Scooby Doo the big and very nice big dog (a Great Dane) who keeps us company on the various local broadcasters such as Italy 1 at 16 e Boomerang at 18,00 every morning on. The first series of the cartoon was made in 1969 by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera (creators of other animated series that have remained in history, such as "The Flintstones","The Yogi bear"," Great-grandchildren "."Huckleberry Hound"and" Luca Tortuga ") and immediately achieved great success. In Italy it was broadcast for the first time in 1970. The story revolves around a detective agency"Mystery and Related", grappling with monsters and ghosts who from time to time turn out to be pseudo ghosts who act as a cover for the criminal on duty. The company is made up of Scooby Doo and by a quartet of four young friends: Freddy, leader of the group, who in view of his calm and rational action, always senses the occurrence of a new case; Shaggy, a typical clumsy with a light-hearted attitude - uncultivated pizza, unkempt hair and a frightening appetite - who happens to always stumble upon some fundamental clue for resolving the case; Daphne instead she is the beauty of the group who is lucky enough to be kidnapped or used as a bait, often sends up Freddy's traps, with which she is paired (even if not officially); finally there is Velma, the glasses not very pretty, but all brains (think that he can translate all the languages ​​of the world, including the ancient ones), thanks to which each case ends in the best way, or with the delivery of the criminal to the police. In the face of the big size Scooby is a big coward and also a first-rate bungler (but for this very reason he will make us laugh!). Yet they will always be the little brave Scooby - Shaggy to go ahead!

Fortunately for them, despite the various troubles and dangers, they will always manage to get by; as in the episode "Hard life for Mr. Hilde"(which evokes the flavor of the classic of Horror"Dr. Jeckill and Mr. Hilde"): traveling on the legendary" Mysteries Machine "minibus, our heroes encounter a jewel-stealing ghost, before ending up in a macabre laboratory, where they meet Dr. Jecky. The latter will tell of a failed experiment and of the fear of having evoked the ghost of Mr. Hilde; in the meantime, being the only culprit, he will try to mislead them, directing the clues towards his housekeeper Helga (who in her youth was a very famous circus acrobat). However, the incongruity of the evidence will not convince Velma who, having solved the trick thanks to two pairs of suckers found by Shaggy, will unmask the cheater, with all due respect. In the episode "Scooby-Doo and the legend of the vampire", during a holiday in Australia, Scooby-Doo and his friends attend a music festival at Vampire Rock. But a legendary Australian creature called Yowie Yahoo kidnaps musicians to turn them into vampires. Disguised as heavy metal bands, Scooby-Doo and the boys will have to solve the mystery. So don't miss the next adventures of Scooby Doo and his friends, fun is guaranteed!
