How this season is filed
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! locked Saturday morning into a van, a Great Dane, and four meddling kids who always unmask the caretaker. Hanna-Barbera's 1969 mystery cartoon is formula as comfort: chase, snack, trap, rubber mask. The template still clones itself, and cowardice plus Scooby Snacks became a franchise language that never left the air.
