  • 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.

The relationship of fantasy football participation with NFL television ratings John A. Fortunato KEYWORDS: ABSTRACT Fantasy Sports, NFL, Television Ratings An estimated 30 million people participate in fantasy football leagues, yet little academic research has been conducted on this topic. While there are many factors that can contribute to the television rating of a sports event, this study asks if fantasy football participation can serve as an additional motivating factor for fans to watch National Football League (NFL) games on television. Results provide some evidence that games with more NFL players starting in a high percentage of fans’ fantasy football leagues have higher Nielsen ratings, although there are differences for the games on NBC vs. ESPN, percentage of starting fantasy players, teams’ combined winning percentage, and closeness of game.
