From those primetime airings to Saturday morning splendor, the simplest of premises of four meddling teenagers and a dog became such a staple spanning generations of fans. Joe Ruby and Ken Spears created an idea that has carried television series, live-action big-budget films, numerous animated movies, and countless parodies. With its monster plots, Scooby-Doo became the ultimate introduction to horror for even the most timid kid.
For that, we salute you Scoobs.
