Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

Scooby-Doo is the star of a long running cartoon and movie franchise that started in 1969 with the series Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

In the series Scooby-Doo is a Great Dane who, along with a group of four teenagers, hunts ghosts and the supernatural although these usually turn out to be humans. The teenage gang are Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Fred Jones and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers. They travel around in a psychedelically painted van named the "Mystery Machine."

The term "Scooby Gang" was also used in Buffy the Vampire Slayer to refer to Buffy and her vampire fighting friends.

At the 2017 Upfronts presentation in New York, Jared and Jensen revealed that the main news of season 13 Supernatural would have an animated episode set in the universe of Scooby-Doo. This will be the episode 13.16 Scoobynatural which will air on 29th March 2018. It is based on the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode from season one "A Night of Fright Is No Delight." The majority of the dialogue for the animated episode was recorded in April 2017 by Jared, Jensen and Misha before season 12 had finished filming.

Isaac: You guys seem nice enough, but, this ain't 'Scooby-Doo,' and we don't play well with others
