Shaggy Rogers | Scooby-Doo Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Matthew Lillard (2005, 2007, 2010 to Present) Age 16 Norville Chastain "Shaggy" Rogers is a fictional character and the main human protagonist of the American animated television series Scooby-Doo , about the adventures of four crime-solving teenagers and Shaggy's pet great dane, Scooby-Doo . Shaggy is a cowardly slacker more interested in eating than solving mysteries. He is the only Scooby-Doocharacter (besides Scooby) to appear in all iterations of the franchise. Shaggy's distinct personality is evident in his speech pattern—punctuating his sentences with the word "like", and his appearance—he is lanky, with shaggy brown hair and a rough goatee (no mustache, though), typically sporting a green t-shirt and red bell bottoms. In The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo, Scooby Doo Meets the Boo Brothers, Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School, and Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf, he wore a red T-shirt and blue bell bottoms.

Both Shaggy and Scooby-Doo are readily bribed with Scooby Snacks due to their nearly insatiable appetites, and have tendencies toward goofing off and cowardice. They justify their constant hunger by saying, "Being in a constant state of terror makes us constantly hungry!". Both his and Scooby's cowardice (as well as their appetites) have become so ingrained in their characters that they are often portrayed as being expert cowards. Both Shaggy and Scooby are adept runners, have become skilled contortionists due to learning to hide in small places, experts at building barricades from various kinds of furniture and other household objects (even designing one to be collapsible just in case they need to use the barricaded door/entrance as an escape route from the monster/villain).

They are also experts in what is scary (both Shaggy and Scooby have been shown to use each other's fears in their competitions in stealing one another's food) due to their being craven cowards (In the episode " Camp Comeoniwannascareya " they use this knowledge to help a fellow camp counselor and the campers scare off the camp's greedy owner who wishes to turn the summer camp into a resort for adults and children) Shaggy and Scooby have shown to be capable of great physical feats of athletic ability (ability to run at time bordering on superhuman) just through fear alone. He was once able to run on water. He also used his feet to move a boat carrying Scooby, the rest of the gang, plus Velma's sister Madelyn, across a lake while being chased by a flying monster; however, these abilities are mainly comical in nature and Shaggy (along with Scooby) only appear to be capable of said feats when in a state of fear or panic. However, in the most recent DTV 'Scooby Doo: Camp Scare', he shakes the iron bars of an old-fashioned jail cell so hard they collapse out of frustration of being trapped.

[2] Matthew Lillard as Shaggy in the Sooby-Doo film. Shaggy was originally voiced by Casey Kasem , who continued in the role for twenty-eight years. Billy West and Scott Innes (who also voiced Scooby for a time) briefly took over the role in several of the direct-to-video films produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In 2002, Kasem returned to the role for The WB's new Scooby series What's New, Scooby-Doo? . In the live-action films Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed , along with the rebooted animated series Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated , Shaggy is portrayed by Matthew Lillard ; in the live-action prequel Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins , he is portrayed by Nick Palatas . Scott Menville assumed the role of Shaggy in 2005 for Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue's temporary replacement. [ edit ] Relatives Relatives of Shaggy shown during the series include: Mr. & Mrs.

Samuel Chastain "Mom and Pops" Rogers: Shaggy's parents. Shaggy's father is a police officer in most incarnations, save for Mystery Incorporated (in which his first name is Colton not Samuel). At one point, Shaggy's parents lived in Plymouth, Massachusetts . Casey Kasem voiced "Pops" from The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show through the first season of Mystery Incorporated . Grey DeLisle voices "Mom" in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated . Maggie Rogers: Shaggy's younger sister. In A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, she was nicknamed Sugey. Wilfred: Maggie's fiancee/husband, and Shaggy's brother-in-law. Gaggy Rogers: Shaggy's uncle, who likes to play practical jokes. Uncle Shagworthy: Shaggy's rich uncle. Not only does he look like his nephew — he has the same appetite and cowardice. He keeps his most precious possession (food) in a secret refrigerator with valuable jewels. Voiced by Casey Kasem. Great Uncle Nat (Nathaniel): Shaggy's great-uncle. Voiced by Lennie Weinrib .

Uncle Beauregard: Shaggy's late uncle, who left his entire fortune and his Southern mansion and plantation to Shaggy in his will. He was referred to in Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers , although he never made an appearance. Fearless Shagaford: Shaggy's uncle, who owns the Fearless Detective Agency (see Fearless Fosdick ) Uncle Albert Shaggleford: Shaggy's rich uncle, an inventor who's only appeared in Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue! voiced by Casey Kasem. [ edit ] Love interests Sadie Mae Scroggins A blonde haired southern girl who had a crush on Shaggy and wanted to marry him in Scooby-Doo Meets The Boo-Brothers . Shaggy was not interested (despite the fact that she was very attractive) and tried his best to escape from her loving clutches. Shaggy for the most part thinks that Sadie's a "gooney girl" and avoids her through most of the movie. Shaggy also had to watch out for her gun toting older brother Billy Bob who did not approve of his sister's choice.

Googie Shaggy's blonde haired girlfriend in Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf . Not much is shown about their relationship aside from the factor that Googie wants him to be more intimate with her. Shaggy is not always so attentive to her wants, he prefers mostly to snack and other things. Romance is shown furthest from his mind. But he has shown to be fond of her kisses. Crystal A hippie-chick photographer Shaggy falls for in Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders . Shaggy & Scooby meet her and her golden retriever, named Amber (who Scooby falls in love with) shortly after being abducted by aliens. At the end of the film, Crystal and Amber prove to be aliens from 20 light years away, and are dressed like they are because their interpretations of the way humans are dressed were derived from 1960s television broadcasts, to which Shaggy says, "Hey, why mess with a classic look?" After Crystal & Amber leave on their ship, Shaggy and Scooby are broken-hearted, but a box of Scooby Snacks does the trick to snap the duo out of their sorrows.

