Where are you?]]"''~~\|'''Norville "Shaggy" Rogers'''}}~~ \|'''Norville "Shaggy" Rogers'''}} The original Breakfast Club, a popular [[Saturday Morning Cartoon]] from [[Hanna-Barbera]] that premiered in 1969 and lasted in various forms up to the early Eighties (and episodes are again being made today) featuring four teenagers (Fred Jones, Velma Dinkley, Daphne Blake and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers) and their talking dog Scooby-Doo (a classic [[Speech-Impaired Animal]]) in a [[Cool Car\|van called the Mystery Machine]]. Each episode they'd encounter a mystery involving some form of spooky supernatural monster which would more often than not [[Scooby-Doo Hoax\|turn out to be a hoax meant to frighten the locals away from the villain's real operation]], and which would be resolved at the end by unmasking the villain, who would inevitably utter "I would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for [[You Meddling Kids]], and that dog too." Reportedly also [[Getting Crap Past the Radar\|full of drug references]] (hey, it ''was'' [[The Seventies]]), depending on how you read it (what the hell do they put in those Scooby Snacks, anyways?). Since the 1970s there have been many incarnations, including several direct-to-video movies, a series with real ghosts called ''[[The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo]]'' and a series with prepubescent versions of the cast. One such incarnation added Scooby's nephew [[The Scrappy\|Scrappy Doo]] (a classic [[Talking Animal]]) to the cast, which was when the franchise as a whole is considered by some to have [[Jumped the Shark]]. ([[Mark Evanier]], who wrote the pilot episode of ''Scooby & Scrappy-Doo,'' told a crowd at San Diego's Comic-Con of how people thought Scrappy ruined Scooby-Doo, to which he would reply, "It's ''Scooby-Doo.'' How do you ruin ''Scooby-Doo''?") After that point the show frequently operated with just Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy. Daphne often came along for the ride due to [[Popularity Power]] at the time. The show has stayed on the air in all its various incarnations because it is consistently the most popular show of choice by focus groups of 6six-11 ~~year~~to eleven-year-olds. ''Scooby-Doo'' is so thoroughly embedded in American popular culture that the ad-hoc vampire-hunting team that formed around Buffy Summers in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' called themselves "The Scooby Gang". (The ''Scooby-Doo'' kids never refer to themselves as such; their name in the pilot script is "Mystery, Inc." It has also become Cockney Rhyming Slang for "clue" (as in "Haven't a Scooby, mate"). ~~Recently~~In the early 2000s it was made into a trilogy of live-action movies (starring [[Sarah Michelle Gellar]] of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fame as Daphne and her husband [[Freddy Prinze Jr.]] as [[The Danza\|Fred]]). The first two movie were theatrical films, the third (which was a prequel and featured a different cast) went straight to video. These were loaded with [[Continuity Nod]]s, and [[Lampshade Hanging\|lampshaded]] the show's own ~~cliches~~clichés. In 2005, the show briefly beat ''[[The Simpsons (animation)\|The Simpsons]]'' for most episodes produced of an American cartoon. The most recent{{when}} incarnations are ''[[What's New, Scooby-Doo?]]'' (A modernized return to the mystery format) and ''[[Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!]]'' (which is much flatter animation-wise and rather weird, featuring nanotech Scooby snacks and a [[Lampshade Hanging\|message from Fred]] [no relation] in the title). A new series called ''[[Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated]]'' premiered July 12, 2010 (containing possible character development, an overarching plot, and a [[Darker and Edgier]] feel). ---- Line 68 ⟶ 70: * ''[[Scooby-Doo!
