author to be more streamlined and flexible with Amazon's Ecommerce API.
A Tribute to Scooby-Doo is now offering select cartoon DVDs, videos,
computer games, and other products available from
Amazon to help assist the cost of maintaining this site. It's our hope that this site will provide users with a convenient portal to Scooby-Doo products.