Mary Jane Shaggy's love interest in the first live action Scooby-Doo film . She is possessed by a demon under the control of Scrappy-Doo late in the movie, but it is expelled. Her name "Mary Jane" is a pun on the slang term for marijuana . She, like Shaggy, enjoys eating Scooby Snacks . Madelyn "Madds" Dinkley Velma's younger sister. She has a huge crush on Shaggy since she was younger. Due to her crush on him, Shaggy refers to her as "Doe-eyed Dinkley" and calls her by the nickname "Madds". Madelyn's obvious crush on him has made Shaggy wary of her. She thinks Shaggy is braver & smarter than he actually is. She is Shaggy's love interest in Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo . Velma is alerted by her mother that the school Madelyn is attending is being terrorized by a griffin. Though indifferent at first, Shaggy eventually discovers that he likes Madelyn in the same way that she likes him.

After Madelyn is taken by the griffin, Shaggy shows he (along with Scooby) is willing to help rescue her without the others convincing him to (however in typical Shaggy fashion he comes prepared, donning a suit of medieval armor and carrying the "ancient spear/staff of O'Flannery" that is supposed to grant the user control of the Griffin). During a confrontation with the griffin Shaggy & Scooby are separated from the others. Fred tells them to stay where they are while he, Velma, & Daphne go for help. While waiting for the others to return, Shaggy and Scooby hear Madelyn (who is locked-up nearby) crying for help. At first Shaggy is reluctant to go save her out of fear and cowardice suggests to Scooby they should wait for the other, Scooby disgusted (in serious tone) tells Shaggy, "Rhaggy, Madelyn rikes you!" (translation "Shaggy, Madelyn likes you!"), realizing Scooby is right, Shaggy goes off to rescue Madelyn (with Scooby right behind him).

Shaggy and Scooby gain entrance to the tower through the O'Flannery's spear, which is actually a key to a door in the tower. Upon entering the room where Madelyn is being held, Madelyn who is watching from afar, sees Shaggy clad in armor and removing his helmet (looking very heroic to Madelyn). While ogling her very own "knight in shining armor" (Shaggy), she briefly loses her balance, but quickly recovers (that along with her composure). While trying to escape from the griffin, all three manage to end up in its clutches as it flies around the castle. Shaggy tries to get the griffin to stop by throwing the staff at it, but the staff misses is goes into the sky. However, the griffin soon crashes to the ground (Shaggy, Madelyn, & Scooby manage to escape before it crashes). Madelyn proudly states Shaggy "got" the monster (ignoring the fact that using the staff to stop the griffin was originally her idea) and hugs him. At the end of the movie, Shaggy is shown congratulating her backstage after performing a magic trick.

Velma Dinkley Shaggy's official love interest in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated series (it is the first series to have an officially stated romantic relationship between the two). In the first episode Velma is trying to get Shaggy to be more intimate in their relationship, however he feels it should be kept a secret as he doesn't want to hurt Scooby's feelings. Their relationship appears as an ongoing romantic-subplot in the new Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated series. Scooby-Doo | Fictional Characters Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia The head of children's programming at CBS , Fred Silverman came up with the character's name from the syllables " doo-be-doo-be-doo " in Frank Sinatra 's hit song " Strangers in the Night ". [1] Contents [ show ] Personality Different iterations of the character have been developed and expanded in the various series featuring the characters, many of them contradicting, such as the original series and recent live-action movies where Shaggy and Scooby-Doo first meet as older teenagers for the first time, contradicting the "Pup Named Scooby-Doo" animated series where they know each other from almost infancy.

In all versions of the character, ‎Scooby-Doo and Shaggy share several personality traits, mostly being cowardly and perpetually hungry. But their friends ( Velma , Daphne and Fred ) encourage them to go after the costumed villains, usually with " Scooby Snacks ", a biscuit-like dog treat or cookie snack (usually shaped like a bone or, in later versions of the cartoons, Scooby's dog tag), though Scooby's inherent loyalty and courage does often force him to take a more heroic stance. Scooby has a speech impediment and tends to pronounce most words as if they begin with an " R ", though most characters are able to understand him perfectly. In most iterations, he keeps his sentences relatively short, usually using charades for anything longer than three or four words. His catch phrase , usually howled at the end of every episode, is "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" or "Rooby-Rooby-Roo". He also usually says, at least once per episode, "Ruh-roh, Raggy" ("Uh-oh, Shaggy").

His quirky chuckle is often also in an episode, but it changed slightly when Frank Welker took over the voice of Scooby. Scooby's voice is similar to that of the earlier character Astro from The Jetsons . Appearance and anatomy Scooby is brown from head to toe with several distinctive black spots on his upper body and doesn't seem to have a melanistic mask . He is generally a quadruped, but displays bipedal 'human' characteristics occasionally. Scooby also has opposible thumbs and can use his front paws like hands. He has a black nose and wears an off-yellow, diamond shaped-tagged blue collar with an "SD" (his initials) and has four toes on each foot and unlike other dogs, Scooby only has one pad on the sole of each of his feet (so that it was easier to draw in the Scooby-Doo Annuals). Scooby has a fully prehensile tail he can use to swing from or press buttons. Both his head and tail are malleable and useful as a communication aid or creating a distraction.

