If there is one consistent for the past 40 years, it’s that you can turn on TV and find a Scooby-Doo show somewhere. For a show that has the same plot episode after episode, it has a huge appeal and show-biz legs. As great as Scooby and Shaggy were, I always remember thinking that the show didn’t focus enough on Daphne. Scooby and Shaggy got into trouble, ate and ran away from monsters. Fred and Velma solved the case. Daphne was the fanservice character. She seemed like a girl who would have been a cheerleader in high school. She was dressed in purple and pink while Velma was dressed in an unattractive orange. And she taught us all how sexy nylons could be. I can’t really remember any other cartoon character who wore nylons other than her. (They probably were. I just don’t remember.)
Her portrayal wasn’t always the best though as she was constantly getting captured or falling into a trap. They even called her “Danger-Prone” Daphne on the show. Later on the one the shows, Fred and Velma left and Daphne solved the cases.
