''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' is about the exploits of four teenagers and their Great Dane named [[Scooby-Doo (character)|Scooby-Doo]] who usually happen to walk into a mystery usually involving the exaggerated crime of a criminal (who can be anything between a real-estate developer or jewel thief), who tries to cover up his misdeeds by dressing up as a ghoulish monster. Clues are left in its wake, which the kids (dubbed [[Mystery Incorporated]] in later incarnations) find and put together, leading to the discovery of who the culprit is, which the local authorities are unable to do themselves. A large part of the premise of the series is the bungling of Scooby and his owner, [[Shaggy Rogers]], who inevitably run into and accidentally capture the monster in one of [[Fred Jones]]'s intricately devised traps, despite trying to do everything to avoid it.
