Dog Gonescooby-DOO CREATOR IWAO TAKAMOTO DIED THIS Reading Quiz (Students Must Complete This Box) Student Name Student ID Number Section Teacher Name Class Time (for teachers only) Exam Section Points Awarded True/False/No Information Vocabulary in Context Short Answer Total Dog Gone SCOOBY-DOO CREATOR IWAO TAKAMOTO DIED THIS WEEK, BUT HIS LEGACY LIVES ON. 1. Scooby-Doo creator Iwao Takamoto died in January 2007 at the age of 81. After learning illustration from other inmates at a California internment camp for Japanese-Americans during World War II, Takamoto pursued a career in animation, working for Disney and Hanna-Barbera, and on well- known cartoon shows like The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Cinderella, and Charlotte's Web. But he is best-known for creating Scooby-Doo, who has been called "the most enduringly popular cartoon in TV history." 2. Scooby-Doo is the longest running American animated television series produced for Saturday morning television from 1969 to the present. The series was created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears for Hanna-Barbera Productions, who produced numerous spin-offs and related works until 1997 when they were absorbed into Warner Bros, which has handled production since then. Though the format of the show and the cast (and ages) of characters have varied significantly over the years, the most familiar versions of the show feature a talking Great Dane dog named Scooby- Doo and four teenagers: Fred "Freddie" Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers. 3. These five characters (officially referred to as "Mystery, Inc.") are detectives and drive around the world in a van called the "Mystery Machine.” They solve mysteries involving ghosts and other supernatural forces. At the end of each episode, the supernatural forces turn out to have a rational and logical explanation (usually a criminal trying to scare people away so that they can commit crimes). Later versions of the show featured different supernatural themes and included additional characters, such as Scooby's cousin Scooby-Dum and nephew Scrappy-Doo. 4. Scooby-Doo was originally broadcast on CBS from 1969 to 1976, when it moved to ABC. ABC cancelled the show in 1986, but presented a spin-off, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, from 1988 until 1991. A new Scooby-Doo series, What's New, Scooby-Doo?, aired on the WB Network during the Kids' WB! programming block from 2002 until 2005. The current Scooby-Doo series, Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!, airs Saturday mornings on The CW network. Repeats of the original series, as well as second-run episodes of What's New, Scooby-Doo? are broadcast frequently on the Cartoon Network. 5. Chris Suellentrop, a journalist who studied the Scooby Doo phenomenon, calls Scooby Doo the most enduringly popular cartoon in TV history. The popular TV show was produced for 17 years, making it the longest-running network cartoon ever. Because of syndication, it's never been off the air since it debuted, and it probably never will be. Now it has expanded its empire to the film industry with the release of Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, the second of what will probably be many Scooby movies. In 2002, the first Scooby-Doo movie raked in $54.2 million on its opening weekend in theatres. 6. Many believe that understanding Scooby's durability is easier than explaining it. For years, not even the show's creators at Hanna-Barbera - the first TV animation studio and the inventors of "limited animation," (animation cheap enough for TV-size budgets) - realized the appeal of Scooby-Doo. Instead, The Flintstones, or even The Jetsons, was thought to be the studio's flagship property. 7. The adorable dog star's Q rating tops Bugs Bunny's among kids. A Q rating is a way to measure the familiarity and appeal of a brand, company, celebrity, cartoon character or television show. The higher the Q rating, the more well-known and well thought of the item or person being scored is. Because of Scooby’s popularity, DVD titles consistently hit the best-seller lists and Scooby-licensed video games have been popular since the mid-'90s. In 2000, Scooby-Doo won a mock presidential election held by the Cartoon Network, which still airs an hour-and-a-half of Scooby shows each weekday as part of its "Scooby Universe" package. One key to perhaps understanding Scooby is to realize it has never tried to appeal to adults. It has always considered its goal was to attract little kids. 8. One early hint of the show's hold on children came in February 1971, when the BBC pulled Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! from the air, and 70 Scottish children staged a protest outside the Beeb's Scotland headquarters. A BBC employee told the Scottish Daily Record that the protest remains the biggest at that BBC location's history. 9. Still it is difficult to say exactly why the show has had such a long-standing appeal. Jim Millan, the writer-director of Scooby-Doo in StageFright—Live on Stage (a touring theatrical production of Scooby-Doo) tried to come up with an explanation about the show's popularity. "They like Scooby's enthusiasm for life," he theorized to the Baltimore Sun. "It represents a youthful, optimistic America, where you can solve a problem with good intentions." To the Toronto Star, Millan compared Scooby-Doo to 19th-century European commedia dell'arte, with its stock characters and costumes. "Scooby and Shaggy love to eat," Millan said. To Nashville's Tennessean, Millan said of Scooby, "He symbolizes youth, in a way." 10. Maybe Scooby's appeal makes sense when you compare it to the rest of kids' TV. Most children's shows try to stuff a moral message down the audience's throat. But the moral code of Scooby-Doo permeates the entire enterprise without you ever noticing it. The Washington Post's Hank Stuever concisely elucidated the "Scooby worldview" when the first live-action movie came out: "Kids should meddle, dogs are sweet, life is groovy, and if something scares you, you should confront it." What needs to be explained about that? Adapted from: http://www.slate.com/id/2157397/?GT1=9010 True/False/No Information Read the text and answer the questions.