Creator Iwao Takamoto later explained that before he designed the character, he first spoke to a Great Dane breeder, who described to him the desirable characteristics of a pedigree dog. Takamoto then drew Scooby as the opposite of this. He said "I decided to go the opposite [way] and gave him a hump back, bowed legs, small chin and such. Even his colour is wrong." [2] According to the official magazine that accompanied the 2002 movie , Scooby is seven years old (forty-nine in stereotypical dog years). Shaggy and Scooby Doo as heroes to the Gang In the following films listed below, it showed that Shaggy and Scooby both had the ability to come to the rescue and act as "superheroes" when the rest of the gang are in trouble (Such as being captured) or needed some help: Batman: The Brave and the Bold Voice cast Don Messick originated the character's voice patterns, and provided Scooby-Doo's voice in every Scooby-Doo production from 1969 until 1996, when Messick retired.

Scott Innes (also the then-voice of Shaggy) voiced Scooby-Doo in four late 1990s/early 2000s direct-to-video films, and Frank Welker (also the voice of Fred) took over beginning with What's New, Scooby-Doo? in 2002 and other spin-offs including the live-action prequel Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins. Neil Fanning provided the voice of the computer-generated Scooby-Doo in the first two Warner Bros. live-action feature films. Luke Youngblood is the stand in for the computer-generated Scooby-Doo in the live-action Scooby-Doo! Curse Of The Lake Monster while Frank Welker voices him. Frank Welker (2002–present plus Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins & Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster) Neil Fanning (2002 and 2004 live-action films) In Brazil , the actor Orlando Drummond has been the voice of Scooby Doo for 30 years. In Denmark , Scooby-Doo is voiced by Lars Thiesgaard.

In Japan , Scooby-Doo's previously voices is Kazuo Kumakura and Naomi Kusumi Scooby-Doo is possibly voiced by Masaya Onosaka . Relatives Over the course of Scooby-Doo's various spin-offs, various relatives of Scooby were introduced: Scrappy-Doo : Scooby's young nephew (and son of Scooby's sister Ruby-Doo), Scrappy is the bravest of Scooby's relatives. Scrappy became a recurring character in the Scooby-Doo series beginning in 1979, and was noted for being quite headstrong and always wanting to face off in a fight against the various villains (unlike his uncle). Scooby and Shaggy were present at Scrappy's birth. Yabba-Doo : According to Scrappy and Yabba-Doo Yabba is Scooby's brother, a white dog owned by Deputy Dusty in the American southwest. Unlike Scooby, Yabba is brave.

Unlike Scooby's and Scrappy's, his typical custom catch-phrase at the end is "Yippity-Yabbity-Doooo!!!" (and not "Yabba-Dabba-Doo!", presumably due to another Hanna-Barbera character 's usage of that phrase). Scooby-Dum : Scooby's cousin (according to Shaggy in "Headless Horeseman of Halloween), a blue-grey dog. A Mortimer Snerd -esque dog who longed to be a detective. Was rather dimwitted (he'd keep looking for clues even after the mystery was solved). Scooby-Dee: Scooby's distant cousin, a white dog. Spoke with a Southern accent, and was an actress. Dooby-Doo: Scooby's cousin, a singer. He is one of Scooby's few relatives to have hair on his head. Only appeared in "The 'Dooby Dooby Doo' Ado". Yankee-Doodle-Doo: Scooby's ancestor. Not much is known about him. He appears to be a pilgrim.

Love Interests Amber: In Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders , Shaggy and Scooby are abducted by the "aliens" and abandoned in the desert. There they meet a wild life photographer, Crystal and her dog Amber. Scooby was heart broken when it is revealed that Amber and Crystal are actually aliens from another planet and must go home, though he and Shaggy quickly forget about them when they found out there was one more Scooby Snack box left. Amber and Crystal did seem to have actual feelings for Shaggy and Scooby but don't pursue them due to 'long distance relationships never working out'. Amber's disguised form is that of a Golden Retriever wearing a red bandana while her true form is a large, blue reptilian creature with a beak-like mouth. Like Scooby, she is capable of speech but only shows so at the end of the movie and unlike Scooby, she speaks like a normal human. Dusk: In the episode "The Vampire Strikes Back", Scooby was caught in a costume and Dusk kisses him. Scooby then giggles.

Chiquita: In Scooby-Doo and the Monster of Mexico , Scooby meets up with Chiquita, Alejo's son's pet Chihuahua, when the gang arrives at Alejo's family hotel. Googy: In Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf , he received a kiss from her, then later at the monster race, he tried to get another kiss, but was pulled off by Shaggy. Sandy Duncan : In The New Scooby-Doo Movies episode: Sandy Duncan's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Scooby fell for Sandy Duncan at a studio. Sled dog: In the Scooby Doo Show episode, A Scary Night With a Snow Beast Fright, Scooby falls in love with a sled dog . At the end, she kisses him. Miyumi: In Scooby-Doo and the Samurai Sword , the gang meets up with Daphne's foreign friend, Miyumi, in Japan.

Miyumi's affection for Scooby was evident in a few scenes in the movie, such as petting him at the beginning, offering him ten Scooby Snacks inside of a cave while trying to lure him out of a jet , and even kissing him on the nose at the end of the movie. On another side note, Scooby enjoyed watching a battle between Daphne and Miyumi, which Shaggy referred to as a "kung-fu catfight " and Scooby agreeing. Also, Scooby hinted an interest for Miyumi at the end of the movie by asking her to sit next to him in the Mystery Machine during the gang's future mysteries before she declined. Chrissie: Mr. B's prize dog, and mother of the Secret Six (Maize, Flax, Jingle, Knox, 14-Carat, and Bling-Bling) appeared in the What's New series, where Scooby said he'll find the Six that were dog-napped. In episodes where she appears, Chrissie and Scooby might adventure with Shaggy . Roxannne: An old girlfriend that Scooby meets again in What's New episode, A Scooby-Doo Valentine.

