In those days before cable and satellite Saturday mornings were devoted to children’s programming. Cartoons aired non-stop from early morning until late afternoon on every channel. We never missed the antics of Scooby Doo and his gang.

In each episode Scooby and his friends traveled in the Mystery Machine to a small town plagued by a ghost or demon. The team would interview residents and research public records for background information before setting out in search of the culprit. Their investigation typically exposed that a person rather than a supernatural being was actual perpetrator and the episode would end with a public unmasking of the villain.

The amateur sleuths often employed elaborate disguises in their efforts. What makes Scooby Doo the guru of disguise is the ability of this very large dog with a very pronounced speech impediment and a never-ending appetite for doggie snacks to go undercover and make the bust.

However, this duo’s real secret lies in what happens off camera. Sure, Scoob and Shaggy have bottomless appetites and stuff their faces with any tasty, tasty treats they can while “on the job”, but adrenaline and danger are the special sauces that make those snacks taste super. When they are at home instead of cruising along in the Mystery Machine, this plucky pair pays much closer attention to what they eat.

This duo knows the trick to having the foods you love is enjoying them in moderation. Shaggy is not the world’s greatest calorie tracker, and Scooby Doo doesn’t count carbs religiously, but they do what they can to keep themselves fit. They have to! A lot of their lives are spent keeping two steps ahead of the latest mystery ghoul.

Scooby Doo has unforgettable characters who continue to influence in a positive way. Velma is the smart one who is always figuring out the mystery. Fred is the mastermind who is always coming up with ideas for traps, even though they do not always work out the way he thought they would. Daphne is the red head with fashion style and always getting herself in bad situations. Who could ever forget the comical Shaggy, who is always hungry, and his partner Scooby Doo, who is always right there chowing down with him?

Scooby Doo is the perfect show for children to watch because they are always doing what is right and they always catch the bad guy. Not only do the catch the villains, they show children that they do not need to be scared of ghosts, witches, and goblins. They teach kids to face their fears.

Scooby Doo has become popular again since it first appeared as a regular cartoon in 1969. The show features a team of teenage detectives that solve mysteries with their pal Scooby who is a dog. The team often solves these mysteries while traveling through the country in their van.

Here are some Scooby Doo interesting Trivia facts. Matthew Lillard did the voice for Shaggy for the recent cartoon movie called, Scooby Doo Abracadabra Doo. It was the first time he has done the voice since he acted as Shaggy in the two live action films he did of Scooby Doo. The voice of Shaggy was done by Casey Kasem in the original cartoon from 1969. This cartoon movie by DTV is the first time that the Hanna Barerra logo was not featured in the end of the cartoon, mainly because Warner Brothers Animation had made all the DTV Scooby Doo movies.
