Scooby-Doo is a dog who can talk, which is amazing, and he largely uses his powers of speech to communicate how scared he is of ghosts and monsters, and basically the only thing his owners do is drive him around the country putting him inside various haunted houses and such. I wish I could take Scooby-Doo aside, I want to say to him, these people are not your friends.
I *would* like to point out that many episodes start with the gang trying to do something normal and then they get the mystery dumped in their laps. So, it’s clear they DO try to do fun, normal things together, we just don’t get to ever see if they’re *successful* in their endeavors.
