Knittingham, who owned the farm, was good friends with Shaggy's mother. The Rogers family came to visit the woman, and that's when the year-old Scooby and three-year-old Shaggy connected for the first time.
Shaggy came over often to see Scooby, and Mumsy, Dadsy, and Mrs. Knittingham promised that when Scooby was old enough, if he wanted to be Shaggy's pet, he could be. By the time Scooby was two, his parents had inherited Doo Manor, the home that had been passed down through the years. Scooby's grandpa had gotten to the point where he couldn't care for himself, or the old house, so the Doos packed up their pups and moved from Mrs.
Knittingham's farm into the old house, along with Scooby's brainy and slightly creepy Uncle Horton. By that time, Scooby had also gained a baby sister, Ruby. Only a few weeks after moving into the house, Scooby pleaded with his parents, asking if he could live with Shaggy, and they agreed.

Scooby-Doo has appeared in a whopping 16 television series, two live-action films, 35 direct-to-DVD movies, 20 video games, 13 comic book series and five stage shows. The formula of four mystery-solving teenagers—Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy along with the titular talking Great Dane—remained mostly intact as the group stumbled their way into pop-culture history.
The genesis of the series was inextricably bound up with the societal upheavals of —in particular, the assassination of Robert F. In the late s, the television and film studio Hanna-Barbera was the largest producer of animated television programming. In what would serve as a turning point in television animation, the three broadcast networks — CBS, ABC and NBC — launched nine new action-adventure cartoons on Saturday morning in the fall of These and other action-adventure series featured non-stop action and violence, with the heroes working to defeat, even kill, a menace or monster by any means necessary.
Cultural anxieties about the effects of media violence on children had increased significantly after March , concurrent with television coverage of the Vietnam War, student protests and riots incited by the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
As historian Charles Kaiser wrote in his book about that pivotal year, the upheaval fueled moral crusades. But it was the assassination of Robert. Kennedy in June that would exile action-adventure cartoons from the Saturday morning lineup for nearly a decade.
