Two of the most enduring Hanna-Barbera characters, Richie Rich and Scooby-Doo were the stars of 'The Richie Rich, Scooby-Doo Show', which originally aired on ABC. The one-hour program combined several shorts, each featuring either Richie Rich or Scooby-Doo, who starred in their own entertaining adventures.
Originally created by Harvey Comics, Richie Rich, the child of incredibly wealthy parents is the world’s richest kid. He lives in a mansion in his hometown of Richville and has an allowance that is the envy of children everywhere. Richie is a kind and benevolent boy who has the luxury of going on globe-trotting adventures with his faithful dog Dollar, his best buddies Freckles and Gloria, butler Cadbury and robot maid Irona. Professor Keenbeen, director of the Rich Science Center often comes along for the ride, creating wacky inventions that either help or hinder Richie’s exploits.
Scooby-Doo is the beloved, animated mystery-solving canine, who made his original debut on Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! In this incarnation, Scooby-Doo is featured along with Shaggy and Scrappy. As a trio, they travel the world in the Mystery Machine often with comedic outcomes.

Warner Bros. pushes shows online with 2 new Web sites
|
|
Warner Bros. says it's launching two Web sites to capture new ad revenue and a younger generation of viewers.
Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. Television Group says TheWB.com will replay full episodes of shows such as "Friends" and "Smallville" along with made-for-online shows. The site is set to launch in a test format next month.
A second site, KidsWB.com, is aimed at children and debuts Monday. It features animated characters from the Warner Bros. library, which includes Bugs Bunny and Scooby Doo and DC Comics heroes like Batman.
The group says both sites will be supported by ad revenue, with deals already in place with Mattel Inc., McDonald's Corp. and Johnson & Johnson.

Cartoon Cakes
From Universal Orlando Resort in Florida, Food Network Challenge competitors decorate cakes inspired by four of the most popular cartoons in animation history. Watch as Scooby-Doo squares off against Popeye; and Betty Boop's "boo boop be do" goes against the charm of Curious George. All's fun in cartoons and cakes, until you throw a $10,000 prize into the mix--and four top cake artists who don't like to lose.
This episode aired on February 2, 2008.
Mike McCrary of Mike’s Amazing Cakes in Redmond, Washington won. His cake was “Scooby Doo and the Mummy’s Curse” (pictured above). On the show Scooby joined him when his check was presented and he commented that although his daughter would be glad he won that wouldn’t compare to Scooby standing beside him!

Cartoons of All Time

|
Cartoons are a part of every child's life; the medium of learning and entertainment for young people and that animated mini movie that satisfies your every desire. For some persons, as they grew older they lost interest in cartoons, while others just never got tired of them. They have found serenity in watching them, no matter how old they are. I am sure you can recall the name or an episode of your favourite cartoon.
This article was initially written to highlight a Top 10 listing of the overall best cartoons. However, when it was time to collect the nominations for the top 10, mayhem erupted. It became very difficult to list 10 all-time greatest cartoons. The list was 'stretched' to 15, then to 20, then to 25, then to 30.
Click here for a list of the Top cartoons of all time and see where Scooby falls on the list.
