The scaredy-cat great Dane Scooby-Doo and his human buddies have been solving mysteries for over 50 years now. The series Scooby-Doo, Where are You! first aired on September 13, 1969. No one knew that the concept would still be popular into the 21st century. The characters never age, the basic plot is used over and over, and the look has gone from hip to passé to nostalgic in that time. But people still love Scooby and friends.
Scooby-Doo has appeared in a whopping 16 television series, two live-action films, 35 direct-to-DVD movies, 20 video games, 13 comic book series and five stage shows. Now, with “Scoob!,” the Mystery Incorporated gang will appear in a CGI feature-length film, which, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is going to be released to video-on-demand on May 15.
What many people don’t know now is how much of a game-changer the show was in 1969. To understand that, you have to go back in time to see the series in its context among other kids’ shows to see what was different about Scooby-Doo. That’s where senator and presidential candidate Robert Kennedy came in, which you can read about at Smithsonian.
