Scooby-Doo is a Great Dane-turned cultural icon that came out of Hanna Barbera’s golden years and entertained generations of children. This cowardly cartoon dog has spanned decades and entertained millions of people through the years, from its groovy beginnings in 1969 to the most recent series, Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?

It’s clear that the Scooby-Doo franchise will be present for a new generation of mystery sleuths. While there are several live-action and animated Scooby-Doo movies of varying popularity, the many television series made Scooby and the gang household names.

Updated on February 24th, 2021 by Melody MacReady: Originally, this list did not contain entries for every show in the Scooby-Doo lexicon. Certain shows were unsuccessful and quickly forgotten which made them blend in with other entries. Some of these shows even seemed like extra seasons of other shows but were indeed different. Though there is no new show based on Scooby-Doo and the gang, the timeline of Hanna Barbera’s iconic mystery/comedy characters still holds a lot of history and evolution to how the franchise is today. From the ups to the downs, Scooby-Doo is still going strong with Scooby-Doo And Guess Who?

13 Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (1969)

The original and perhaps most beloved series was created when Hanna-Barbera was seeking out a more wholesome and less intense television show than their past superhero cartoons. Each campy episode of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! had the same structure, which became comforting and familiar for young viewers. There was also plenty of slapstick humor supplemented by Shaggy and Scooby.

After chasing some around, the gang would always solve the mystery by revealing the true identity of the monster or ghost; usually, a crotchety older person exploiting a local legend to cover up a crime. Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! quickly took off, and after just a couple of years, Hanna-Barbera would need to grow the franchise to satisfy audiences who couldn’t get enough of Scooby-Doo and the gang.

12 The Scooby-Doo Movies (1972)

This wasn’t a series of movies but rather a show of hour-long episodes that came after Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! These episodes had a guest star slot and would feature familiar heroes like Batman and Robin, along with The Harlem Globetrotters and many others.

The Scooby-Doo Movies was another hit and would run until 1974. After that, reruns of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! would air until the franchise moved from CBS to ABC in 1976.

11 The Scooby-Doo Show (1976)

This show went through yearly format changes and was oftentimes paired along with Dynomutt, Dog Wonder to create the Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour. Dynomutt was actually a mechanical dog superhero sidekick to another Hanna-Barbera superhero named Blue Falcon.

Along with various Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour and Scooby’s All-Star Laff-a-Lympics crossover episodes, there were also new regularly formatted Scooby-Doo episodes that featured new characters like Scooby-Doo’s cousin, Scooby-Dum.

10 Scooby’s All-Star Laff-A-Lympics (1977)

The title alone is a perfect example of the fact that Hanna-Barbera was trying as hard as possible to milk Scooby-Doo. Although, Laff-A-Lympics does have a neat concept of a series where over forty characters from across Hanna-Barbera franchises crossover for a parody of the Olympics.

The second season would be renamed Scooby’s All-Stars until its cancelation. However, it would seem that Hanna-Barbera did not accept defeat so they decided to give Scooby a cute little sidekick.

9 Scooby-Doo And Scrapy-Doo (1979)

Scooby-Doo And Scrappy-Doo introduced another well-known character to the franchise; Scooby’s comically tiny, rough, and tough nephew Scrappy. A character that was so despised by the fanbase that he was even bashed by filmmakers in the first live-action movie.

Unlike his uncle, Scrappy is brave, feisty, and eager to help the gang solve mysteries, sometimes charging headfirst into danger crying catchphrases. Despite this, the addition of Scrappy led to him sticking with his uncle for a while.

8 The New Scooby And Scrappy-Doo Show (1983)

In 1983, The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show aired for one season, before its name was changed to The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries. This version of the show saw the return of Daphne Blake in the first season.

Meanwhile, Fred and Velma would have to wait until the second season for their return. This series would also see the end of the dreaded sitcom laugh track that fans were never fond of.

7 The 13 Ghosts Of Scooby-Doo (1985)

This was Hanna-Barbera’s seventh incarnation of the Scooby-Doo franchise, with Scrappy-Doo, a very different Daphne, Shaggy sporting red, and of course Scooby but also introduced some new characters. This included Flim Flam, an ambitious adventurer who could con his way out of any tricky situation.

Vincent Van Ghoul, a magician also joins the small gang of regular characters to help return 13 ghosts to the Chest of Demons. The famous thing about Van Ghoul was that he was voiced by legendary horror icon Vincent Price. This was the first time in the Scooby-Doo franchise that real ghosts were introduced.

6 A Pup Named Scooby-Doo (1988)

A Pup Named Scooby-Doo is another well-known series that takes audiences back to the early days of Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby as young kids and a puppy.

This series was unique in the way it deviated from the traditional style of animation and presented a more soft, cute, and bubbly style of animation. The show itself was also more goofy and zany than the previous series, with fewer scares and more laughs. A Pup Named Scooby-Doo successfully entertained audiences until 1991 when reruns of older shows resumed.

5 What’s New Scooby-Doo? (2002)

After the hiatus that began in 1991, at least when it came to TV shows, Warner Brothers returned to Scooby-Doo with a new series appropriately named What’s New Scooby-Doo? This series went in a completely different direction from its predecessor with a modern and more realistic take on Scooby-Doo and the gang.

Gone were the goofy cartoonish Hanna-Barbera sound effects of the past, including the laugh track. At the same time, however, this series returned to its roots with the gang encountering villains in disguises and costumes rather than real monsters and ghosts.

4 Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue! (2006)

This series came on the air in 2006 and mainly focused on Scooby and Shaggy. In the show, Shaggy has a ridiculously wealthy uncle named Albert Shaggleford who disappears mysteriously: leaving Shaggy a large house and inheritance.

Shaggleford is also an inventor and it’s revealed that he has disappeared to avoid the antagonist, Dr. Phibes. The villain attempts to steal his inventions and take over the world, forcing Scooby and Shaggy to work together to stop him. Shaggy & Scooby Get A Clue is the most visually unique series in terms of animation.

3 Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated (2010)

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated takes audiences back to the gang’s hometown, where they solve mysteries as per usual. But Mystery Incorporated brings plenty of changes to the franchise. This Scooby-Doo show is serialized; rather than each episode being a random story, events from one episode carry on and continue to the next.

Another thing that sets Mystery Incorporated apart from the previous Scooby-Doo series is its more serious tone. The show explores some darker concepts and even some relationship drama between the characters. These elements set Mystery Incorporated apart from the rest and are why it is so fondly remembered by the fans.

2 Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! (2015)

2015 saw the rise of Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!, which follows the gang celebrating their last summer together after graduating high school. They decide to embark on a summer vacation adventure, during which they encounter various monsters and ghosts, solve mysteries, and save the day.

This series is more of a return to the original 1969 show, with a more lighthearted, comedic, and fun tone than Mystery Incorporated. Sadly, it did not receive the same amount of love as Mystery Incorporated did and only lasted two seasons.

1 Scooby-Doo And Guess Who? (2019)

The franchise’s currently airing series, Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? is like a modern reimagining of The New Scooby-Doo Movies. Celebrities and famous characters appear in many episodes, and this series leans heavily into the license’s comedy roots.

Even after more than five decades, Scooby-Doo is still going strong, and Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? serves as a testament to the property’s timeless appeal. Hopefully, Scooby-Doo will continue to reinvent itself and produce new content for another fifty years.