  • In This Episode of the Flintstones, the Main Characters Are Shown to Seek Martial Arts Lessons
    In this episode of the Flintstones, the main characters are shown to seek martial arts lessons. The judo master in the scene is depicted as a Japanese man who wears a sinister-looking smile throughout the scene. He offers the characters lessons at supposedly good prices. As he rattles off the offers by ensuring them that they could get "silver medal lessons" for "[a] big bargain, big bargain" and "for a few more measly dollars ... gold medals, diamond medals...," his pronunciations are exaggeratedly shown to be wrong by a mix up between r's and l's and by an obvious difference in the emphasis on syllables. The man's speech is set apart from the other characters' by juxtaposing his differently accented words to the others' SAE pronunciation. Also, the Flintstones and their friends bowed while imitating his accent as if attempting to fit that man's mannerisms. However, this can be seen as making light of the man's characteristics and manners as if they are silly. In this scene, the judo master portrays prevalent stereotypes about Asians. The man's inability to enunciate r's and l's reflect the struggle that many people face in differentiating between r's and l's in English because their native tongues do not make the same distinction. More importantly, the judo master's speech is used to indicate a lack of intelligence, as evidence by Fred's comment, "What does 'et cetera, et cetera' mean in Japanese? Sucker?" which is followed by Barney's response in a tone mocking the Japanese man's, "Oh, that's for sure!" Furthermore, prior to that, Fred had thrown in an unintelligible word in an attempt to imitate the man's Japanese accent.

Dwyer has called “pop nostalgia,” a set of critical affective responses to representations of previous eras used to remake the present or to imagine corrective alternatives to it. Longings for the Fifties, Dwyer observes, were especially key to America’s self-fashioning during the Reagan era (2015). Moving from these premises, I turn to anachronisms, aesthetic resonances, and intertextual references that point to, as Mark Fisher would have it, both a lost past and lost futures (Fisher 2014, 2-29) in the episodes of the Hanna-Barbera animated series The Jetsons produced for syndication between 1985 and 1987. A product of Cold War discourse and the early days of the Space Age, the series is characterized by a bidirectional rhetoric: if its setting emphasizes the empowering and alienating effects of technological advancement, its characters and its retrofuture aesthetics root the show in a recognizable and desirable all-American past.

  • Ragnarok Worksheet
    Ragnarok 231 RAGNAROK Also known as “the Twilight of the Gods,” Ragnarok, the Norse Doomsday, is the ultimate battle between good and evil—an event similar to the apocalypse of the Bible. According to the Norse myths, Ragnarok will contain a number of specific events, which are related here. But is it the end of the world—or just the beginning of a new one? hat tidings are to be told of Ragnarok? First, there W will come a winter called the Fimbul‐winter, where snow will drive from all quarters, the frost will be so severe, and the winds so keen and piercing that there will be no joy to be found— not even in the sun. There will be three such winters in succession without any intervening summer. Great wars will rage over all the world. Brothers will slay each other for the sake of gain, and no one will spare his father or mother in that carnage. Then a great supernatural tragedy will happen: The two wolves of darkness that have pursued the sun and moon since the beginning of time will finally catch their prey. One wolf will devour the sun, and the second wolf will devour the moon. The stars shall be hurled from heaven. Then it shall come to pass that the earth and the mountains will shake so violently that trees will be torn up by the roots, the mountains will topple down, and all bonds and fetters will be broken and snapped. Loki and the Fenrir‐wolf will be loosed. The sea will rush over the earth, for the Midgard Serpent will writhe in rage and seek to gain the land.

