Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? (also directed at weekends, in general)

It's been a very appreciative, fine week .... finally






17 Episodes
22 mins each
1969 

Four adolescents and their dog embark to various places and unmask the haunting. An animation that has looped backgrounds, also. 


Scooby-Doo incorporates old-fashioned detectiveship with mostly humor. Yes, these mysteries can be worked out on paper (I did and I had some fun, wheee), but damn, do suspects really come that easily? The mystery-solving would bore kids under five and teenagers should roll their eyes as the culprits are kind of obvious. 9-14 year olds back in the day must've watched this; after all, Scooby and his fellow cartoon mates like The Flintstones, The Jetsons, and Tom & Jerry are the main reason to ask Mommy Dearest to let you sit for hours in front of the television.
