Classic Hanna Barbara cartoon about four mystery-solving teenage sleuths(confident Fred, beautiful Daphne, intelligent Velma, and frightened but hungry Shaggy) and their easily frightened but often hungry dog Scooby Doo travel the roads of America in their van the Mystery Machine solving mysteries that are always some crook in a mask and/or costume. The original series ran for 25 episodes, then later a further 16(going by what's on the DVDs) and is most enjoyable, certainly brings back childhood memories. Nicely animated and memorable characters, has a distinct atmosphere to it, with a superb theme song. Obviously strains credibility that the gang keeps running into the same type of crooks, and little sense of continuity among episodes, this is still a lot of fun, and things hadn't gotten too silly yet, like they would later when they met celebrities and real ghosts...none of that here!