Nova: In Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorperated series 2!, Scooby and the gang meet Fred's long lost parents Brad and Judy, along with their dog, Nova. Scooby and Nova fall in love, until Nova dies and begins to aid Scooby through the hard times. Weakness One of Scooby's big weaknesses is that he's ticklish which can be seen in both the series and some movies too. Scooby-Doo And The Alien Invaders : When one of the aliens attaches a wire to Scooby's side it tickles and he laughs until the alien says,"Co-operate and you wiill not be harmed." Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf :Gingas Kong grabs Scooby from Shaggy's car and tickles his tummy saying,"Cootchi coo." Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins : During the song You and I Shaggy tickles Scooby's tummy. Shags to Riches: In the first episode of Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue! Shaggy tickles Scooby's tummy after it rumbles with hunger.

San Franpsycho:In this episode Scooby is tickled by a security guard while entering the skate park. Gold Paw:In this episode Scooby is tickled by 2 security guards during entry into Fort Knox. Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School : In the movie Scooby is tickled from behind by a monster impersonator of Shaggy. Reception Casey Kasem , the previous voice actor for Shaggy Rogers , said that Scooby is "the star of the show--the Shaquille O'Neal of the show." Kasem explained "People love animals more than they love people. Am I right or wrong? They give more love to their pets than they give to people. Scooby is vulnerable and lovable and not brave, and very much like the kids who watch. But like kids, he likes to think that he's brave."

Over the years, the series has had several names and characters. The original 1969 series was called “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!” It was created for Hanna-Barbera Productions by writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears and character designer, Iwao Takamoto.

Hanna-Barbera produced numerous spin-offs and related works until being absorbed in 1997 into Warner Bros. Animation, which has handled production since then. Although the format of the show and the cast (and ages) of characters have varied significantly over the years, the most familiar versions of the show feature a talking dog named Scooby-Doo and four teenagers: Fred "Freddie" Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers. These five characters (collectively known as “Mystery, Inc.”, but never referred to as such in the original series) drive around the world in a van called the “Mystery Machine,” and solve mysteries typically involving tales of ghosts and other supernatural forces. At the end of each episode, the supernatural forces turn out to have a rational explanation, typically criminal plots involving costumes, latex masks and special effects intended to frighten or distract. Scooby-Doo was originally broadcast on CBS from 1969 to 1976, when it moved to ABC.

ABC aired the show until canceling it in 1986, and presented a spin-off, “A Pup Named Scooby-Doo,” from 1988 until 1991. This series focused on the Scooby gang as children. “What's New, Scooby-Doo?” aired on the WB Network during the Kids' WB programming block from 2002 until 2005. The current Scooby-Doo series, “Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!,” airs Saturday mornings on The CW network. Repeats of the original series (“Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!”), as well as second-run episodes of “What's New, Scooby-Doo?,” are broadcast frequently on the Cartoon Network and Boomerang in the United States and other countries. The Birth of Scooby Doo and the Scooby Gang Scooby was born in the 1960s. In 1968, a number of parent-run organizations, most notably Action for Children's Television (ACT), began vocally protesting what they perceived as an excessive amount of gratuitous violence in Saturday morning cartoons during the mid-to-late 1960s.

Most of these shows were Hanna-Barbera action cartoons such as Jonny Quest, Space Ghost and The Herculoids, and virtually all of them were canceled by 1969 because of pressure from the parent groups. Members of these watchgroups served as advisers to Hanna-Barbera and other animation studios to ensure that their new programs would be safe for children. There was an additional motivation, an animated version of the Beatles had put on by a competing network and was beating the pants off the CBS Saturday morning cartoon lineup. Fred Silverman, executive in charge of children's programming for the CBS network at the time, was looking for a show that would revitalize his Saturday morning line-up and please the watchgroups at the same time. Silverman had recently scored big with “The Archie Show.” Silverman was eager to expand upon this success, and contacted producers William Hanna and Joseph Barbera about possibly creating another show based around a teenage rock group, but with an extra element: the kids would solve mysteries in between their gigs. Silverman envisioned the show as a cross between the popular I Love a Mystery radio serials of the 1940s and the popular early 1960s TV show The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.

Hanna and Barbera passed this task along to two of their head storymen, Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, and artist/character designer Iwao Takamoto. Their original concept of the show bore the title “Mysteries Five,” and featured five teens (Geoff, Mike, Kelly, Linda, and Linda's brother "W.W.") and their dog, “Too Much,” who were all in a band called “The Mysteries Five” (even the dog; he played the bongos). When “The Mysteries Five” were not performing at gigs, they were out solving spooky mysteries involving ghosts, zombies, and other supernatural creatures. Ruby and Spears were unable to decide whether “Too Much,” who later became Scooby, would be a large cowardly dog or a small feisty dog. When it was decided that it should be a large cowardly dog, the choices were narrowed down to a large goofy Great Dane or a big shaggy sheepdog.

It was all pretty fluid at this time, and the name of the show for a period was also "Who's Scared." After consulting with Barbera on the issue, Too Much was finally set as a Great Dane, primarily to avoid a direct correlation to The Archies (who had a sheepdog, Hot Dog, in their band). Ruby and Spears feared the Great Dane would be too similar to the comic strip character Marmaduke, but Barbera assured them it would not be a problem. Takamoto consulted a studio colleague who happened to be a breeder of Great Danes. After learning the characteristics of a prize-winning Great Dane. Takamoto proceeded to break most of the rules and designed “Too Much” with overly bowed legs, a double chin, and a sloped back, among other abnormalities. In other words, the dog we know and love as Scooby-Doo is the poorest specimen of a Great Dane. Of course, that is why we love Scooby. By the time the show was ready for presentation to CBS executives, a few more things had changed. Two of the characters (Geoff and Mike) were merged into one character called “Ronnie.” Ronnie later became “Fred," at the direction of Silverman.

