television special starring the cast ofHanna-Barbera 's popularSaturday morning cartoon "Scooby-Doo ". It was originally broadcast on ABC onDecember 13 ,1979 .A musical-based parody of both the by-then infamous "Scooby-Doo" formula and of Hollywood in general, the storyline centered on Shaggy convincing Scooby that both of them deserve better than being stars in what he considers a low-class Saturday morning show, and attempts to pitch a number of potential prime-time shows to network executive "C.J." (voiced by
Rip Torn ), all of which are parodies of then-popular TV shows and movies such as "Superman", "Happy Days ", "Laverne and Shirley ", "The Sound of Music ", and "Charlie's Angels ". Caught in the middle of this entire ordeal are Fred, Daphne, Velma, and also Scooby's loyal Saturday morning fan base; all of whom convince Scooby to come back to his Saturday morning TV show.The special was first released on
VHS byWorldVision Enterprises in the 1980s, and is currently available onDVD .Voice cast
