What Parents Need to Know
About Funky Phantom
Parents need to know that this is another Scooby-Doo-style '70s Hanna-Barbera romp. It's dated, but kids will still get a kick out of the familiar characters and stories. There's some mild cartoon violence (no real injuries or blood), and one of the main characters is a ghost, but he's not scary. The token girl, April -- who at first seems like the worst possible giggly blonde stereotype -- is nearly always the one to solve the mystery.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how this show's characters compare with the ones on Scooby-Doo and other similar cartoons. Why is there always a girl, a Shaggy-type guy, and a non-Shaggy guy? What are the designated differences between the two guys? Do people really fit these molds, or do they sometimes like to fit themselves into them? How can you tell that this show was originally made a long time ago? How would it be different today?
