What do WWE wrestlers John Cena and Triple H, the Harlem Globetrotters, Batman and Robin,  Sonny and Cher, and Simon Cowell all have in common?

They’ve all appeared with Scooby Doo at some point over the past 55 years! 

Yes, you heard that right… everyone’s favorite cowardly-but-lovable, snack-eating, ghost-hunting Great Dane made his first appearance in 1969, and is still going strong. 

But what circumstances led to the development of “Scooby-Doo,” and on what TV characters were the Scooby Gang based? How did Scooby Doo change over the years? And the real question… Scrappy Doo: Love him or hate him? 

Jinkies! We discuss all this and so much more. So jump in the Mystery Machine Van and ride along as we unravel the (not-so-challenging) mystery of why “Scooby Doo” remains a beloved cartoon to this day. 

The show is also available on your favorite podcast app and the Scandal Water Podcast YouTube channel.
