Scooby Goes Hollywood

Scooby Goes Hollywood (later released on video as Scooby-Doo Goes Hollywood) is an hour-long prime-time television special starring the cast of Hanna-Barbera's popular Saturday morning cartoon, Scooby-Doo.

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. They both attempt to pitch a number of potential prime-time shows to network executive "C.J.". All of their ideas 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. When the Mystery Inc. team is worried for Scooby, they have a flashback of when he was a puppy and sing about his adventures. In the end, Scooby's loyal Saturday morning fan base arrives; all of whom convince Scooby to come back to his Saturday morning TV show.
