Scooby-Doo

''Scooby-Doo'' (often written as ''Scooby-Doo!'') is an American media franchise owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment and created in 1969 by writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears through their animated series, ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'', for Hanna-Barbera, which was later absorbed into Warner Bros. Animation in 2001. The series features four teenagers named Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy Rogers, and their talking Great Dane named Scooby-Doo, who solve mysteries involving supposedly supernatural creatures through a series of antics and missteps, while traveling in a brightly colored van called the ''Mystery Machine''. The franchise has numerous shows, films, and specials.

''Scooby-Doo'' was originally broadcast on CBS from 1969 to 1976, when it moved to ABC. ABC aired various versions of ''Scooby-Doo'' until canceling it in 1986, and presented a spin-off featuring the characters as children called ''A Pup Named Scooby-Doo'' from 1988 to 1991. Two ''Scooby-Doo'' reboots aired as part of Kids' WB on The WB and its successor The CW from 2002 to 2008. Further reboots aired on Cartoon Network from 2010 to 2018. Repeats of the various ''Scooby-Doo'' series are frequently broadcast on Cartoon Network's sister channel Boomerang in the United States and other countries. The most recent ''Scooby-Doo'' series, ''Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?'', premiered on June 27, 2019, as an original series on Boomerang's streaming service and later HBO Max.

In 2013, ''TV Guide'' ranked ''Scooby-Doo'' the fifth-greatest TV cartoon of all time. Provided by Wikipedia
