The Scooby Doo Show
The Tar Monster made his first appearance in an episode of The Scooby Doo Show entitled “The Tar Monster.” In the episode, Mystery Inc. visits Professor Brickston, who is leading an archeologist dig in the ancient city of Byzantius. He tells them the dig is being cancelled because the workers are being frightened off by the Tar Monster, the protector of Byzantius who lived in the tar pools that the city was known for. The Professor also told the gang The Tar Monster had kidnapped his assistant, Mr. Stoner. That night The Tar Monster attacked Scooby and Shaggy in their tent, the gang followed the monster’s footprints to a tar pool where they found an ancient piece of pottery. The next day, the Professor takes Mystery Inc. into the city where they are attacked by the Tar Monster. The gang uses an air compressor to force the Tar Monster out of the tar pools, and unmask him to be Mr. Stoner, who used the legend of the Tar Monster to scare away the workers so he could sneak into the Inner Sanctum of Byzantius, and steal the treasure.

Famous quotes containing the word show:
“There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate. A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
