It’s iconic – the green van with groovy artwork on the side and a dog and young teenager who are always mysteriously hungry. Even though the original Scooby Doo is from another generation, almost everyone alive today knows the dog, but why? Why do we love the hunky sleuth, the ginger bombshell, the nerdy know-it-all, and the two goof-offs who always manage to solve the crime independently of everyone else? Here’s why.
See, it all began in 1968, when Fred Silverman (an executive in charge of children’s programming for the CBS network) was looking for a new show that would revitalize the stale Saturday morning schedule.
The first attempt was The Archie Show. The show, based on Bob Montana’s classic comic book “Archie” was successful, but it wasn’t enough. He wanted a kid’s mystery show. So, he hired William Hanna and Joseph Barbera to come up with another show.

However, these 12 musicians – from Lady Gaga and Frank Sinatra to Madonna and Celine Dion – have admitted that they can’t stand their own chart-topping songs. We’ve compiled a list of their reasons why.
James Blunt, “You’re Beautiful”

Celine Dion, “My Heart Will Go On”
Turns out Celine Dion didn’t feel an immediate bond with “My Heart Will Go On” as Jack did with Rose in Titanic. The singer admitted in October 2013 that she wasn’t...

He's young, handsome, wealthy, influential and diplomatic. No wonder Mia Farrow's son is taking the latest rumours in his stride
Age: 25.
Appearance: Blue eyes, angular features, like a young Frank Sinatra.
Lucky for him! Well, ye-es. In a way. You see he's the son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, born in 1987 and originally given the name Satchel.
Ok. But Farrow had in fact once been married to Frank Sinatra.
Right. And she's just told Vanity Fair that even though she divorced him in 1968, he was the great love of her life and: "We never really split up."
I see. So ...

Outrageous! Ol' Blue Eyes always respected wedding vows! He loved marriage so...
