Victor, your knowledge of pulp fiction is second to none. Every video I watch I'm struck by your attention to detail. Memories come flooding into my consciousness from the deep recesses of my youth.

Speed Buggy only had 16 episodes? Holy Hannah! I loved that show. Prost!

I was born in 72, so all these shows were in heavy rotation when I sat down with a bowl of BooBerry on Saturday! After Scooby, Clue Club was my favorite! It just was a cut above the others! Cavey ran a close second because he was so cool!

I watched Captain Caveman and Clue Club. I loved both so much as a kid that I bought the DVDs when I grew up!

My favorite was The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan. Most of the stereotypes covered by a group of siblings and a cute dog, but this time they actually had a parent.

Im an elder Millennial and I remember Jabber Jaw, Josie, and Speed Buggy the most.. Back when Cartoon Network played 60s cartoons

Funniest Part of this that it was Hanna Barbera ripping itself off not some competitor.

I was born in 66. I lived for Saturday mornings in the 70’s! Clue Club was my favorite because it seemed a little smarter and more engaging than the other cartoons. I tried solving the crimes and it gave the viewer clues and let us try to solve it.

The Hardy boys was the first cartoon to feature a black character 1969, a year before "Josie and the Pussycats" 🐈 😻 🐈‍⬛ 🐱

Fangface even had two of his adventures turned into novelizations.

Scooby got a new life in 80s dorm rooms. That was our go to cartoon in the afternoon when we were blazing up.

I remember all of these cartoons. I loved them all. Scooby-Doo and Clue Club were my favorites. Does anyone remember the Chan Clan? I know it wasn't a Scooby-Doo spinoff but they has music and they solved cases...

Captain Caveman was part of the Flintstone universe.

Anything old such as old cartoons is right up my alley

lol Jabber Jaws! Most wonderful Shark you ever saw! Show cross with Josie and Doo.

I absolutely loved Jabberjaw! My grandfather used to take me to the matinee (usually at the high school auditorium). It always had the Three Stooges, Bugs Bunny then the movie. Curly always made me laugh, so Jabberjaw was big on association. The other one was Grape Ape. Yeah... yeah

I'm a boomer born in 63 and I watched a lot of those cartoons back in the day. Good times.

Josie and The Pussycats. "Long tails and ears for hats!".

The Saturday Morning Cartoon Experience!! Gone but not forgotten!!

I was born in 76. I know and love Scooby-Do because it was one of cartoons I watched on Saturday mornings in the 80s.

You can probably thank 80s rerun blocks like "The USA Cartoon Express" for cementing some of those shows in the nostalgia consciousness. Clue Club especially benefited from airing there. I think Buford and the Galloping Ghost also ran on USA Network as well. Of course, Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels along with Blue Falcon and Dynomut are my personal faves! :D

Saturdays were Utlraman, Superfriends, Scooby, and a local station did a run of George of the Jungle/Super Chicken/Tom Slick. Then it was time to go out and play. Josie, Speed Buggy, Funky Phantom, and the rest were syndicated for after school viewing, really wrecking my homework…

My favorite was Clue Club as well with Jabberjaw as a very close second. I was born in 78’ but I remember watching these and many other Hanna Barbera classics on the USA Cartoon Express! I always thought Inch High Private Eye was a bit of a Mystery Inc clone too. Sure there were teens Lori and Gator and a dog Braveheart but the gimmick was Inch himself who was also uncle to Lori. Another great episode that brings back lots of nostalgia feels!

Clue Club was the best Scooby clone. I loved it. Also, that car on Shmoo reminds me of the car Urkel drove on Family Matters.

You should have mentioned Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog. They're still Scooby clones even if they're not the stars of the show.

Fun fact about Captain Caveman: Andy Heyward worked on that show. If that name sounds familiar, in 1982, he moved on to DiC Audiovisuel - A then unknown (outside France and Japan) media company with several commercials, 4 short segment cartoons and two French Japanese Anime Co-productions under their belt. After moving on to DiC, Andy would work with its founder Jean Chalopin and key animator Bruno Bianchi to create Inspector Gadget #themoreyouknow

I like almost all of them but, the OG Scooby Doo is and will always be my favorite. I love Josie & the Pussycats, Jabber Jaw & the one with with the orange buggy with blue eyes. 😊 Ahh Saturdays in the morning & cereal, how many memories and joyful times we had. 😁

He forgot The Amazing Chan & the Chan Clan. Were they (at least the kids) the first animated non-stereotypical Asians? They had a band, and they had that pet that I couldn't tell if it was a dog or a cat.

