Is it time to cut
Is it time to cut Scrappy-Doo some slack? Or does he deserve all the hate that comes his way?
=============================================================
While some characters develop a fandom, others develop a hatedom, and it's difficult to find a cartoon character more maligned and despised than Scooby-Doo's nephew, Scrappy-Doo. The character was introduced to the Scooby-Doo franchise in the late 1970s in an attempt to bolster ratings and save the show from cancellation. It was a bold shake-up and it worked, audiences seemed to respond well to the character and the show's ratings instantly improved. But not everyone was happy with Scrappy, and over the years the pup has been dragged through the mud, being mocked in Cartoon Network commercials, humiliated in other shows, cast as the main villain in the first live-action movie; even fan fiction about his murdered corpse popping up in Miami went viral. Scrappy has even become synonymous with the concept of Jumping the Shark, and his name has been used to refer to characters being introduced to series which have caused fans to unintentionally hate the character. So how did Scrappy-Doo go from savior to villain, and is all this hate justified? Join us now as we look back at the development and the legacy of what has become arguably the most divisive character in the history of Saturday morning cartoons.
