* {{Fanon}}: Because of when this show came out and the presumed ages of the characters (Velma and Daphne being 15-16 while Shaggy and Fred are 17-18), a popular fan theory for why the group are on the road without adult supervision is that Shaggy and Fred are [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar draft dodgers]].

** At the end "A Night of Fright Is No Delight", a bone on a platter mysteriously floats out to Scooby with no explanation. Again, plenty more real ghosts would later enter the franchise. But since this isn't part of the solution to the mystery, it's not as much of a "betrayal" of the series' original premise as later examples.

* CommonKnowledge: After the Gang unmasks the criminal and explains how they solved the mystery, the criminal ''ALWAYS'' says "And I would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids and your pesky dog!" This line has been used in many Scooby Doo parodies and even used later installments of the Scooby Doo franchise itself. But in the original series, this phrase was never used verbatim (but paraphrased a few times). In addition, there are a number of instances where the criminals don't say ''anything'' after getting caught.
