You’ve heard Buffy’s friends being referred to often enough as the ‘Scooby Gang’, do you remember the real Scooby gang? Well here’s the lowdown and, just for fun the comparison. The original gang were a group of teenagers and their dog who made up Mystery, Inc. They cruised the nation in their van, trying to make ends meet by solving mysteries. They also liked to run from various ghosts and monsters with a groovy song playing in the background.
Scooby Doo
Buffy
Being the Slayer it’s Buffy’s job to save Sunnydale from the evils of the Hellmouth. Unlike Scooby Buffy doesn’t need much prompting to kick ass. Although there are still times when Giles has to encourage her to take her responsibilities seriously.
Freddie Jones
Freddy split the gang up to look for mysteries, but always seemed to split it up where he and Daphne could be alone…hmmm….
