The series premiered as part of the network's Saturday morning cartoon schedule on September 13, 1969, and aired for two seasons until October 31, 1970. Reruns were broadcast for the 1971 season. In 1978, a selection of episodes from the later animated series Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics and The Scooby-Doo Show were aired on ABC under the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! title name, and was released in a DVD set marketed as its third season.[1] It also aired on BBC One in the United Kingdom from 1970 to 1973.[2] The complete series is also available on Boomerang, Max, and Tubi streaming services.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! is the first incarnation of a long-running media franchise primarily consisting of animated series, films, and related merchandise.

Overview

The show follows the adventures of teenagers Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy Rogers, and their dog Scooby-Doo. They travel in a van known as the Mystery Machine, encountering and solving mysteries. Once solved, the group typically discovers that the perpetrator of the mystery is a disguised person who seeks to exploit a local legend or myth for personal gain.[3]

Production

Script error: No such module "labelled list hatnote". Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! was the result of CBS and Hanna-Barbera's plans to create a non-violent Saturday morning program that would appease the parent watch groups that had protested the superhero-based programs of the mid-1960s.[4] Originally titled The Mysteries Five and later Who's S-S-Scared?, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! underwent several changes from script to screen (the most significant being the downplaying of a musical group angle).[5] However, the basic concept—a group of teenagers and their dog solving supernatural-related mysteries—was always in place.[6]

Scooby-Doo creators Joe Ruby and Ken Spears served as the story supervisors on the series.[7]

They later released all 25 episodes on DVD in Region 1 on March 16, 2004 under the title Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! The Complete First and Second Seasons.[8] A DVD entitled Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

On November 9, 2010, Warner Home Video released Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!: The Complete Series.
