History YMMV / ScoobyDoo

* VindicatedByHistory: Scrappy-Doo's relentless mockery, as expected for being the inspiration for TheScrappy, is slowly starting to dissipate, to the point that some people want to see him implemented into the show again outside of being the butt of the joke in various cameos. In hindsight, it's generally regarded that he helped prolong the show and the decline in quality was largely outside of the existence of the character, and even those who find his antics obnoxious in his early appearances warmed up to him when they watch later series with him such as ''WesternAnimation/The13GhostsOfScoobyDoo'' and the three made-for-TV movies.

** Ironically, Scrappy is what saved the show from cancellation way back in 1979. The writers did work to save Fred, Velma, and Daphne (in the form of giving them spotlight episodes such as "The Night Ghoul of Wonderworld" for Velma, and "I left my neck in San Fransisco" which has [[spoiler: Daphne being a victim of a frame-up by the monster of the week]] and Fred and Velma to carry the investigation B-Plot themselves.) Without Scrappy, they would have faded. With Scrappy, their show was able to survive and they were able to be preserved and return at a later date with stronger characterization (Such as ''Pup''). And the success of that new incarnation of Scooby-Doo is likely what has kept the franchise going on for some 40 years. It doesn't help that nearly '''everyone''' hates the poor character as if he had [[Franchise/StarWars destroyed an entire planet]] despite the fact he was only created by mandate. To put how much people don't like him is ... an understatement.

** Daphne is often believed to have always been the rich member of the Scooby Gang. While it is true that ever since WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo, she has been consistently shown to come from a wealthy family, before then, her wealth status was actually unknown, but there wasn't any indication that she was any richer than her friends, implying that she came from their same economic bracket.

* NewerThanTheyThink: Frank Welker is often misattributed of having voiced Scooby-Doo since the original series in 1969. While he has in fact voiced Fred since the beginning, he did not start voicing the titular dog until 2002, starting with ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo''.
