Sorry for scrapping the barrel today, I promise the next review will be something meatier, but today we look at a shameless Scooby Doo copy, Goober and the Ghost Chasers.

Goober and the Ghost Chasers is about a group of teenagers and their talking dog solving spooky mysteries, the difference between this one and Scooby Doo is that they often meet real Ghosts that help solve the mysteries along with technology many years before Ghostbusters and the gimmick is that Goober can turn invisible when he's scared of ghosts. It didn't run for very long and sort of came and went.
As much as you want to complain about the lack of cartoons in the last 15 years it's nothing compared to what the 70s had to put up with, the strict rules on broadcasting in cartoons meant that very few things were allowed on tv so the 70s were packed full of self indulgent celebrity cartoons, cartoon remakes of popular sitcoms at the time and several different takes on Scooby Doo with Goober and the Ghost Chasers being the most blatant of the shameless copies next to the likes of the Funky Phantom and Inch High Private Eye and you can even argue that Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels along with Josie and the Pussycats relied heavily on the same formula.
Bottom line is, the 00s are gold compared to the 70s so I wouldn't complain.
