HYDERABAD: The Mystery Van in Scooby Doo, the tiny frock and long legs of Dee Dee who always created chaos in Dexter’s Laboratory, the myth that spinach gives you instant energy just like Popeye in The Popeye Show or the little lessons that Lulu taught us in The Little Lulu Show are sure going to bring back beautiful memories for those who were born in the 90s.