I was lucky enough to be born in 1966, so I got to see these 70s classics from the start. As my realm of memory starts in about 71, I must have seen Scooby Do Where are you in re-runs. I saw Josie and Funky Phantom in first run. There's something about stuff I watched in the early 70s that hits my sweet spot. So yea I'd say the Pussycats and Funky Phantom are my favourite Scooby clones by far. I too never saw Fang Face, that and the New Smoo, I guess co-inside with my getting older, so although I still watched Flintstones series made around this time, the last two were off my radar.

You mean James Garner's "Rockford Files." Rock Hudson was "MacMillan and Wife"

Bravo! Although not a copycat of Scooby Doo. But "The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan" gets an honorable mention solving mysteries and even being a band.

So many I remember! Even “Fangface”! I loved watching Josie and the Pussycats, but my favorite might have to be Speed Buggy. To this day I’m known to pipe up with a “rooma-zoom-zoom!” when driving. That and Sid and Marty Krofft’s Wonderbug were my introduction to the dune buggy.

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness." This was just the video I've been waiting for! ❤️💚💙

I did love Captain Caveman and I do have a vague memory of Fangface. Strange, until you mentioned it, I would not have remembered it.

I remember most of these. Scooby was always a little scary for me but I watched it because my big brother did, too. Josie was my favorite!

My personal favorites: Scooby Doo, Josie & The Pussycats, The Funky Phantom, Speed Buggy, and Clue Club. I actually didn’t see Butch Cassidy until the late ‘80s, when USA aired it on their Cartoon Express compilation show. My least favorites: Jabberjaw (at least until I got older and watched the reruns), the space-age treatment of Josie and the Partridge Family, and Captain Caveman. Thanks for bringing back some great childhood memories. 😊👍🏾

I watched all of these at various times when I was growing up in the '70s. Some more faithfully than others. I really liked both Speed Buggy and Clue Club, and wished they would have gotten more seasons for both.

I remember just a few of these that you talked about. There is one that I remember from when I was little around 5 maybe 6 and while not really a Scooby-Doo clone it was about a group that solved mysteries. "The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan" from 1972-73. I recently picked up the on-demand DVD set, and I still get a kick out of it!

I loved the different animation of Josie & The Pussycats; I've never even heard of about 1/2 the others!

I loved Butch and The Sundance Kids! And my father was always telling me "Thats not Butch Cassidy! Butch Cassidy was an outlaw!"

All of these cartoons were created by Hanna-Barbera and had either a dog or a cat in the show even the Harlem Globetrotters had a cartoon from H-B which is what I grew up watching Thanks. 🇺🇲📺📺🇺🇲

Fantastic content gen xperience! These cartoons were an integral part of my childhood growing up in the Uk during the 1970's! The 1970's were a wonderful time! Thank you. Love & respect, from your Nigerian brother, over here in the UK.

My favs: Scooby doo, clue club, valley of the dinosaurs, speed buggy, hong kong phooey, great grape ape, jabberjaw, josie and the pussycats and Godzilla.

I say Captain Caveman and teen Angels are the best Scooby-Clone.

Scooby-Doo itself was essentially a clone-- characters based on those from the sitcom, "The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis"... except they added a dog.

These were all Sat. AM. Sundays were only Davey & Goliath 🙏🏻 Maybe Gumby & Pokey. But during the week we would run home to Paris @ cold call. Cut around those tracks 🚂

All of them were awesome

Interesting alternate Cartoon series attempts back then at Scooby Doo. Herculoids, a cool series. I haven't gotten a chance to see some of these yet. Thanks. Scooby Doo's horror theme remained consistent for that franchise thankfully after all the series made, in that they most times didn't span out into just regular crimes or non-horror mysteries.

My favourite was The Funky Phantom. It was hilarious, well I thought so anyway. Im 60 now. Was 8 when I first saw the Funky Phantom. Blonde April was my very first girl crush❤. Then 3 years later I met a girl buddy who looked just like her!! She was my first girlfriend. Her name was Sharon, and for a while,we were inseperable. Sweet times.😢

The flute with the reel to reel echo was the signature sound of the pussycats.

As a kid, my favourites out of these Scooby copy cats were 'The New Shmoo' and 'Captain Caveman'. I have to say that I absolutely loved Scrappy Doo, when they introduced him to 'Scooby Doo'.