The character Kelly was renamed to “Daphne,” Linda was now called “Velma,” and Shaggy (formerly "W.W.") was no longer her brother. Using storyboards, presentation boards, and a short completed animation sequence, Silverman presented “Who's Scared?” to the CBS executives as the centerpiece for the upcoming 1969–1970 season's Saturday morning cartoon block. The executives felt that the show was far too frightening for young viewers and, thinking the show would be the same, decided to pass on it. On the plane ride back to Los Angeles, Silverman decided to rename the dog to Scooby Doo, rename the show, and make Scooby the star. Silverman believed these changes would take the focus away from frightening parts of the show. Silverman had Ruby and Spears rework the show to make it more comedic and less frightening.

They dropped the rock band element, and began to focus more attention on Shaggy and “Too Much.” According to Ruby and Spears, Silverman was inspired by the ad-lib "doo-be-doo-be-doo" he heard at the end of Frank Sinatra's interpretation of Bert Kaempfert's song "Strangers in the Night" on the way out to one of their meetings, and decided to rename the dog "Scooby-Doo" and re-rechristen the show Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! The birth of the Scooby gang is clearly influenced by “I Love a Mystery” and “Dobie Gillis.” Mark Evanier, who would write Scooby-Doo teleplays and comic book scripts in the 1970s and 1980s, identified each of the four teenagers with their corresponding Dobie Gillis character: “Fred was based on Dobie, Velma on Zelda, Daphne on Thalia and Shaggy on Maynard.” The similarities between Shaggy and Maynard are the most noticeable; both characters share the same beatnik-style goatee, similar hairstyles, and demeanours.

The revised show was re-presented to CBS executives, who approved it for production. Scooby-Doo television series (The CBS years) Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! made its CBS network debut on Saturday, September 13, 1969 with its first episode, "What a Night for a Knight." Seventeen episodes of Scooby-Doo were produced in 1969. The series' eponymous theme song was written by David Mook and Ben Raleigh, and performed by Larry Marks. The influences of I Love a Mystery and Dobie Gillis were especially apparent in these early episodes; Mark Evanier, who would write Scooby-Doo teleplays and comic book scripts in the 1970s and 1980s, identified each of the four teenagers with their corresponding Dobie Gillis character: “Fred was based on Dobie, Velma on Zelda, Daphne on Thalia and Shaggy on Maynard.” The similarities between Shaggy and Maynard are the most noticeable; both characters share the same beatnik-style goatee, similar hairstyles, and demeanours.

The roles of each character are also strongly defined in the series: Fred is the leader and the determined detective, Velma is the intelligent analyst, Daphne is danger-prone and vain, and Shaggy and Scooby-Doo are cowardly types more motivated by hunger than any desire to solve mysteries. Later versions of the show would make slight changes to the characters' established roles, most notably in the character of Daphne, shown in 1990s and 2000s Scooby-Doo productions as knowing many forms of karate and being able to defend herself. The plot of each Scooby-Doo episode followed a formula that would serve as a template for many of the later incarnations of the series. At the beginning of the episode, the Mystery, Inc. gang bump into some type of evil ghost or monster, which they learn has been terrorizing the local populace. The teens offer to help solve the mystery behind the creature, but while looking for clues and suspects, the gang (and in particular Shaggy and Scooby) run into the monster, who always gives chase.

Shaggy and Scooby are always then used a “live bait” to trap the monster in some Rube Goldberg-type plan hatched by Fred. Although Fred's plan never works, the monster is caught by accident (usually caused by Scooby, Shaggy, or both). Once the monster is captured and after analyzing the clues they have found, the gang determines that this monster is simply a mere mortal in disguise. Upon learning the villain's true identity, the fiendish plot is fully explained, and the apprehended criminal would utter the famous catchphrase, or a variation thereof: “And I would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for you meddling kids!” In 1972, after 25 half-hour episodes, the program was doubled to a full hour and called “The New Scooby-Doo Movies,” each episode of which featured a different guest star helping the gang solve mysteries. Among the most notable of these guest stars were the Harlem Globetrotters, the Three Stooges, Don Knotts, Sonny & Cher and Batman & Robin, each of whom appeared at least twice on the show.

Hanna-Barbera musical director Hoyt Curtin composed a new theme song for this series, and Curtin's theme would remain in use for much of Scooby-Doo's original broadcast run. After two seasons and 24 episodes of the New Movies format from 1972 to 1974, the show went to reruns of the original series until Scooby moved to ABC in 1976. The ABC years On ABC, the show went through almost yearly format changes. For their 1976–1977 season, new episodes of Scooby-Doo were joined with a new Hanna-Barbera show, Dynomutt, Dog Wonder, to create The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour. (It became The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Show when a bonus Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! rerun was added to it in November 1976.) This hour-long package show later evolved into the longer programming blocks Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics (1977–1978) and Scooby's All-Stars (1978–1979).

New Scooby episodes, in the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! format, were produced for each of these three seasons. Four of these episodes featured Scooby's dim-witted country cousin Scooby-Dum as a semi-regular character. The Scooby-Doo episodes produced during these three seasons were later packaged together for syndication as The Scooby-Doo Show, under which title they continue to air. For the Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics and Scooby's All-Stars programming blocks, Scooby-Doo was packaged alongside Laff-A-Lympics, a new Hanna-Barbera cartoon featuring many of its characters in parodies of Olympic sporting events. Scooby-Doo appeared on the show as the team captain of the "Scooby Doobies" team, with Shaggy and Scooby-Dum among his teammates. In 1979, Scooby's tiny nephew Scrappy-Doo was added to both the series and the billing, in an attempt to boost Scooby-Doo's slipping ratings.

