I’m a child of the 80s. Fine, I’m a child of the 70s, too. Actually, I guess I’m really just kind of a child. Which is why, when asked by my friends at Zeitghost Media, I jumped at the chance to help Warner Brothers with its latest promotion.
It seems like only yesterday. I remember waking up before the sun, sneaking down the groovy-orange-carpet-covered stairs past my sleeping parents bedroom to pour myself a big bowl of Count Chocula and tune into Saturday morning cartoons. Bugs Bunny, Hong Kong Phooey, Fat Albert & the Cosby Kids and, of course, Scooby Doo. That goofy dog, his ragtag team of hipster detectives and far-out guests including everyone from The Harlem Globetrotters to Sonny & Cher … they always made me laugh. And, let’s be honest, who among us didn’t want to BE Daphne? (Sorry, Velma. Were you even a girl?)
I’ve got good news, fellow Scooby-philes! Now you can watch all new videos from DCKids & Warner Bros. on their Youtube channels. They’ve got everything from Batman Unlimited, DC Super Friends and … yes! … Scooby-Doo. And there’ll be lots of new additions in the next year so be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss anything.
Want to take a chance to win one of five mystery toy gift baskets from DCKids & WBKids? (Mystery baskets? Seriously, could that be more Scooby-inspired?) Each prize is worth at least $50.
It really was a good show that, if I remember correctly, started in 1969. I’ve always loved mysteries – cartoon or not. Scooby-Doo was funny and had just the right amount of suspense for kids. Good to hear it’s still around.
When something sticks around as long as Scooby and the gang, it’s got to be good.
Which sort of explains why you don’t see a lot of Tab on the shelves these days. 🙂
Oh my god! My mom got my sister and I into Scooby-Doo from a young age. We had tapes of marathons of Barney, Blue’s Clue, and Scooby-Doo and it was the BEST for two bored girls sometimes! She has a total of 8 episodes on her DVR as we speak so it doesn’t matter how old you get in our house, Scooby-Doo is still the shit! I’m glad when I see school supplies that there’s still SD stuff out there. 🙂
Timeless. Classic. And perpetually cool. Agreed.
Like wow, Scoob! This makes me even hungrier for a Scooby snack. 😉
Why did I know you were a Scooby fan, Linda? 🙂
This is almost all my kids will watch!! We love Scooby-Doo so much that we have a collection of short stories, almost all of the movies, and a picture of us as the characters, from Universal Studios! Jinkies, Zoinks, and Jeepers!!
Well, now you have another way for them to plug in … to something that’s actually good. 🙂
