So I've noticed in this series, compared to later shows, the gang is shown more at home. Now I know Scooby Doo never had the most consistent continuity ever, but it seems at least in this show, the writers attempted to have some sort of "continuity". The malt-shop is seen in several episodes, and little minor things show up from time to time. Compare that to The Scooby Doo Show era, where only two episodes seem to be set at home (High Raise Hair Raiser and The No-Face Zombie Case), and most of the time the gang is seen traveling from place to place. Now this is understandable, since it seemed that the gang was in college while The Scooby Doo Show was happening, but I still thought it was pretty interesting.
Anyone got any other thoughts on this?

I thought they were still in school? They were. It's just that I always found it interested, considering the fact that they still traveled around, from location from location, from time to time. There were at least ten episodes that seemed to set at home, although the specific location in town, was always changing.

They sure must have racked up the miles during school holidays.
It did have a more 'local' feel than other series for sure.

Well I can imagine Shaggy was eventually the fastest runner in school by senior year, ha-ha! Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. It did seem to have a more "home" feel, because we actually saw the team going to dances, and getting involved in bank robberies, and the likes. Compare to that The New Scooby Doo Movies, where the limited animation style is the same, but the background environments seem completely different.

True. They probably lived in a city, rather then say a town, although it's a bit inconsistent in that regard. Certainly looked like it was a city in Nowhere To Hyde, and A Mummy Too.

You know it was interesting. In S1 they worked with a professor so i was assuming college professor. But then in S2 they had a School Dance. Those can happen in college but are not common. So maybe it was just a local professor in S1 and not specifically there professor. Or that was a college dance in S2.

What's the difference between a college professor and a university professor. In the UK a professor is a senior academic/head of department in a university so I don't know the US system.

doobert"Scooby-Doo, Where's the Crew" seemed to suggest they hadn't reached college yet.

I always took it as the gang being "connected" with authority type figures. When they needed someone specific, they knew exactly where to go.

The episodes with the Malt Shop and Jeepers it's the creeper, that featured the gang's school (named central high in later series's)