The 1979–1980 episodes, aired under the title Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, succeeded in regenerating interest in the show, and as a result the entire show was overhauled in 1980 to focus more upon Scrappy-Doo. Fred, Daphne, and Velma were dropped from the series, and the new Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo format was now comprised of three seven-minute comedic adventures starring Scooby, Scrappy, and Shaggy instead of one half-hour mystery. This version of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo aired as part of The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show from 1980 to 1982, and as part of The Scooby-Doo/Scrappy-Doo/Puppy Hour from 1982 to 1983. Most of the supernatural villains in the seven-minute Scooby and Scrappy cartoons, who in previous Scooby series had been revealed to be human criminals in costume, were now "real" within the context of the series.

Daphne returned to the cast for The All-New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show in 1983, which comprised two 11-minute episodes in a format reminiscent of the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! mysteries. This version of the show lasted for two seasons, with the second season airing under the title The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries and featuring semi-regular appearances from Fred and Velma. 1985 saw the debut of The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, which featured Daphne, Shaggy, Scooby, Scrappy, and new characters Flim-Flam and Vincent Van Ghoul (based upon and voiced by Vincent Price) traveling the globe to capture "thirteen of the most terrifying ghosts and ghouls on the face of the earth." The final first-run episode of The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo aired in March 1986, and no new Scooby series aired on the network for the next two years.

Reruns of previous Scooby episodes, however, continued to air, both as part of the Scooby-Doo Mystery Funhouse package and under the New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show banner. Hanna-Barbera reincarnated the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! cast as junior high school students for A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, which debuted on ABC in 1988. A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was an irreverent, zany re-imagining of the series, heavily inspired by the classic cartoons of Tex Avery and Bob Clampett, and eschewed the quasi-reality of the original Scooby series for a more Looney Tunes-like style. The retooled show was a success, and lasted until 1991. The Scooby-Doo Influence Scooby-Doo has maintained a significant fan base, which has grown steadily since the 1990s due to the show's popularity among both young children and nostalgic adults who grew up with the series. The show's mix of the comedy-adventure and horror genres is often noted as the reason for its widespread success.

As Fred Silverman and the Hanna-Barbera staff had planned when they first began producing the series, Scooby-Doo's ghosts, monsters, and spooky locales tend more towards humor than horror, making them easily accessible to younger children. "Overall, [Scooby-Doo is] just not a show that is going to overstimulate kids' emotions and tensions," offered American Center for Children and Media executive director David Kleeman in a 2002 interview. "It creates just enough fun to make it fun without getting them worried or giving them nightmares." In recent years, Scooby-Doo has received recognition for its popularity by placing in a number of "top cartoon" or top cartoon character" polls. The August 3, 2002, issue of TV Guide featured its list of the "50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time", in which Scooby-Doo placed twenty-second Scooby also ranked thirteenth in Animal Planet's list of the "50 Greatest TV Animals". Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! ranked forty-ninth in the UK network Channel 4's 2005 list of the "100 Greatest Cartoons of All Time".

For one year from 2004 to 2005, Scooby-Doo held the Guinness World Record for having the most episodes of any animated television series ever produced, a record previously held by and later returned to The Simpsons. Scooby-Doo was published as holding this record in the 2006 edition of the Guinness Book of Records. Subsequent television shows and films often make reference to Scooby-Doo, for example Wayne's World and the television series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in which Buffy and her monster-slaying friends refer to themselves as the "Scooby Gang" or "Scoobies", a knowing reference to Scooby-Doo. (Coincidentally, Sarah Michelle Gellar, who played Buffy, later played Daphne in the live-action movies). Even South Park paid homage to Scooby-Doo in an episode entitled "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery". The Kevin Smith film, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, included a scene where Jay and Silent Bob are picked up in the Mystery Machine while hitchhiking and both they and Mystery, Inc., get "high" off of "dooby snacks".

A plethora of other media properties have referenced or parodied Scooby-Doo, among them the TV Funhouse segment of NBC's Saturday Night Live, the online comic Sluggy Freelance, the FOX animated series, Family Guy and The Simpsons, and the Cartoon Network programs, Johnny Bravo, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law and The Venture Bros. Shaggy and Scooby also appeared in Looney Tunes: Back in Action, complaining to Matthew Lilard about how they were portrayed in the live action films. Scooby-Doo Videos In addition to the television show, Scooby Doo and the gang have made numerous videos.

These Scooby-Doo videos include: * Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island (1998) * Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost (1999) * Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders (2000) * Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase (2001) * Scooby-Doo and the Legend of the Vampire (2003) * Scooby-Doo and the Monster of Mexico (2003) * Scooby-Doo and the Loch Ness Monster (2004) * Aloha, Scooby-Doo!

New Products Scooby-Doo (Character) | Scooby Mania Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Edit Different iterations of the character have been developed and expanded in the various series featuring the characters, many of them contradicting such as the original series and recent live action movie where Shaggy and Scooby-Doo first meet as older teenagers for the first time which contradicts the "Pup Named Scooby-Doo" animated series where they know each other from almost baby-age. However in all versions of the character, ‎Scooby-Doo and Shaggy Rogers share several personality traits, mostly being scared easily. But their friends (Velma, Daphne and Fred) encourage them to go after the costumed villains usually with "Scooby Snacks", a biscuit-like dog treat or cookie snack (usually shaped like a bone or as shown in later versions of the cartoons Scooby's dog tag), though occasionally appealing to Scooby-Doo inherent loyalty and courage to take a more heroic stance. In all iterations, Scooby has a speech impediment and tends to pronounce most words as if they begin with an "R", though most characters are able to understand him perfectly.