These all my favorite cartoons I remember the 70's I watched them when I was young

I remember a few years ago when there was a movie about how Daphne and Velma met before meeting Scooby and the others. A movie I'd love to see is how the Teen Angels Brenda, Dee Dee, and Taffy met before they found Capt Caveman.

Funny… I watched every one of these shows except Butch Cassidy. Loved them all! Guess that’s where I got my fascination with mysteries! Cartoons and then the Hardy Boys! 😉

Great rundown on the original Scooby Doo series and the following cartoons patterned after them. Most I remember, but some, like Fangface, I don't. Interesting how the Scooby Doo characters were copied in the other shows, not only in personality, but looks, such as Shaggy and Tinker. Some, like Jabberjaw, I thought were just too silly. Have you thought of doing a series about animated shows from the mid to late 1960s. Some of those have been released on DVD, but some haven't, like Hot Wheels. Sky Hawks, and The Cattanooga Cats.

I remember ALL of these. Clearly, I watched way too much TV as a kid!

In the UK (IIRC) we only got Fangface, New Shmoo, Captain Caveman (possibly the best and the one that entered the cultural zeitgeist), Goober and the Ghost Chasers, The Funky Phantom and Jabberjaw and only CC was run on repeatedly over the next decade or so. I like the titles to Butch Cassidy, the animation and art seems a step up from other show intros of the time, some rotoscoping going on? And did I imagine a number of crossovers at the time? I'm sure Scooby met the team from Goobers at one point.

One of my favorite Scooby Doo clones was, "The Amazing Chan and The Chan Clan". Yes, I know.... I'm a horrible person.

THEY DONT MAKE THESE LIKE THIS ANY MORE SADLY❤😢

Clue club was definitely my favorite!

Loved Josie and the pussey cats

Hanna-Barbera poked fun at how many times they copied themselves with this genre on the show Laff-a-lympics. The Scooby-doobies team would often feature characters from the many different H.B. Scooby clones.

The good old days!

Hello there! I just discovered your channel. Great job on analyzing all these cartoons. One of my friends once told me that, in his opinion at least, the cartoon Meatballs & Spaghetti from the early 1980s was also a late addition to the emulators of Scooby-Doo. Meatballs & Spaghetti were a husband-and-wife team (matching their names, a big rotund long-haired guy and his hot blond thin wife) who were in a touring rock band with a dog playing the drums. The dog acted as the comic relief character in most episodes. Their vehicle was a mobile home, or RV, as they say, in which they travelled from town to town. The show was in re-runs several times in the 1990s and into the '00s in my area. It used the rock band trope and had a music video once per episode much like Jem had later.

Just watched the video, and I enjoyed it. Clue Club has really grown on me over the years...mainly because Woofer and Wimper were the comic relief, and I kinda sorta maybe had a bit of a thing for Dottie. Dottie is my absolute favorite in Clue Club because she's sassy and spunky, but the only thing they really did wrong in the show is have the older kids act as jerks to Dottie, but its understandable, because in that line of work, you make enemies, so that was their way of protecting Dottie.

So many great cartoons. One of my favorites was Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch.

The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan was a Scooby Doo Clone. I was surprised Clue Club had only one season. It was pretty popular!

Without a doubt my all-time favorite was Captain Caveman. Cavey and Hong Kong Fooey were my top two favorites.

I loved Jabber Jaw, Drac Pack, Speed Buggy, and all of them!

I didn’t know that! Curly the voice for Jabber-Jaws! Lol fun-learning things

"Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery That Mediocrity Can Pay To Greatness." That is the whole quote.

This is one of your best videos yet..❤

First time seeing the GEN Xperience…noice! All the dune buggy ‘toons remind me of the ‘live action’ cartoon Wonderbug. Loved that show so much, I convinced my parents to get vanity plates for our convertible vw bug. Good times.

In addition to Casey Kasem voicing both Shaggy Rogers and Alexander Cabot, the former often said “zoinks” while the latter often said “yoinks”.

CCC Clue Club Clan

I remember scooby from when i first came to this country, along with flintstones and gumby it is some of my earliest memories of america. My fav of the clones was funky phantom which did break the pattern a little since the two guys-both voices by mickey dolenz, were constantly squabbling over the girl.

Completely agree with you about Clue Club. Definitely my favorite of the ones you mentioned. I watched it during the 80's on USA network's Cartoon Express. Woofer and Wimper were a great duo, and I liked all the kids. The mysteries were pretty fun to try and figure out. Also love the theme song.

I wanted to wear a costume just like Josie & the Pussycats!

