Scooby-Doo! The lovable, mischievous gang of four friends who solve mysteries and have a blast doing it. Here's the backstory:

**The Original Gang**

In 1960, the creators of the popular TV show "Mystery House" wanted to create a new type of mystery show that would appeal to kids. They drew inspiration from the classic detective stories of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie, but with a fresh twist: four friends who work together to solve mysteries.

The original gang consisted of:

1. **Buddy (aka "The Boy"):** The curious and adventurous leader of the group. He was always getting into trouble and loved solving puzzles.
2. **Daphne (aka "The Girl"):** The clever and analytical one, who often came up with creative solutions to problems.
3. **Rufus (aka "The Kid"):** The youngest member of the gang, Rufus was always eager to help his friends and learn from them. He had a big heart and a quick wit.
4. **Ginny (aka "The Girl with the Golden Hair"):** The charming and outgoing one, who often took center stage in their adventures.

**The First Adventure: "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!"**

In 1960, the show premiered on ABC as a pilot episode of "Mystery House." The gang was introduced to the world of mystery solving, with Buddy as the main character. The show's first adventure, "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!", followed the gang as they investigated a mysterious disappearance at a haunted mansion.
