history there are few cartoons with such
a devoted following as scooby-doo since
its debut in 1969 scooby-doo has
withstood the test of time still
attracts fans both old new to this day
but do you know what separates a casual
scooby-doo fan from the devoted diehard
knowledge I'm Johnny kisser akat
Frederator and we're asking do you know
everything there is to know about Scoob
shaggy Velma the rest of the gang well
think again you meddling kids there's so
much more to this beloved cartoon than
meets the eye
so like zoinks guys grab some Scooby
Snacks because Channel Frederator
counting down the 107 facts you should
know about scooby-doo number one
scooby-doo is created by Jo Ruby and Ken
Spears under hanna-barbera animation
studios they also wrote for the cartoon
cult classic Space Ghost
number two hanna-barbera is famous for
numerous cartoon classics including The
Flintstones Yogi Bear the Smurfs and Tom
and Jerry number three
Scooby's full name is scoobert
scooby-doo lubing spears don't even
remember where the name came from but
ultimately they didn't want the name
scoobert affiliated with Scooby and
rightfully so because scoobert sounds
way too proper for scooby-doo right like
a this Givet oh boy old chap that steep
set is a mystery of what make haste to
the Mystery Machine for we've got to
solve this riddle number four Shaggy's
full name is Norville shaggy Rogers
shaggy came first and the formal name of
Norville came later on during
development of the show number five the
three other main characters full names
are fred herman jones daphne blake and
Velma Dinkley number six
Scooby's original name was too much it
was taken from the saying that's just
too much which was a popular catchphrase
at the time number seven Scooby's name
was inspired by Frank Sinatra the name
was taken from an ad-lib scat and Frank
Sinatra's rendition of strangers in the
night the song was overheard by CBS
executive Fred Silverman and he
suggested the producers changed the name
from too much to scooby-doo number eight
like Scooby Fred Daphne Velma and Shaggy
were also called different names while
in development fred was Jeff and later
Ronnie Daphne was Kelly Velma is Linda
and Shaggy was WW number 9 and the
original series Fred and Shaggy are 17
years old Daphne is 16 and Velma is 15
number 10
Scooby Doo is forever 7 years old or 49
in dog years he would be three hundred
and twenty-two years old and dog years
if he aged from 1969 to 2015 number 11
know how Fred got his name you guessed
it Fred Silverman the creator said in an
interview that Silverman coincidentally
suggested it number 12
while in development scooby-doo where
are you was initially titled mystery 5
then mysteries 5 and later who's scared
number 13 in the show's early
development Scooby Doo and company were
originally a rock band that would solve
mysteries in between gigs this angle was
phased out in development because they
didn't want to seem too similar to the
Archie show number 14 fun fact about
that rock band angle though Scooby
played the bongos I would have guessed
it would have been the trombone you know
cuz dogs like bones yeah number 15 when
the show was titled who was scared it
was originally rejected by CBS because I
thought it was too frightening for
children after it was rejected the staff
went back to the drawing board and made
a number of changes they decided Scooby
should be the focal point of the show
and not the four kids
they also toned down the spooky aspects
and heightened the comedic aspects
number 16 Frank Welker voiced Fred he's
also known for voicing a boo in Aladdin
and then shockwave barricade and
Soundwave in the Transformers Animated
Series and a dark of the moon what
should be even voiced doubled for
Leonard Nimoy as mr. Spock in Star Trek
3 the search for Spock number 17 Fred
originally had brown hair the
showrunners decided to change him into a
blonde because I wanted more diversity
amongst the characters number 18 Fred
Daphne Velma and Shaggy are based on
characters from the show The Many Loves
of Dobie Gillis Fred was based on Dobie
Gillis Daphne on Thalia Menninger Velma
and Zelda Gilroy and Shaggy on Maynard G
Krebs number 19 scooby-doo is a Great
Dane
character designer Iwata Komodo went to
a dog breeding specialist to ask advice
of what a prize-winning Great Dane would
look like he then decided to do the
exact opposite for the design of
scooby-doo giving Scooby a double chin
full legged hind legs and spots on his
back which real Great Danes don't even
number 20 scooby was almost a sheepdog
writers thought him being a Great Dane
would be too close to the comic strip
Marmaduke so they switched to a sheepdog
while in development they eventually
changed back to a Great Dane because the
producers felt the sheepdog was too
close to hot dog from the Archie comics
number 21 Don Messick was the original
voice of scooby-doo don't know the name
you know the voice he did bamm-bamm in
the Flintstones Astro in the Jetsons
Benton quest and Jonny Quest and Papa
Smurf in the Smurfs number 22
shaggy was voiced by Casey Kasem Kasem
is a legendary disc jockey and the
original host of American top 40 number
23 Kasem originally wanted to audition
for Fred because he didn't think he
could play a comedic character number 24
strangely enough Welker wanted to
audition for the role of shaggy since
he'd always played the straight-laced
characters and wanted to do something
more comedic number 25 Kasem was a
strict vegetarian and demanded that
shaggy follow suit for the show from
1970 to 1971 he was but in subsequent
spin-offs in not so much wait does this
mean that Scooby Snax are vegetarian
number 26 when it began in 1969 the show
aired on CBS it was moved to ABC in 1976
where it remained until it was canceled
in 1986 number 27 the show came out just
a few weeks before Sesame Street number

beginning of the original show's opening
credits is actually the sound of a tape
echo unit feeding back on itself number
29 the scooby-doo where are you vocal
was not the original theme composed for
the series musical director Ted Nichols
had first composed an instrumental theme
for the show number 30 and that vocal we
all know and love almost didn't even
make it into the first episode David
Mook and Ben Rawley recorded the vocal
just three days before the airing of the
first episode number 31
Nichols Fame alternates with the more
familiar muck and rolly-thing Nichols
incorporated his tune as the main
recurring theme for the incidental music
score and a truncated version of it
underscores all the episode title cards
for the original series and the new
scooby-doo movies
number 32 Scooby Doo is part of a set of
triplets his triplet siblings are Skippy
do and dooby doo and his other siblings

yabba-doo and ruby do number 33 ruby do
is a mother of scrappy doo you start in
the show
dooby-doo and scrappy-doo but more on
that later number 34 despite appearances
shaggy is not a stoner since the
original show fans believe that's why
shaggy always saw the ghosts first you
know like he was having hallucinations
or something he even seemed to have the
munchies pretty often I mean he did eat
his fair share of Scooby Snacks
but Ruby and Spears have shot down the
theory saying that the show would have
been canceled if there was a stoner
character because hello it's a
children's program number 35 another
rumor born from the original series is
that Velma is a lesbian and has a thing
for Daphne however the creators have
shot that one down too
the writer has even hint that Velma and
Shaggy are a couple in the first few
episodes of the original series number
36 Fred and Daphne weren't a couple in
the original series another Theory
amongst fans was that Fred and Daphne
would get it on when the group split up
to look for clues in reality Ruby and
Spears found the characters boring and
that's why they were not on screen as
much as Velma Shaggy and Scooby
number 37 what a night for a night was
the first episode of the series and
established the ongoing joke of Velma
losing her glasses
number 38 Velma's famous line my glasses
I can't see without them was never