Just came across this video and your channel. Love it. Subscribed as soon as the video ended. Born in 1967. Scooby Doo has always been my all-time favorite cartoon character. All the cartoons you mentioned I've watched, except for Butch Cassidey and the Sundance Kids. I've heard of it but never watched it. Several I own on DVD with more DVD purchases in the future. Of those listed, Josie and the Pussycats (and in Outer Space) would have to be my favorites. Looking forward to exploring your channel. Thanx for the retro fun!

Scooby-doo and these other clones need the ultimate crossover.

I would love to see some of these “Scooby-Doo clones” get revival shows! Especially Captain Caveman & the Teen Angels, Speed Buggy, Fangface and maybe even Jabberjaw

Clue Club, Captain Caveman and Jabberjaw are the best ❤❤❤❤

I never thought twice about the color of anyones skin while watching cartoons

I take that you've seen the Mystery Incorporated episode titled "Mystery Solving State Club Finals"? So many of those Scooby Doo clone cartoons mentioned in your vid have prominent roles in that episode, it's the only reason I know half of the character featured here!

Great video, I remember the most of those shows, I was lucky to see the Misteries Cartoon Sundays on the Colombian Cartoon Network during the 90s, By the way, there are 2 shows that You maybe forgot: The Clan Chan, a show about a Chinese Detective and his 8 sons and daughters solving misteries, The Plastic Man Show: The adventure and comedy show of the DC Superheroe solving misteries and facing villains teaming-up with the gorgeous Wendy and the Bad Luck Hula-Hula, Also there was another Hanna-Barbera cartoon of Casper the Friendly Ghost teaming-up with 2 young female police officers in the outer space.

Crazy how many teen crime buster cartoons there was. You could also include The Amazing Chan Clan to the list.

Used to get up early Saturday morning just to watch the Super Friends and School House Rock

Clue Club was also my favorite of the clones. David Joliffe who voiced Larry had a sexy voice. And Wimper and Woofer were quite funny.

I love any black old-fashioned characters ❤

I still remember "wait till you Father gets home" but my favorites was Pink Panther, The Archies and Mighty Mouse and loved those Beatles.

All of them were quite entertaining

Out of all the Scooby-Doo clones Josie & the pussycats was the 1 i loved the most. I always thought that Alexander was related 2 Shaggy & Alan was related 2 Fred. I also loved Speed Buggy

GOOBER AND THE GHOST CHASERS was up against STAR TREK: THE ANIMATED SERIES. 'Nuff said. I'm afraid that, at our house at least, Goober was invisible from day one... ;)

I remember every single one of these except Clue Club. I have no memory of that show at all.

The writer should've given Goober apparition abilities allowing him to walk through solid objects, flight, levitation, sixth sense, projecting ectoplasm blasts out of his eyes, and more!

Love these videos, what a trip down memory lane. Being from the UK we didn’t get every cartoon you list here. I was aware of Josie but don’t recall it airing here, not during the 80’s anyway. I certainly remember Fangface, Goober and Captain Caveman. Others which kinda clone Scooby but I suspect are 80’s rather than 70’s are Fonz and the happy days gang, Pole Position, Plastic Man, Hong Kong Phooey, Inspector Gadget, Denver the last dinosaur, Gem and the holograms, Godzilla, Sport Billy

This was a very FUN video. My generation. Subscribed!

Because most of these aired several years before I was born or only a few years afterwards, I didn't get to see any of these cartoons until they came on in re-runs Weeknights and Sunday mornings on The USA Cartoon Express when throughout the '80s and then a few more of them on Cartoon Network in the late '90s when I was in college. Josie & The Pussycats was the only one I got to see in re-runs on Saturday mornings. I never watched a full episode of Shmoo or Fangface, so I can't make any judgement on either of those. My favorite show among the Scooby-Doo clones that I HAVE SEEN on this list, is a tie between Clue Club and Jabberjaw because I felt they each took the whole mystery-solving adventure trope into a more creative direction with intriguing stories and characters. At this point, I wouldn't mind if Warner Bros animation were to take a break from trying to update Scooby or The Looney Tunes for awhile and reboot Clue Club instead.

Clue Club was my favorite of the ‘also rans’. Wish we had a chance to see Dottie get old enough to go out on adventures without using Woofer and Wimper as excuses to get to a crime scene. 😉

I remember liking fang face and loving captain caveman. His battle cry could be heard on many a playground: Cap-taaaan Caaaaaave Maaaaannnn!!!!
