A title like Scooby Foo Where are You. Suggests that Scooby is always missing which isn't true. I think Scooby only exists as something Shaggy either hallunates or pretends is real. This would explain the title.

[[WMG: The show is set in the midst of an economic collapse.]]
''Website/{{Cracked}}'' [[http://www.cracked.com/article_19496_6-classic-kids-shows-secretly-set-in-nightmarish-universes.html came up with this first.]]

Most of the bad guys that Mystery, Inc. deal with are geniuses able to create realistic monster costumes, project full-scale holograms and carve out high-tech hideouts in abandoned mineshafts, and many of them had impressive skills before they turned to crime -- in the original run, for example, three were [=PhDs=], and two were lawyers. Yet their motivations usually involve money, finding work, getting revenge on their bosses who fired them, or getting revenge on robots, the quintessential job stealers. Plus, there's the fact that seemingly every area in the ''Scooby-Doo'' universe -- ski resorts, amusement parks, mansions, airfields -- looks deserted and dilapidated. The setting of ''Scooby-Doo'' is a dystopia where the economy has collapsed and skilled workers are forced to turn to crime in order to make a living.

Plus, there's the fact that the show first premiered at the end of TheSixties, the tail end of America's postwar "golden years", and is most associated with TheSeventies, the age of economic malaise.
* Or, [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation the Mystery Inc. Gang]] are purposely seeking out locations that are suffering economically and have a high likelihood of producing the kind of desperate criminal behavior that creates the show's average villain.

It would provide a non-meta explanation for why [[LimitedAnimation it just stands there]] while Shaggy is provoking it with his whip and chair, ignoring his commands. We know that the Ghost Clown can hypnotize animals, because he does it to Scooby even ''before'' he'd spied on the gang enough to realize Scooby is a TalkingAnimal. He didn't actually intend for Simba to ''eat'' Shaggy, just to make everyone (Shaggy included) think they were all in mortal danger despite having revived Scooby and Daphne successfully. So he commanded the lion to stand there and snarl until he had his cage all to himself again, ''then'' sent Shaggy into it with an ominous command to ensure he'd flee for his life once the Clown's whistle woke him up.

They both live in expensive looking houses. It is never mentioned why or how they got their wealth. The Kingstons have their own mauseleum. Both of these are indicators of having a lot of money. It is likely they are both mob families and that the Swami shop is a front for money laundering. The "Swami" isn't actually a psychic but committing fraud by laundering money under the disguise of a swami shop.

We see Mr. Greenway appear in an episode of Josie and the Pussycats. The only problem is, Mr. Greenway should be in jail. I think it is likely that that Mr. Greenway is the brother of the one in this series.

His clothing remarks seem to suggest that he does not actually perform black magic and conned the kids into thinking this is what caused it. Also if you look at the skeleton that waved goodbye it is plugged in. Many of the other things in his home are likely theatrics and it is also likely he profits off people's beliefs that he performs black magic or is a mystic. If this is true than it is some FridgeBrilliance on the writer's part.
