Scooby Doo: Cartoon Network
built 216 days ago
Scooby Doo first aired on CBS and can be traced back to Fred Silverman in 1969 who was the head of Daytime Programming for CBS. Silverman was looking for a show that would lead the network away from the superhero cycle and take them into an area of comedy and adventure. The combination of Carleton E. Morse's 1940's popular radio program I Love a Mystery, in which three detectives roamed the world solving crimes and mysteries, and the 1959-1963 television sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, about a scatterbrained teenager and his friends, was the look Silverman was after.

The first Scooby-Doo-related merchandise came in the form of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! comic books by Gold Key Comics, which initially contained adaptations of episodes of the cartoon show when publication began in December 1969. The book soon moved to all-original stories, and continued publication until December 1974. Charlton published Scooby comics, many drawn by Bill Williams, from February 1975 to October 1975. Since then, Scooby-Doo comics have been published by Marvel Comics (written by Mark Evanier and drawn by Dan Spiegle), Archie Comics (reprints of the Charlton stories), and DC Comics, who continue to publish a monthly Scooby-Doo series.

The story goes like this...Hanna-Barbera presented the original "Scooby Doo, Where Are You?" pitch to Judy Price (head of children's programming) at CBS in the late 60's. The show was developed by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears and Iwao Takamoto and a whole host of other artists at HB. Well, on the success of their track record, a few years later Ruby and Spears jumped the HB ship and opened up their own studio, making cartoons virtually indistinguishable in content and look from the HB competition.
