"If it Weren't For You Meddeling Kids!"

"Scooby Doo Where Are You" made its Saturday morning premiere 43 years ago last month. This was when gang of Mystery Inc. driving along in the Mystery Machine started stumbling into mysteries and haunted mansions. The formula was almost always the same Alan, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and their gifted dog Scooby Doo would be driving home late one night and the Mystery Machine would break down and almost always outside of an almost abandoned mansion or hotel. The gang would then go in search of help and stumble upon a monster or ghost wreaking havoc on the last and lonely occupants of said dwelling. Upon listening to the story the good natured hardy gang would volunteer to get to the bottom of mystery. The only dissenters to the offer would be Shaggy and Scooby Doo. The gang would then split up and start their investigation. Alan and Velma would find clues, Daphne would come into danger and Shaggy and Scooby would find a snack of some sort. Upon saving Daphne they would come up with a plan and concoct a trap to capture the villain. This plan and or trap most always failed and a chase of sort form would ensue. Finally the villain would be unmasked and be proved to not be a ghost, monster or unnatural fiend but someone known to the owners of the property and the police would be called in. After that all that was needed was a thank you and some Scooby Snacks.
As the series went on the gang sometimes ran into celebrities like Sonny & Cher, The Addams Family or Phyllis Diller, hijincks always ensued.
