Scooby Doo celebrates it's 50 year this year. This series began with "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" that aried on CBS in 1969 then it exploded in popularity that it later received more series and later movies. Toys and prodcuts were made and sold well, it became big. Hanna-Barbera even tried copying themselves with making shows that kind of copied the formula of Scooby Doo. The characters have had a long lasting effect in our media so here at Joshuaonline, we are going to be taking a look each month at a piece of Scooby-Doo media in commemoration.
Back in 1985 it's December and a couple of children (let's say a boy and girl) are watching the final episode of "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo" and not knowing it was the last episode.
Almost 34 Years later : Warner Brothers Animation releases "Scooby Doo and The Curse of The 13th Ghost" finally a finale.
Personal story time: I grew up watching my Scooby Doo Media on Cartoon Network (and possibly TNT) and remember watching the 13 th Ghost of Scooby Doo , swearing they did catch all 13, even thinking with 13 episodes they did catch them all but nope. (Pokemon Fail) I do love that series though.
The 13th Ghosts of Scooby Doo was the 7th series and to explain it in short talk. Scooby Doo had kind of fallen out of popularity by the 1980's the series had been seen as kind of predictable and over saturated. That did stop them from making Scooby Doo series instead they tried new things like adding Scrappy , removing everyone that wasn't Shaggy (don't do the joke , don't do the joke) and Scooby. They did add Daphne back to the series for the 6th series "The New Scooby and Scrappy Show" in 1983. So this series has All those plus a boy named Flim-Flam (why would you name your child that?). Anyway, this series decided to something different to make Scooby Doo hip! fresh! amazing! new! wow! to the audience. This time the ghosts are real! (I may use this line again)
For you Scrappy haters out there (mean), this is the last series with him in it. The series ran from 1985 for 3 months on CBS worked on by the man who created the 90's animation hits "Animanics, Tiny Toon Adventures, and Pinky and The Brain" , Tom Ruegger. (He also created Histera! which needs to be loved you!) So, 33 years later , Warner Bros , who now was the rights to Scooby announced they were going to release a new movie that will finally wrap up the 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo.
Our fake children are now in their 40's are jumping with joy. Let's begin. After the Jump because we talked too much.
