Scooby-Doo
Since 1969, Scooby-Doo has been teaching generations that most monsters are just people in masks. Created by Hanna-Barbera, the show follows Scooby and the Mystery Inc. gang — Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, and Fred — as they travel from one creepy locale to another in their groovy van, the Mystery Machine, solving mysteries and unmasking villains. Equal parts spooky and silly, the series perfectly blends ghostly fun with slapstick humor, all anchored by the world’s most lovable Great Dane.
Over the decades, Scooby-Doo has evolved through countless animated series, movies, and reboots — from the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! to What’s New, Scooby-Doo? and the live-action films of the early 2000s. Despite the changes, the core formula has stayed timeless: a spooky setup, some zany hijinks, and a satisfying reveal. Whether you grew up watching Saturday morning reruns or discovered it on streaming, Scooby-Doo remains the ultimate spooky-but-safe comfort show for fans of all ages.

Groovy stuff for meddling kids. Or adults. Whichever.
