Saturday Morning's Forgotten Heroes: The Clue Club goes to the circus (1976)

Even Dottie gets in on the act this time, as the Clue Club goes to the circus to solve the disappearance of a fan favorite trapeze artist who isn't exactly popular with the troupe. Meanwhile, Wimper makes Woofer look like a prize chump. Here's "The Circus Caper":



Hanna-Barbera wanted to try something fresh with this series, such that it wouldn't truly be a clone of Scooby-Doo, which Clue Club replaced on the CBS schedule. The whodunit format, which WB would later use with What's New Scooby-Doo?, in truth, enabled Clue Club to find common ground with studio stablemate Super Friends over on ABC.
