Trivia
Velma's famous line, "My glasses, I can't see without them!" was not originally scripted for the show. During a table read for the voice artists, Velma's voice-over actress Nicole Jaffe, who was near-sighted as well, lost her glasses and uttered a variation of what became Velma's famous catchphrase. The writers liked the line so much that Velma losing her glasses became one of the show's trademark gags. Velma loses her glasses in the first episode, What a Night for a Knight (1969), but the actual line is first spoken in Decoy for a Dognapper (1969).

Quotes
Velma: There's a very logical explanation for all this.
Shaggy: Quick, tell me.
Velma: The place is haunted.
Shaggy: Thanks a lot.

Alternate versions
The re-run prints that first aired on CBS in 1971 feature standardized opening title music for all first season episodes. A number of the first season episodes feature alternate opening (and/or closing) theme music (see trivia). Excepting prints aired on cable between 1990 and 1998 (which were time-compressed copies of the original broadcast prints, all but the first two missing their laugh tracks), all re-runs of this show use the 1971 prints.

children's TV classic

Four teen friends and their dog encounter supernatural mysteries and always end up solving them. They travel around in their van The Mystery Machine and happen upon these random mysteries. There is the jock Fred, beautiful Daphne, nerdy brain Velma, and hungry slacker Shaggy. Scooby Doo is Shaggy's bumbling dog. The kids bribe him with Scooby snakes. Inevitably, the gang traps a perpetrator hiding behind the supernatural scares.

This is classic children's TV. It is an easy, simple formula. It is super family-friendly. Scooby is fun. Don't expect exceptional plots. Each episode has a similar structure. There is also the groovy theme song.
