>A car... that can lick things! That's our next scooby-doo!What were Hanna-Barbera thinking???
>>155676759Unironically I bet they were high
Its what the network wants.
Predates Disney/Pixar's Cars btw
>>155676807wow i couldn't tell
>>155676830Yeah wrap your head around that. I'm smarter than you.
I think Mel Blanc just did a voice and they invented a character based on it.
>>155676850i wish i could suck your cock because the way you talk to me is really demeaning and turning me on
>>155676759Better than the snoozefest called Scoody Doo
>>155676864you don't even know who Jack Benny is, Zach
>>155676759>we got a fred, a daphne, and a shaggy>we don't need a velma, nobody cares about the chubby nerd girl in frumpy clothes
>>155676759Don’t forget, they also had a habit of making them bands, since Josie and the Pussycats were also a band and got popular enough to sell actual albums.
>>155676759A talking car? Now I've seen everything
>>155678177The Josie show was also made to capitalize off of the success of The Archies.Personally, I liked it better than all the Scooby derivatives because all the main characters were involved in the comedy, they weren't protected from physical hijinks just because they were women. The comedy was divided between the entire cast.
never watched this but I cranked it to that chick in the blue jumpsuit one time
>>155679024The original Josie concept seemed more like it was going to be closer to the comics as a slice of life comedy instead of being an action show where they travel the world fighting supervillains with death rays and man-eating plants.
>>155676759I'm just picturing one of those stupid test group things>"Test audiences say that the Mystery Machine should talk, have a stutter, and be a dune buggy. Also they hate Scooby and Velma."
>>155679095Speed Buggy is the Scooby. Any non-human talking entity is the Scooby.
>>155676759it's kind of a shame that only Velma and Daphne have maintained their popularity over the years...HB had QTs.
>>155679115is the Funky Phantom a scooby?
>>155677056scooby doo has never been boring.
>>155676807Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch is more like Cars
>>155677056>Scoody DooNot his name.
>>155676759>What were Hanna-Barbera thinking??? They weren't.
Everybody was high off their tits!
>>155679222Theoretically yes
>>155679044HB characters give that kind urge
>>155676759Home media wasn’t really a thing, and the idea that people would sit down and ‘binge’ a whole show would be considered absurd. As such producers were far more interested in cranking out new shows that would last for maybe one or two seasons because it was easier to sell something ‘new’ to the network rather than trying to come up with new ideas for existing shows. This is also why so many shows from back then had the exact same plots/gags/setups because the assumption was people would watch it once and then move on, no-one was thinking they would study these shows or actually watch every single episode. If a show did do well in the ratings and got revived more often than not after about 4 seasons they’d change the location or add a new character to ‘spice it up’ and revive the audience attention. Basically, television as a whole was a place for soaps, sitcoms, game shows and maybe a mini-series, it didn’t really mature into what we’d have today until the advent of cable.Tl;dr, Hanna-Barbera knew they could recycle the same ideas over and over to make money and no-one would care or notice.
>>155676759I think they just drew up a bunch of shitty Scooby knockoff concepts and the network literally picked all of them, much to their shock.
>>155676807Cool