His catch phrase, usually howled at the end of every episode, is "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" or "Rooby-Rooby-Roo". He also usually says, at least once per episode, "Ruh-roh, Raggy" ("Uh-oh, Shaggy"). His quirky chuckle is often also in an episode, but it changed slightly when Frank Welker took over the voice of Scooby. Scooby's voice is similar to that of the earlier character Astro from The Jetsons. In the books it is said that Scooby apparently likes "Peach Cobblers". Appearance and anatomy Edit Scooby is brown from head to toe with several distinctive black spots on his upper body. He is generally a quadruped, but displays bipedal 'human' characteristics occasionally. Scooby also has opposible thumbs and can use his front paws like hands.

He has a black nose and wears an off-yellow, diamond shaped-tagged blue collar with an "SD" (short for Scooby-Doo) and has four toes on each foot and unlike other dogs, Scooby only has one pad on the sole of each of his feet (so that it was easier to draw in the Scooby-Doo Annuals). Iwao Takamoto later explained that before he designed the character, he first spoke to a Great Dane breeder, who described to him the desirable characteristics of a pedigree dog. Takamoto then drew Scooby as the opposite of this. He said "I decided to go the opposite [way] and gave him a hump back, bowed legs, big chin and such. Even his colour is wrong."[1] According to the official magazine that accompanied the 2002 movie, Scooby is seven years old (forty-nine in dog years). Voice cast Edit Don Messick originated the character's voice patterns, and provided Scooby-Doo's voice in every Scooby-Doo production from 1969 until 1996, when Messick retired.

Scott Innes (also the then-voice of Shaggy) voiced Scooby-Doo in four late 1990s/early 2000s direct-to-video films, and Frank Welker (also the voice of Fred) took over beginning with What's New, Scooby-Doo? in 2002 and other spin-offs. Neil Fanning provided the voice of the computer-generated Scooby-Doo present in the first two Warner Bros. live-action feature films. Don Messick (1969–1996) Neil Fanning (2002 and 2004 live-action films) Relatives Edit Over the course of Scooby-Doo's various spin-offs, various relatives of Scooby were introduced: Scrappy-Doo: Scooby's young nephew (and son of Scooby's sister Ruby-Doo), Scrappy is the bravest of Scooby's relatives. Scrappy became a recurring character in the Scooby-Doo series beginning in 1979, and was noted for being quite headstrong and always wanting to face off in a fight against the various villains (unlike his uncle). Scooby and Shaggy were present at Scrappy's birth.

Yabba-Doo: According to Scrappy and Yabba-Doo Yabba is Scooby's brother, a white dog owned by Deputy Dusty in the American southwest. Unlike Scooby, Yabba is brave. Unlike Scooby's and Scrappy's, his typical custom catch-phrase at the end is "Yippity-Yabbity-Doooo!!!" (and not "Yabba-Dabba-Doo!", presumably due to another Hanna-Barbera character's usage of that phrase). Scooby-Dum: Scooby's cousin (according to Shaggy in "Headless Horeseman of Hallowen), a blue-grey dog. A Mortimer Snerd-esque dog who longed to be a detective. Was rather dimwitted (he'd keep looking for clues even after the mystery was solved). Scooby-Dee: Scooby's distant cousin, a white dog. Spoke with a Southern accent, and was an actress. Dooby-Doo: Scooby's cousin, a singer. He is one of Scooby's few relatives to have hair on his head. Only appeared in "The 'Dooby Dooby Doo' Ado".

Momsy and Dada Doo: Scooby's parents. Whoopsy-Doo: Scooby's cousin, a clown. Owned by Shaggy (Norville)'s uncle, Gaggy Rogers. Ruby-Doo: Scooby's sister, and mother of Scrappy-Doo. Skippy-Doo: Scooby's brother. Highly intelligent; he wears glasses. Howdy-Doo: Scooby's brother. Enjoyed reading Supermarket tabloid newspapers. He appears to become a redhead. Horton-Doo: Scooby's uncle. Was interested in monsters and science. Dixie-Doo: Scooby's cousin and the pet of Betty Lou, Shaggy's Southern cousin. Grandpa Scooby: Scooby's grandfather. Great-Grandpa Scooby: Scooby's great-grandfather. Yankee-Doodle-Doo: Scooby's ancestor. Not much is known about him. He appears to be a pilgrim. Dumper Scoots: A confused lion that thinks he is a dog. Having the same speech pattern as Scooby-Doo, he believes he is Scooby's cousin. Love Interests Sandy Duncan: In T he New Scooby-Doo Movies episode: " Sandy Duncan's Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ", Scooby fell for Sandy Duncan at a studio. Jeannie: In The New Scooby-Doo Movies episode: " Scooby-Doo Meets Jeannie ", before the Mystery Machine crashes on the road, Scooby looks out the window and notices Jeannie up in the air, waving to him. While in Persia (now referred to as Iran), Jeannie is kidnapped, but Scooby manages to set her free by howling. Jeannie is so grateful, she kisses Scooby. Sled dog: In the "Snow Beast" episode, Scooby falls in love with a sled dog. At the end, she kisses him. Nova: The dog of Fred's parents in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated . Nova was badly injured and died, although came back in a new timeline. Jeffrey P. Dennis, author of the journal article "The Same Thing We Do Every Night: Signifying Same-Sex Desire in Television Cartoons," said that several commentators argued that Scooby and Shaggy are a homosexual couple, citing Saturday Morning Fever authors Kevin and Timothy Burke.

Dennis argues that while Scooby and Shaggy hunt for ghosts together, they are not a homosexual couple since they do not engage in activities as a couple, share living spaces, or express any romantic feelings towards one another. Dennis said that their habits of jumping into one another's arms when threatened would usually be a sign of cowardice rather than affection.[2] Martin Goodman of Animation World Magazine responded, stating that "Any serious reading of this section in Saturday Morning Fever (pp. 105-111) quickly reveals that the Burkes were, in a most un-academic fashion, goofing" and "As for any specific statements on the sexual orientations of Scooby and Shaggy, the Burkes plainly dismiss the issue: “Sometimes a cartoon character is just a cartoon character” (p. 106)."[3] Trivia Shaggy Rogers | Scoobydoo Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Norville 'Shaggy' Rogers is 6 feet 3 inches tall, 16 years old and was born in late July, according to one of the Scooby Doo Mystery Books written and published from the late 90s to the early 00s..

