Clue Club is a 30-minute Saturday morning animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions from August 14, 1976 to September 3, 1977 on CBS.

Clue Club only had one season’s worth of first-run episodes produced, which were shown on Saturday mornings on CBS (the original home of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, which Clue Club had replaced; Scooby-Doo was being groomed for its move to ABC).

In the fall of 1977, cut-down versions of the half-hour episodes of Clue Club appeared under the new title Woofer & Wimper, Dog Detectives to showcase the show's basset and bloodhound which aired as a segment on the CBS Saturday morning package program The Skatebirds from September 10, 1977 to January 28, 1978.

When The Skatebirds was cancelled in early 1978, Woofer & Wimper, Dog Detectives re-appeared as a segment alongside The Robonic Stooges on their half-hour show, also on CBS. The full-length versions of Clue Club returned to CBS on Sunday mornings from September 1978 to September 1979, concluding the show’s original network run.

After a mid-1980s revival on USA Cartoon Express, it has since resurfaced on Cartoon Network and Boomerang.

Plot

Similar in format to Hanna-Barbera’s successful Scooby-Doo, the show centered around four adolescent siblings who opened the title private investigation agency out of their suburban residence. The sibs were: Larry, 19; Pepper, 18; D.D., 16; and Dotty, 13. They solved mysteries with the help of their two talking hounds, Woofer and Wimper.

Clue Club mysteries usually involved investigating bizarre crimes such as a movie director vanishing or a two-ton statue disappearing into thin air. Their relationship to the police was closer than most of H-B's variations of the formula, with the local Sheriff often requesting their assistance on cases...as well as making arrests at their conclusion.

Characters

Dotty - The youngest member of the Club, endured an arsenal of deprecating nicknames from her elder sister and brothers: "half-pint," "short-stuff," and the like. A prodigy, she normally stayed at home; from there, Dotty provided case-solving information from her minicomputer and/or results from various forensic tests. She also had access to high-tech communications equipment, including audio/video links to the Club's car...and to their wristwatches, which doubled as pagers. (Where and how the Club built or otherwise acquired these devices was never specified; it was hinted that Dotty herself custom-made them.) Dotty's brothers and sister were highly protective of her, and resented it when she joined them in the field...which the girl frequently did, after running out of "homework."

Pepper and D.D. - They typically searched for leads and/or evidence, which often led to them being chased by the culprit(s). It was never revealed what D.D.'s initials stood for.

Larry - Normally he interviewed the suspect(s) and/or passed on the Club's findings to Dotty.

Woofer and Wimper - Much of the comedy would come from Woofer, who would constantly accuse suspects without good reason, then later back-track while proclaiming his genius; and Wimper, a more down-to-earth, easy-going, yet intelligent dog, who would at times go along with his comrade’s schemes, and other times turn the tables on his pal. This, and Wimper's ability to find pertinent clues elevated his character to equal status. Unlike Scooby-Doo, the dogs are only able to talk to each other and not to humans. They served in cases either as trackers, or delivering messages and/or evidence back to Dotty to analyze. Their voices sound similar to "Amos 'n Andy".
