Give Scooby Doo A Star Of Fame

Give Scooby Doo A Star Of Fame

The Issue

On September 13th, 1969 legendary cartoon TV Creator Hanna Barbera and Joe Ruby released what will soon become an American icon. The most famous Fictional dog of all time Scooby- Doo, In a TV show known as Scooby Doo Where Are You. From 1969 to Present Day Scooby- Doo has become so popular that he got numerous TV spin-offs such as What's New Scooby Doo, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, The 13 Ghosts Of Scooby- Doo, The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show. Like other Fictional characters like Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Rugrats, The Muppets, Scooby Doo earned himself a special place in the hearts of children and adults of all ages. During its five-decade broadcast history, Scoopy-Doo has received two Emmy nominations: a 1989 Daytime Emmy nomination for A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, and a 2003 Daytime Emmy nomination for What's New, Scooby -Doo's Mindy Cohn in the "Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program" category. Science advocate Carl Sagan favorably compared the predominantly skeptic oriented formula to that of most television dealing with paranormal themes, and considered that an adult analogue to Scooby-Doo would be a great public service. Scooby-Doo has maintained a significant fan base, which has grown steadily since the 1990s due to the show's popularity among both young children and nostalgic adults who grew up with the series. Several television critics have stated that the show's mix of the comedy-adventure and horror genres was the reason for its widespread success. As Fred Silverman and the Hanna-Barbera staff had planned when they first began producing the series, Scooby-Doo's ghosts, monsters and spooky locales tend more towards humor than horror, making them easily accessible to younger children. "Overall, Scooby-Doo is just not a show that is going to overstimulate kids' emotions and tensions," offered American Center for Children and Media executive director David Kleeman in a 2002 interview. "It creates just enough fun to make it fun without getting them worried or giving them nightmares. Scooby-Doo had received recognition for its popularity by placing in a number of top cartoon or top cartoon character polls. The August 3, 2002, issue of TV Guide featured its list of the 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time, in which Scooby-Doo placed twenty-second. Scooby also ranked thirteenth in Animal Planet's list of the 50 Greatest TV Animals. For one year from 2004 to 2005, Scooby-Doo held the Guinness World Record for having the most episodes of any animated television series ever produced, a record previously held by and later returned to The Simpsons. Scooby-Doo was published as holding this record in the 2006 edition of the Guinness Book of Records. In January 2009, entertainment website IGN named Scooby-Doo #24 on its list of the Top 100 Best Animated TV Shows. As a fan of Scooby- Doo myself I believe he deserves more than he has now the time has come to give Scooby-Doo what he should have gotten a long time ago, as a special thank -You to Scooby-Doo for all the good memories, and becoming part of our hearts in both young and old it's time to give Scooby-Doo is own star of fame.