  • The Supernatural World of the Kawaiisu by Maurice Zigmond1
    The Supernatural World of the Kawaiisu by Maurice Zigmond1 The most obvious characteristic at the supernatural world of the Kawaiisu is its complexity, which stands in striking contrast to the “simplicity” of the mundane world. Situated on and around the southern end of the Sierra Nevada mountains in south - - central California, the tribe is marginal to both the Great Basin and California culture areas and would probably have been susceptible to the opprobrious nineteenth century term, ‘Diggers’ Yet, if its material culture could be described as “primitive,” ideas about the realm of the unseen were intricate and, in a sense, sophisticated. For the Kawaiisu the invisible domain is tilled with identifiable beings and anonymous non-beings, with people who are half spirits, with mythical giant creatures and great sky images, with “men” and “animals” who are localized in association with natural formations, with dreams, visions, omens, and signs. There is a land of the dead known to have been visited by a few living individuals, and a netherworld which is apparently the abode of the spirits of animals - - at least of some animals animals - - and visited by a man seeking a cure. Depending upon one’s definition, there are apparently four types of shamanism - - and a questionable fifth. In recording this maze of supernatural phenomena over a period of years, one ought not be surprised to find the data both inconsistent and contradictory. By their very nature happenings governed by extraterrestrial fortes cannot be portrayed in clear and precise terms. To those involved, however, the situation presents no problem. Since anything may occur in the unseen world which surrounds us, an attempt at logical explanation is irrelevant.

  • Will This Manhattan Projects Original Artwork Cliffhanger Make Another
    COMICS COSPLAY TV/FILM GAMES SUBMIT CGC Search … Will This Manhattan Projects Original Artwork Cliffhanger Make Another Big Splash? Posted by Mark Seifert March 19, 2014 0 Comments Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr Email Reddit [The Manhattan Projects #18 has been out for a couple weeks, but still — if you haven’t read this issue and plan to, you might want to skip this post for now.] Several years into the digital era for both comics reading and comics production, I still love to look at original comic art up close. The look and feel of the art board, the subtle texture of the ink, the faint traces of changes and corrections… it all adds up to a little extra insight into the time and circumstances behind the comics book’s creation. We’ve mentioned a bunch of noteworthy original art sales here in recent times — from that awe-inspiring Golden Age Action Comics #15 cover by Fred Guardineer, to this Silver Age Fantastic Four #55 page by Jack Kirby, to this Bronze Age classic Amazing Spider- Man #121 cover by John Romita Sr, down to the current record holder for a piece of American comic book art with this Amazing Spider-Man #328 cover by Todd McFarlane. And increasingly, original art sales from much more recent comics are turning heads as well. It’s probably no surprise that Skottie Young original art is highly sought after, or that Walking Dead original art — even panel pages — can command some eye- popping prices. But modern comic art collectors have broadened their interests to many other artists and titles of quality in recent times, such as this Pia Guerra Y: The Last Man panel page that recently went for $1000.

There, his adoptive father taught him about electronics and computer chips in their garage. In school, we was often so bored that the teacher had to bribe him to get work done.

  • Watch Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporate
    Watch scooby doo mystery incorporate Continue A cartoon that has been around for fifty years should feel that it belongs to every generation that has grown up watching it. But perhaps the 90s kids, with their Cartoon Network screentime, can put a little higher on the claim to Scooby Doo and his ghostbusting gang, Mystery Inc. I often feel sorry for the younger lot who never got to experience a good CN in the past, and thus understand why the incredibly strange team of four teen Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy-and-The Great Danes who could speak was such a big deal. By sounding condescending, I offer a brief description of the original series, Scooby Dao, Where Are You?, which was written by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, and produced by Hannah- Barbera Productions. Four teenagers and a dog pile up in a van, christened Mystery Car, and solve... Take wild guesses... Secrets! Now, while these mysteries can begin as supernatural, with ghosts and vampires and monsters creating chaos, they have shown that people with sinister motives are at their core. And often as the mask gets taken down by real monsters, criminals will say: I would've got to get away with it if it weren't for these interventions/blown up by the kids and this dog! It may seem pretty simple right now, all this CID/CSI-in-cartoon-format for kids concept, but back then, Scooby Dao was joyride like no other. We were at a time in our lives when the internet wasn't around with YouTube videos debunking ghost myths.
