Scrappy Doo is generally considered by
Scooby Doo fans to be what ruined the show. According to the opening
Scooby received a box one day and opened it to find out it was his incredibly annoying
nephew Scrappy Doo. That's right, Scrappy's parents actually
shipped him to Scooby in a
box, which shows they like him just as much as Scooby Doo fans do. Scrappy looked just like you'd expect a
miniature Scooby to look, except Scrappy walked on his
hind legs.
Scrappy premiered in
1979 on the series
Scooby and Scrappy Doo. He would go around with the
gang as they solved
mysteries, replacing
Fred as the character Scooby Doo
fans complain about the most. His catchphrase was
Puppy Power! which he would
exclaim to build
confidence right before heading into
danger. It usually didn't
help much.
Scrappy was voiced by
Don Messick, who also voiced Scooby. He has also done the voices of
Papa Smurf,
Hampton, and was the first voice of
Zorak. So I guess we can
forgive him.
