Talk:Scooby-Doo

Should who does the voices be mentioned?

yes, if you know them -- Tarquin

Casey Kasem was the original voice of Shaggy. Someone else does both Shaggy and Scooby now, though. Kasem also did various incidental voices, such as supporting characters for single episodes. --Frecklefoot

The voices in the article are the ones I got from the IMDB for "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?"; since that's the focus of the article, I didn't bother with later Scooby incarnations. If we want those, this article should probably be changed to deal with Scooby-Doo in general, or maybe split into separate articles for the character and the show. -- Shammack 15:56 Apr 16, 2003 (UTC)

Moved this comment from the article, since it belongs here anyway:

somebody care to name others?

Referring to some other cartoon series of Hannah-Barabara of mystery-solving sleuths. --Frecklefoot 13:47 23 May 2003 (UTC)

Also, what about Scooby Doo and the 13 Ghosts? There was some boy who was with Shaggy, Daphne, and Scooby, but I dunno his name.

I deleted the following:

Though the cartoon was rooted in the present, the name had its origins rooted in the past. "Scooby-Doo" was culled from a nonsense line on Frank Sinatra's 1964 recording of Bert Kaempfert's Strangers In The Night. That line, "scooby-dooby-doo," would also go on to become one of the program's indelible catch phrases.

Um, that's DOOBY dooby doo. RickK | Talk 06:48, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

There's a lot of sites on the internet that mention this Frank Sinatra / Scooby Doo connection [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] .... the question is, is this what really happened or is it a myth/rumor? Unfortunately Snopes doesn't have anything about it. Does anyone have a primary source either confirming or denying it? PenguiN42 00:40, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

#1 claim

Removed:

Scooby-Doo (in both old and new series) is the #1 animated TV show on Cartoon Network, and is the second most popular cartoon with kids on television to Spongebob Squarepants, its major competitor.

It is an opinion. May be presented only with indication who stated this. Mikkalai 05:34, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedians:

How come it seems that a previous edit with the Frank Sinatra connection with Scooby Doo appears on the page and doesn't appear in the editing section? Please explain to me why this sometimes is. Thank you.

I don't know, perhaps someone removed it. You can look back through the 'page history'. If you think it was removed in error, feel free to put it back. Mark Richards 21:59, 13 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

My favourite ever comment about Scooby-Doo was: "The thing that worries me about the show is why, during a period of unprecedented economic growth, were so many American theme parks left abandoned?" --bodnotbod 21:44, Jul 17, 2004 (UTC)
