Scooby Doo on the front cover of The Electric Company Magazine from 1979.

Scooby-Doo was a Hanna-Barbera animated series that was originally produced for Saturday morning television. Debuting in 1969 on CBS, the characters have appeared in numerous spin-offs and versions, as well as direct-to-video movies and prime-time specials. Beginning in 1998, Warner Bros. Animation took over production of the animated Scooby-Doo franchise.

The characters were brought to the big screen in a live-action adaptation in 2002, with Jim Henson's Creature Shop and David Barrington-Holt as Creative Supervisor/Character Design. The 2013 direct-to-video movie, Scooby Doo Adventures: The Mystery Map, features puppet versions of the characters operated by Muppet alumni, although it is not affiliated with the Jim Henson Company.
