It's been over 50 years since ScoobyDoo, Where Are You! aired on CBS, and for this week's TV Rewind, annagovert writes on the show's lasting legacy in Scooby Doo's pop culture empire:
, and many more “4 kids and a pet—or sentient car—solving mysteries” cartoons were made by the studio in an attempt to replicate the runaway success ofAfter all those copycat one-season-wonders, what was it aboutthat was so special? For starters, in spite of the clear archetypes present within their characters,never leaves its characters in boxes, stereotypes be damned.
Like in Episode 15 of Season 1, titled “Spooky Space Kook,” the villain is unmasked to be a man trying to run down the value of an abandoned airfield to buy the land up cheap, having created the Space Kook to scare everyone, including the army and a local farmer, away from the property and its surrounding fields.
defies its formulaic episodes and stereotypes, there is something so comfortingly familiar about the series at its most predictable. It’s refreshing to watch as this group of regular teens solves mystery after mystery, beating the police to it in every instance, without a single superpower or otherworldly assist needed.
These elements are what have made the Mystery Gang so omnipresent in pop culture, along with the ways in which they have been changed and adapted to fit the times. More recentstraight-to-DVD movies have included Daphne solving the case with makeup hacks or Velma finally being confirmed as a lesbian, Freddie having trap-related anxiety or Shaggy attempting to confront his cowardice, which simply build on elements that were already present within the original series.
, it’s hard to imagine that its two original seasons of 25 total episodes spawned the equivalent of a pop culture empire, but the everlasting charm of Scooby Doo and his mystery-solving friends in their first outing ensured that there would be plenty more for generation after generation to enjoy.
