If Velma's glasses fall off, she is 99% guaranteed to run into the villain.

Scooby Doo eats approximately six Scooby Snacks per episode.

Shaggy's Voice
Casey Kasem says that when he was first hired to play Shaggy, series creators Will Hanna and Joe Barbera told him to play the perpetually hungry character as a "hippie".He didn't know what a hippie was suppose to sound like, so he imitated Richard Crenna's squeaky-voiced character on the Eve Arden sitcom, Our Miss Brooks instead.

Casey says no one noticed the connection except for Crenna who now jokingly asks him, Hey, where are my royalties.

Mystery Machine
Although Freddy is almost always behind the wheel - it was Daphne's father that purchased the Mystery Machine.

More Voices
After 33 years, only one original cast member is still voicing the same character. Frank Welker has played Fred Jones from the start and does to this day. (Okay, technically, he had a two-year break when H&B did a pre-teen Scooby version in the late 80s. But still.) Frank is among the hardest working voice actors in the business--his name pops up everywhere. Next time you see a movie where you hear an off-screen cat screech, watch the credits and chances are it's Frank. Among his latest work are the barks and growls of Max in the live-action Grinch film. A few different women have played Daphne, and even more have played Velma. And when Don Messick, voice of Scooby, died on Halloween in 1997 (no mystery there--it was, sadly, Alzheimer's), his role went to Scott Innes.
