The gang is an undeniable cultural mainstay, but what was it about the original series that launched a household name? Was it the distinct archetypes, instantly recognizable character designs, and unforgettable catchphrases? Maybe the accessibility of its episodic mysteries? Or, in the immortal words of former-Fred Freddie Prinze Jr., was it just that “it was a talking dog, you know?” In the wake of HBO Max’s much-loathed Velma series, Scooby Doo, Where Are You! illuminates the legacy of the Mystery Gang, especially as a series and group of characters that remain undeniably timeless and infinitely malleable. In the over 50 years since Scooby Doo and the Mystery Gang made their TV debut in 1969’s Scooby Doo, Where Are You!, it feels like there hasn’t been a single year without at least one piece of Scooby Doo content on the airwaves-whether that’s its various TV series, numerous live action iterations, or the countless straight to DVD or TV movies.
