CLUE CLUB BUGGY VS MYSTERY MACHINE VAN
In this corner: Clue Club Buggy
Clue Club is a 30-minute Saturday morning animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and broadcast on CBS from August 14, 1976 to September 3, 1977.
Similar in format to Hanna-Barbera’s successful Scooby-Doo, the show centers around four adolescent friends who open the title’s private investigation agency out of Larry’s suburban residence. They are Larry (19), Pepper (18), D.D. (16) and Dottie (13). They solve mysteries with the help of their two talking hounds, Woofer and Whimper. The dogs only talked to each other and the camera, they were not understood by the human characters. Clue Club mysteries usually involved investigating bizarre crimes such as a movie director vanishing or a two-ton statue disappearing into thin air. Their relationship to the police was closer than most of Hanna-Barbera’s variations of the formula, with the local Sheriff often requesting their assistance on cases as well as making arrests at their conclusion.
And in this Corner: Mystery Machine Van
Each of these episodes features Scooby and the four teenage members of Mystery, Inc.—Fred, Shaggy, Daphne and Velma—arriving at a location in the Mystery Machine, a van painted with psychedelic colors and flower power imagery. Encountering a ghost, monster, or other ostensibly supernatural creature terrorizing the local populace, they decide to investigate. The kids split up to look for clues and suspects while being chased at turns by the monster.
Eventually, the kids come to realize the ghost and other paranormal activity is actually an elaborate hoax, and—often with the help of a trap designed by Fred—they capture the villain and unmask him. Revealed as a flesh and blood crook trying to cover up crimes by using the ghost story and costume, the criminal is arrested and taken to jail, often repeating something nearly identical to “… and I would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn’t been for you meddling kids!”
So go ahead and have some fun.
