Steven was a huge Scooby Doo and Josie And The Pussycats fan!
Do any of you guys remember that first season of Scooby Doo when the group weren’t actually a band, but the producers seemed to think that music should be a part of each episode, preferably in the chase scene? And then all the similarly formatted shows that followed along featured bands as the main characters.
And y’know, bands… dancing… eight frames a second animation… Ugly dancing.
The Archies weren’t the kind of band to inspire wild gyrations and all, but wow… Fred and Daphne had some lame moves. Or should I say “Move”, ’cause they only got one each.
And if you think I shouldn’t be lumping ‘Scooby Doo’, ‘Josie and the Pussycats’, ‘The Archies’, and, I dunno, ‘Speed Buggy’ all into the same group, well then, you don’t REALLY remember Saturday Morning Cartoons. Seriously, my kids know the term ‘Saturday Morning Cartoons’, but they have no personal memory of waiting a whole dang week to see any kind of animation outside of a Sugar Frosted Flakes commercial.