History Edit Shaggy closely reflects the 1960s era in which the original " Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! " series was created, particularly in his manner of speaking (he often punctuates his sentences with the word "like") and his appearance—he is lanky, with bushy brown hair and a rough goatee, and typically wears a green T-shirt and bell bottoms. Thus, he embodies elements of both the early-60s beatnik, and the late-60s hippie. In fact, the primary inspiration for the character came from Maynard G. Krebs, a beatnik character played by Bob Denver in the early 60s sitcom " The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis ". Though he was once depicted wearing a red winter jacket and blue jeans in the episode " Watt A Shocking Ghost ". Both Shaggy and Scooby-Doo have nearly insatiable appetites, as well as tendencies towards goofing off and cowardice. Due to these similarities, Shaggy typically treats Scooby as a normal person rather than his pet. Shaggy uses his catch phrase "Zoinks!" whenever he's surprised or scared, which is frequently.

Although usually considered a coward, Shaggy often proves useful in ferreting out the "monsters" and "ghosts" that are usually at the heart of the gang's mysteries, sometimes inadvertently, and sometimes by reluctantly acting as "live bait" for a trap, providing a necessary distraction for their eventual capture. Shaggy also has, disguise and ventriloquism skills as well as being athletic, which often helps the gang. Voice Actors Edit Casey Kasem payed Shaggy for a time where Shaggy was portrayed as a vegetarian, by request of Kasem, who is a vegan. In the past, Shaggy had a tendency to overeat and eat anything he could. Kasem disagreed with this portrayal, and in 1995 he walked out on the role when Shaggy and Scooby-Doo were to be portrayed in a Burger King commercial. He also did this because the producers of Scooby Doo would not turn shaggy into a vegan, which Kasem was. Therefore he quit, later to rejoin the crew when they allowed shaggy to be a vegeterian, only ten years later, in the series " What's New, Scooby-Doo? ".

Scott Innes and Billy West briefly took over the role in several of the direct-to-video films produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In the two live-action Scooby Doo movies, he is played by Matthew Lillard . In the "Scooby Doo" TV series, " Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue! ", Scott Menville voices the role, and Shaggy is no longer a vegetarian and his excessive eating habits have returned. In 2010 , the new Scooby-Doo series " Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated " has launched its pilot episode on April , and Matthew Lillard who have potrayed Shaggy Rogers for the first two Scooby-Doo Movies has been selected to voice Shaggy Rogers in the new series. Catchphrases "How about a snack, Scoob?" "Scoob! old friend, old buddy, old pal!" "Scooby Doo, where are you?" "Groovy!" Uncle Albert Shaggleford : in Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue! , the two live in the mansion of this nanotechnology researcher.

McBaggy Rogers , a Pilgrim who came to Plymouth, Massachusetts aboard the Mayflower in 1620. Note: 1. In A Pup Named Scooby Doo, Shaggy is shown to have an infant sister named "Sugey", presumably a younger version of Maggie (which would make "Sugey" a nickname). However, the difference between the two siblings' ages in Pup seems greater than the difference when both are older (i.e., Maggie apparently aged at a faster rate over the ensuing years than Shaggy did). A similar phenomenon is found in the popular comic strip Peanuts, where Sally was aged from infancy to being a year or two younger than her brother Charlie Brown. Relationships (girlfriends) Shaggy Rogers | Snafu Comics Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Norville Rogers, better known as Shaggy, is a character who appears in Brain Dead . He is the owner and best friend of the Great Dane, Scooby-Doo . Contents [ show ] Story He was seen sneaking along with Scooby Doo through the corridors of Julie's appartment. They later left and and went into Julie's room to eat her food but got eaten by the zombies.

Appearance Described as a "lanky teen" by Fred Jones, Shaggy is fairly light for his age—even Velma Dinkley can pick him up with her own hands. He seems to have a very long neck. He usually wears a green t-shirt and brown bell-bottom pants, but he is sometimes seen in a red t-shirt and blue-colored pants. He also has wiskers. Powers and Abilities Although usually considered a coward, Shaggy often proves useful in ferreting out the "monsters" and "ghosts" that are usually at the heart of the gang's mysteries, sometimes inadvertently, and sometimes by reluctantly acting as "live bait" for a trap, providing a necessary distraction for their eventual capture. Shaggy also has disguise and ventriloquism skills, as well as being athletic, which often helps the gang, and has even dressed up as Daphne and Scooby on at least one occasion (usually for Halloween or something similar.) He is even capable of doing certain vocal impessions, from the Ghost of Redbeard (Go Away Ghost Ship) to even a train in a tunnel (Mine Your Own Business). Shaggy also has an enormous appetite able to eat and eat.... and eat.

Origin Shaggy is a fictional character from the American animated television series Scooby-Doo, about the adventures of four crime-solving teenagers and Shaggy's pet great dane, Scooby-Doo. Shaggy is a cowardly slacker more interested in eating than solving mysteries. He is the only Scooby-Doo character (besides Scooby) to appear in all iterations of the franchise. Shaggy's distinct personality is evident in his speech pattern commonly due to his frequent use of punctuating his sentences with the word "like" and his appearance — he is lanky, has sandy hair worn in a shaggy style (hence his nickname) and a rough goatee with no mustache, and typically sports a green v-neck and brown bell bottoms. In The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo and early direct-to-video movies, he wore a red v-neck and blue bell bottoms.
