Animation, Scooby-Doo

1969 September 13 AD. The first episode of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! “What a Night for a Knight” debuted on the CBS network.

1970 AD. The show was renewed for a second season.

1972 AD. New one-hour episodes under the title The New Scooby-Doo Movies were created; each episode featuring a real or fictitious guest star helping the gang solve mysteries, including characters from other Hanna-Barbera series such as Harlem Globetrotters, Josie and the Pussycats and Speed Buggy, the comic book characters Batman and Robin (later adapted into their own Hanna-Barbera series, Super Friends, a year later), and celebrities such as Sandy Duncan, The Addams Family, Cass Elliot, Phyllis Diller, Don Knotts and The Three Stooges.

1973 – 1976 AD. Reruns of the original series.

1976 – 1977 AD. 16 new episodes of Scooby-Doo were joined with a new Hanna-Barbera show, Dynomutt, Dog Wonder, to create The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour.

1977 – 1978 AD. The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Show became the two-hour programming block Scooby’s All-Star Laff-A-Lympics with the addition of Laff-a-Lympics and Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels.

1978 AD. Five filmstrips were released: The Great Grammar Hunt, Scooby-Doo Locates the Locus, Black Explorers, The Signs of the Times, Let’s Go to Press.

1979 AD. Scooby’s tiny nephew Scrappy-Doo was added to both the series and the billing, in an attempt to boost Scooby-Doo‘s slipping ratings.

1979 December 13 AD. The Scooby-Doo characters first appeared outside of their regular Saturday-morning format in Scooby Goes Hollywood, an hour-long ABC television special aired in prime time.

1980 AD. As a result of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo‘s success, the entire show was overhauled to focus more upon Scrappy-Doo. At this time, Scooby-Doo started to walk and run anthropomorphically on two feet more often, rather than on four like a normal dog as he did previously. Fred, Daphne, and Velma were dropped from the series, and the new Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo format now consisted of three seven-minute comedic adventures starring Scooby, Scrappy, and Shaggy instead of one half-hour mystery.

1980 – 1982 AD. The new version of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo first aired from 1980 to 1982 as part of The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show, an hour-long program also featuring episodes of Hanna-Barbera’s new Richie Rich cartoon, adapted from the Harvey Comics character.
