I just watched the episode of Supernatural based on a Scooby-Doo episode and it reminded me of how much I loved that show as a kid. The beauty of it is that my daughter and all of her friends loved it too. If you’ve got a kid 5-10 years old I highly recommend buying the DVD set of the original series. Silly as it was it’s still great.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, The New Scooby-Doo Movies, The Scooby-Doo Show were the best. Anything with Scrappy Poo should be destroyed and never viewed again.

Agree with both of you .One of the best parts about raising a child is revisiting the cartoons that you loved as a kid and watching it with them. Scooby Doo is definitely at the top of that list

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

I've got a 4yr old and 2yr old, and they LOVE Scooby Doo. It is wonderful having them enjoy something I watched as a kid.

Ya the 4 yr old and 18 month old will watch it and seem to enjoy it. It was on some random cartoon station so i dvr'd the SD Where are you and The New SD movies. In fact, we watched Mr Hyde, The Creeper and the Frozen Caveman episodes today. Some of the newer movies stick to the old script and are pretty good. The pirate ship one, the wrestlemania one and the wild west one are pretty good. The alien shit sucks though for the most part and i know thats in quite a few of the movies as well.

My kids were all fans of it. I loved watching it with them, brought back such great memories. Yeah, my kids loved the modern Ghost Pirate and Vampire Rock among other modern movies. If they stuck to the script of bad guy being a person in costume they seemed to enjoy it more than ones that had an alien or goblin or whatever that were real.

True story, we were a "no kids ever watching tv" house all the way until our daughter was 2 1/2, then we had to find a way to keep her occupied so Mrs. Panthro and I could sneak off into the bedroom for a nice bang.

We still use the code "Ya wanna put on a Scooby Doo?" to this day.

Well, that show is ruined to me forever.

I always like the original Spider-Man cartoon. Hope not to hear a Panthro bang story associated with it.

My 3 year old is addicted to Scooy-Doo...we have the first 3 seasons on DVD and I subscribe to Boomerang on Amazon Prime Video (3 bucks a month) which has a ton of the movies along with a bunch of the other series...

Unfortunately, my wife showed her "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo" and I want to hang myself whenever she wants to watch that one.

The fun part of this is that it has led to us investing in the DVD set of the Laff a lympics, and she loves it.



Also, if you dig the original series, I highly recommend Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated....it's newer, but a ton of fun...and it has a bunch of callbacks to the original series (The Creeper, Miner 49'er, etc). It's on Comcast On Demand now.

Take the fam camping at a Yogi Bear Campground - your kid will love it.

They have the characters, nite time outdoor movies, etc. Best one around here is probably Caledonia, Wisconsin - right by Milwaukee. They have a nice waterpark with great slides.

Amboy, IL is nice, too. Has 2 nice lakes, one of which you can paddleboat or canoe on.

Millbrook, IL is the closest.

(as a young kid, our family toured many of the midwest Yogi Bear campgrounds)

A few years ago I had to google the whole Mumbly/Muttley, Dread Baron/Dick Dastardly differences, as I was surprised that they had different names even though they looked almost exactly the same.

In the TV series Laff-A-Lympics, there was a similar looking (and sounding) character to Dastardly named "The Dread Baron", voiced by John Stephenson. In fact, the similarity caused the translators in Brazil to mistake him for Dastardly (in issue #12 of the Laff-A-Lympics comic book by Marvel Comics, Dread Baron and Dastardly are twin brothers). The character's name, "Dread Baron", is an obvious pun on the name of the infamous World War I fighter pilot, the Red Baron (he also bears some similarities to the Red Max, another character from the Wacky Races series). In this series, the Dread Baron was seen wearing a World War I-era German fighter pilot's uniform. The Dread Baron accompanied Mumbly, a dog that was very similar to Muttley, only with grey fur, and an orange trenchcoat. Mumbly actually had his own series in which he was a detective, and in a role-reversal, Mumbly acted as the team captain of the Really Rottens in Laugh-a-Lympics with the Dread Baron and others serving as team members. The two later appeared in the made-for-TV movie Yogi Bear and the Magical Flight of the Spruce Goose, where the Dread Baron and Mumbly are first seen in Dick Dastardly's plane from Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines.

It is not certain why Dread Baron and especially Mumbly (who was a good guy in his original series) were used in roles that were identical to Dastardly and Muttley, especially for the Yogi Bear movie. Previously, it was assumed that Dread Baron was created as a substitute because Paul Winchell was not available for Laff-a-Lympics, where John Stephenson provided the Baron's voice. However, Winchell was available for the Yogi Bear TV movie, yet voiced the Dread Baron, not Dastardly. It's also been speculated that there were complications in using the characters due to Hanna-Barbera sharing the rights to Dick Dastardly and Muttley with Heatter-Quigley Productions.
