I'm talking about watching my lover die!

Or, musing on the Scoobies.

Totally of your post, but why are they called the Scoobies? I always wondered why.

Well, it started just because... it sounded cute. Then they used it on the show, and it totally stuck.

Okay, I had thought it was because Sarah was in Scooby-Doo.

When did they start being called Scoobies? I'm so curious.

It was used on the show for the first time in "What's My Line: Part 1" (just caught the relevent part of that on FX the other day). Xander to Cordelia: "Come on, Cordy, if you want to hang with the Scooby gang you have to deal with a little discomfort." (Paraphrased 'cause I'm too lazy to pull up the script) However, apparently it was used by fans before that to describe the group, 'cause they delt with supernatural, I guess. I wasn't part of the fandom back then, so I can't really say. (Not that I really am now, but that's a subject for another post.)

Thanks for the specific reference! I couldn't quite remember it.

Well, we (the fans) started calling them that in first season, and I believe that Xander calls them 'the Scooby Gang' in second season - way before SMG was in SB.
