Scoobert Doo & The Scooby Dooby Doo Universe

Scooby-Doo is one of the most iconic cartoon characters ever released. With more than 10 television show spin offs of "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!", the franchise has lasted from 1969 to Today. With this longevity, Scooby-Doo has had a lasting effect on every generation the show has encountered. Even in this age of technology, Scooby-Doo and the gang has kept with the pace by creating their own interactive webpage. The Doo is not only an American icon, but a universal one.

My favorite series of Scooby-Doo were the original, "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!", the late 80s and early 90s version, "A Pup Named Scooby Doo", and the latest member of the family, "Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated". The original 1969 show created the culture, attitude, and chemistry of the characters. The theme song is what I believed helped to form the hype of Scooby, along with the funny action noises, classic illustrations, and of course Scooby Snacks. The 1988 version of the show is what I believe helped to tie in all generations, young and old, because of the extreme youthfulness not seen previously. In this series, Scooby and the gang are in elementary school where they encounter "monsters" in there community, and create humor upon their many childish ideas. The latter of my favorites is a very contemporary and artistic representation of Scooby-Doo and Mystery Incorporated, created in 2010. I like this series (while some feel in opposition) because it goes into detail about how the Mystery Inc. originally began, why there are so many "monsters" and "ghosts", while intimately showings the romantic relationships between Fred and Daphne, and Shaggy and Velma.

Scoobert and the gang have racked up a number of awards throughout their illustrious career. The Scooby-Doo franchise has received two Emmy nominations, with one of them being the 1989 Daytime Emmy nomination for "A Pup Named Scooby Doo - again, one of my favorites. "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" was ranked first on the 2005 list of the 100 Greatest Cartoons of All Time by Channel 4 of the United Kingdom. also held the Guinness World Record for the most episodes of an animated series ever produced from 2004-2005. Once again, the Doo is more than an American icon, he is a universal one.
