Scooby Doo geography

[matt]

Something that I've always been interested in that i haven't found a complete list of are the locations of Scooby Doo episodes/movies, so I thought this would be an interesting resource. I know that I will be missing a lot (especially from newer media that I haven't been able to keep up with) so please let me know to add to the list and some of these could be wrong as well. This post will be about states in the United States and I will make another about international locations. Also won't be including Laff-a-lympic episodes as that can be seen by viewing the series episodes. This will be by primary location, not just a scene or a little bit of the episode or movie

*- These states have both been known as potential locations for Coolsville- so that would add QUITE a few episodes to that catalog
^- Probable location of Crystal Cove as well. There is an area in Newport Beach called Crystal Cove according to Google but that is probably coincidental

Good list. Somebody else put together a Google Map with red pinpoints of known locations, but this list looks more comprehensive.

Yeah I have seen some stuff (not that one particularly that does sound interesting) but they were just not very complete. Not that this one is complete either

Yeah, though those two live-action TV movies place Coolsville in Ohio, it seems that in animation Coolsville is most likely in California, particularly its' depiction in "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo" and "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" (Coolsville has a beach, and I also remember how in "A Scooby-Doo Valentine" it looked like it was spring in February, like it often would be in California at that time.) I'm also reminded of a couple of educational Scooby-Doo filmstrips from the late 1970s about resumes and job interviews, Shaggy's hometown was shown to be Hanbar, California (an admittedly clever play on Hanna-Barbera!)
"Never Ape an Ape Man" would also most likely take place in California as well, since that also involves a movie set.
"A Scooby-Doo Christmas" takes place in some New England town, but the state is not specified. It could very well be either Maine, Massachusetts (my home state!), New Hampshire or Vermont. Though lately here in New England we usually don't get snow until AFTER Christmas, no thanks to global warming.

Yeah I would say Coolsville is probably California as well for the cartoons

I did forget that A Scooby Doo Christmas is in New England as well. I feel like it could be any of those states, but if I had to guess I would say one of the states on the border (perhaps Maine). 

I suppose I'll add Never Ape and Ape Man to the list although I do feel like they could be filming elsewhere, but California probably would be most likely

I also found out that Shaggy's showdown is set in Texas, Aliens Invaders in New Mexico.

Honestly I would love to see another movie set in Louisiana.

[hippyboy86]

"Don't Go Near the Fortress of Fear" from The Scooby-Doo Show takes place in Puerto Rico.

This is a pretty good list. Every time I come here to add something, it's already there.
