On the morning of September 13, 1969, children all around the United States were watching Saturday morning cartoons on TV. But this morning was special. This morning, the first episode of the cartoon Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! was shown on the CBS network.
The name of the episode was What a Night for a Knight. It featured a group of four teenagersFred, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggyand a big goofy dog, Scooby-Doo. They followed clues to solve a spooky mystery. A knights armor was shipped from England to America for display in a museum. But the professor who sent the armor to the museum had disappearedand the armor of the Black Knight was alive! The kids and their talking dog, Scooby-Doo, needed to avoid the Black Knight while figuring out what happened to the professor.
By the end of the episode, the teens had solved the mysteryand children around the country had fallen in love with the Great Dane named Scooby-Doo. The show quickly became one of the most popular cartoons ever. Children and adults tuned in for the mysteries. They sang the theme song. They liked the silly villains. Mostly, they loved the star of the show, Scooby-Doo.
Was Scooby a superhero? Certainly not! He was a scaredy-cat... well, a scaredy-dog! But he would always help his friends solve the mystery, no matter how spooky, in exchange for a Scooby Snack. This dog, who didnt even realize how brave he was, stumbled into hundreds of mysteries, and into the hearts of viewers around the world. But Scooby is more than just a talking dog. He has conquered television, comics, movies, books, and morein more than 160 countries.
Scooby-Doo is one of the most famous dogs of all time, and this is his story.
The original idea for Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! was much different from what viewers saw on that first Saturday morning in 1969. Cartoons were developed by teams of talented and creative people. As a new show was developed, there were many opinions about how it should look.
Fred Silverman
Fred Silverman came up with the original idea for Scooby-Doo in 1968. Fred was the head of daytime programming for CBS, a major television network. Fred wanted a show with teenagers and music and mystery. But Fred just had the ideahe didnt know how to make the cartoon!
At the time, cartoons were very popular on Saturday morning television. Children around the country tuned in for their favorites: The Jetsons, Spider-Man, Casper the Friendly Ghost, and many others.
An animation company called Hanna-Barbera Productions made some of the most popular cartoons. In fact, they had made the most popular cartoon of all time up until that point: The Flintstones. So, Fred went to the producers William Hanna and Joseph Barbera with his idea, knowing that they might be able to turn it into a smash hit!
Cartoons began to appear in movie theaters in the United States shortly after movies first became popular, in 1906. Unfortunately, cartoons were very difficult to make. The artistscalled animatorshad to draw, by hand, twenty-four frames of a cartoon for every second of film. That means even a three-minute cartoon would require an animator to draw 4,320 pictures!
In 1914, the animation cela background that could remain the samewas created. Now, only characters in front of the background had to be changed. This made it much easier to create the twenty-four frames for each second.
By the early 1930s, storyboardsa group of sketches that told the story of the entire cartoonwere drawn before animators started their work. This allowed a team of people to work to create a longer cartoon. Each animator took on a small piece of the cartoon, and longer, more complex stories could be told with cartoon animation.
Hanna-Barberas team of writers, led by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, thought up a show called Mysteries Five about five teenagers and a shaggy dog named Too Much. During the day, the teenagers were musiciansToo Much played the bongos. They solved spooky mysteries at night. The stories were filled with ghosts and monsters.
Joe Ruby and Ken Spears
Joe and Ken presented their first idea to Fred. But Fred didnt think it was quite right. He liked the mystery and music, but wasnt sure about the characters. He worked with Joe and Ken to change them. Five teenagers became fourFred, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy. The sheepdog became a Great Dane. Fred also changed the title of the show to
