This cartoon... THIS CARTOON!!! This cartoon suffers from TMIS (Too Many Idea Syndrome) and yet doesn't have enough/good enough ideas to save it. Like, each and every one of the three cartoons were established popular Sit-Coms that they then crammed full of talking animals and wacky side-kicks and improbable situations and it STILL wasn't enough to make them interesting so they crammed all three cartoons together and it STILL just kind of... it... it was just *there*.

But hey, maybe you have some fond memories of this show that you'd like to share with us in the comments? You may even be inspired to go and vote for it in our Best of 1982 Poll and I wouldn't look poorly upon your decision to do so :)

What is it the kids these days say? "Haters gonna hate"? Is that "Jiggy" enough? Am I speaking "Dope"?

The title of the cartoon was just "Scooby-Doo And Scrappy-Doo", and it introduced the world to a cultural MILESTONE known as Scrappy-Doo.

Now I don't have much of an opinion in any direction regarding the entire Scooby-Doonivers of cartoons... Scooby-Doo is not as beloved to me as it is to so many others. To me, Scooby-Doo was a bottom feeder. Channel m7 has College Football, channel 5 has Golf, channel 12 has some religious show on... oh, Scooby-Doo is on channel 4. And since I'm certainly not going to waste this sunny Saturday morning on dragging my fat little 7-year-old butt outside like my Mom keeps saying I should do, I guess I'll watch Scooby-Doo.

Scrappy-Doo was a bit annoying, sure... but no more annoying than a cowardly hippie with an eating disorder and a giant dog with a speech impediment (imho).

Please comment with your nominations for most hated supporting character in a 1980's cartoon series, aka a "Scrappy-DON'T" (named for the most hated of all animated supporting characters, Scrappy-Doo).

So far the short list includes Scrappy-Doo, Godzookie, Azrael the Cat, Dollar the Dog, Baby Plas and Gleek The Space-Monkey.

Another hold out from the 1970's that continually got repackaged along with other cartoons. I think this particular old-timer is notable mainly because of GODZOOKI. Godzooki was like Scrappy-Doo 1.0, a prototype which spawned a very specific type of annoying character that everyone hated.

Still though, if you're a fan feel free to leave your comments, stories, remembrances and other whatnot here in the comments to share with others. And if it was a favorite of yours, don't forget to go and vote for it in our Best Cartoon of 1980 Poll!
