Clue Club was a Hanna-Barbera cartoon that was a copy in largest part of Scooby-Doo in that it entailed a group of four kids tapping into crimes and mysteries that the local law enforcement seemingly can't solve themselves.The group consists of Larry, the team leader; Pepper, one of two female members; D.D., Pepper's partner in clue searching, and Dotty, the youngest member of the group, Pepper's sister, and the team's troubleshooter. There are two dogs as well—Woofer (a bloodhound with a bravado complex) and Wimper (a basset who knows better). These two dogs can talk plain English to each other and other animals, just not to humans. Sheriff Bagley is the baffled flatfoot who sees the Clue Club as more nosy than helpful but he takes his cap off to them when the crime is solved.Clue Club aired on CBS starting on August 14, 1976 (replacing Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, which moved to ABC a month later). After a season, the episodes were chopped down to ten minutes and used as a feature on The Skatebirds, rebilled as Woofer & Wimper: Dog Detectives. At mid-season, The Robonic Stooges (another Skatebirds feature) was given its own time period (retitled The Three Robonic Stooges) and took Woofer & Wimper with them. In 1978, Clue Club returned to CBS, airing on Sunday mornings. In the mid-Eighties, reruns of the series would become a staple of the early USA Cartoon Express.The complete series was released on DVD on August 11, 2015, via Warner Archive. | |

| Clue Club / int_191a3673 | comment |
Graceful Loser: A few culprits, like Foster from "The Solar Energy Caper" who comments that he made a good try while seeming impressed by the kids, Carloff in "One of Our Elephants is Missing" who simply says that th jig is up with a tired sigh rather than deny it, and Crane in "The Dissolving Statue Caper" who makes a confession after being confronted with the evidence and simply ask That a coworker take care of his pet monkey while being arrested. | |

You Meddling Kids | |
| Clue Club / int_1abf68d5 | comment |
You Meddling Kids: More than a few villains expressed frustration that they would have gotten away with it if not for the "nosy" kids. Possibly adding insult to injury, at least a few of them only cited "three nosy kids", utterly discounting Dotty's contributions. Possibly justified. Larry and the others insisted on leaving Dotty at home to keep her safe. Revealing to desperate, potentially dangerous men that she cracked most of the clues might have put her in danger. | |

Adorably Precocious Child: Dotty is smart and adorable. What keeps her from the nerd category is that she's as hip as any 13-year-old girl in 1976 and is into rock and roll music ("The Amazing Heist" demonstrates this). | |

Cold Touch Surprise: On more than one occasion, Dee Dee and Pepper have entered a dark room or hallway, with one of them, usually Pepper, requesting they hold hands for safety. Both will complain that the other's hands feel cold or be like ice, only to reveal that the Monster of the Week has somehow got between them. In "The Real Gone Gondola", Woofer and Wimper are warming themselves by a heater in the clubhouse after having been buried in snow. Woofer is in front of the heater, and Wimper's back feet are still blue with cold. Wimper shoves them under Woofer to warm them more quickly, causing Woofer to leap several feet into the air. | |

Propping Up Their Patsy: Double-Subverted. In one episode, Pepper and Dotty's Uncle "Salty" Boggs is accused of stealing a diamond from a display in a museum from which he was recently fired. Also suspected is the woman who owns the museum, as she is fully knowledgeable about the security systems that were protecting the diamond. The actual culprit was the man who owned a local lighthouse, and who had been forced to fire Uncle "Salty" from working the lighthouse due to budget cuts. He had expected his plan was foolproof, and would have been a baffling mystery, never intending either Boggs or the museum owner to come under suspicion, and sincerely and earnestly pleads their innocence without revealing that he was the guilty party. | |

Adults Are Useless | |
| Clue Club / int_a939d96a | comment |
Adults Are Useless: Zig-zagged. Sheriff Bagley will oblige the Clue Club by gathering suspects together, and tip his hat to the team when they solve a mystery.He also also spots and captures a fleeing member of the criminal gang in "The Weird Seaweed Caper". However, he almost never seems to have the correct suspect on his own, and while he is seen looking for evidence or taking in people for questioning himself, he does far less legwork and searching than the kids themselves do. | |

Trademark Favorite Food | |
| Clue Club / int_ad641426 | comment |
Trademark Favorite Food: Pepper describes hotdogs as "Dotty's favorite fruit". In another episode, when going to a circus, Dotty has calculated the budget they'd need for snacks. She's assigned five hotdogs for herself in that budget, and when the mystery breaks out and she is sent home, she complains that she's only had four hotdogs. | |

All for Nothing | |
| Clue Club / int_aed65980 | comment |
All for Nothing: In "The Circus Caper" an acrobat was kidnapped by his enemies in the circus without them realizing that the man was going to take a job at another circus in a couple weeks, which would have resolved that problem anyway without the need to commit a crime. | |

Tragic Villain | |
| Clue Club / int_b5171e10 | comment |
Tragic Villain: A few of the bad guys come across this way. In the pilot, the counterfeiters are just acting To try and save their once great theater, which other people are also sentimental about, from being demolished. The culprit in "The Vanishing Airport" is implied to have been cheated and mistreated by his employer, being a brilliant design engineer who ended up as a mechanic. | |

You Need a Breath Mint: One episode had D.D. and Pepper chased by a vampire, so they eat cloves of garlic and then say "H-h-h-h-h-hi!" to him. The vampire wilts and runs away. As a gag, Pepper does this to Woofer and Wimper, causing them to melt to the ground in repulsion. | |

Vitriolic Best Buds: D.D. and Pepper, with loads of Snark-to-Snark Combat. Woofer and Wimper are paired together and have a strong bond despite how much Woofer throws his weight around and how much Woofer can feel threatened by Wimper's (relatively) greater intelligence. | |

Monster of the Week | |

On more than one occasion, Dee Dee and Pepper have entered a dark room or hallway, with one of them, usually Pepper, requesting they hold hands for safety. Both will complain that the other's hands feel cold or be like ice, only to reveal that the Monster of the Week has somehow got between them. | |

Easily Forgiven: The running bit of this show is that Dotty cannot join the others on their missions because she's only 13 years old. Yet each week she shows up at the denoument with an alibi why she's there, and Larry can't find it in himself to stay mad at her. | |
