Scooby-Doo Where Are You!: The Complete Series (Repackaged 2018/DVD)

There is some false information in the reviews for this. First off, this box set is not missing any episodes of the series "Scooby Doo, Where Are You!" The "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" series originally ran for two seasons, broadcast from 1969-1970. Both of those seasons are here, amounting to 25 episodes.The success of the series lead to an hour-long series in 1972 called "The New Scooby-Doo Movies." This series is partially available on DVD, but is not included in this set.Scooby-Doo returned in 1976 with 16 new half-hour episodes that were paired with another Hannah-Barbara show (Dynomutt, Dog Wonder) in a series called "The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour." The 16 episodes were later retitled "The Scooby-Doo Show" for reruns and are sometimes referred to as Season 1 of that series. These episodes aren't included, but are available separately.In 1977, 8 more episodes were produced under a 2-hour package called "Scooby's All-Star Laugh-A-Lympics." These episodes were also rebroadcast as part of "The Scooby-Doo Show" and are referred to as Season 2 of that series. Scoobs also appeared in 16 30-minute segments of the "Laff-A-Lympics" series with other Hannah-Barbara characters. None of these episodes are in this set.Which leads to 1978, when 16 more episodes were produced under the name "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" 8 of these episodes were broadcast with the original series' opening and closing credits. When the lineup changed, the remaining 8 were aired under a package called "Scooby's All Stars." Like the `76 and `77 episodes, when these episodes were reaired, they were listed as part of "The Scooby-Doo Show" and are often referred to as Season 3 of that series, in addition to being known as Season 3 of the original series. These are also sometimes called the "lost" episodes. Since they were originally aired under the name "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!", Warner released them on DVD as the third season of the original series and included them in this set.Based solely on the seasons that were produced under the name "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!", this box set collects those 41 episodes produced from 1969-1970 and 1978 and presents them as "The Complete Series." It's not a lie. It's not false advertising. It's just not a compendium of every Scooby-Doo series that ever existed, which is what some people think it is.The packaging of this release is cardboard, but is fairly sturdy. It's definitely not a toy. A plastic version was previously made and has been out of print for a few years. That version housed the discs in cardboard sleeves, prone to scratching. In this release, all 8 discs are housed in an extra-wide DVD case, presenting them more securely than the previous release. This case fits nicely inside the drawer that slides out from the back of the Mystery Machine packaging.If you're a big fan of Scooby-Doo, this is a nice way to collect all of the "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" episodes. This is the original series and is still considered the best Scooby-Doo series ever made. If you're looking to collect every episode of Scooby animation that's ever been made, this won't be the last Scooby-Doo set you purchase.

Love it! I've been wanting it for a long time.

Perfect entertainment for my nephew

If you loved watching this as a kid this complete dvd series is just what you need to bring back all the memories. Looks great sitting on the shelf.

Overall it’s in good condition! Everything inside was perfect and included. There were a few cracks and broken spots but nothing too crazy. I think the way it’s shipped (encased in just a foam wrapper) doesn’t fully protect the outer plastic casing. That’s why so many people receive theirs broken. This is a gift so I’m happy everything worked out.

I got this for my 4 year old son who loves Scooby Doo. It's a lot easier having just one case compared to having multiple and you also run the risk of getting duplicate episodes (happens quite frequently). So this was for sure worth the money. This series comes in a Mystery Machine case. The case isn't that great and gets beat up quite easily. The DVDs are basically stored in a case within a case. There are 8 DVDs total and 41 episodes total. Episodes include:-What a Night for a Knight-Hassle in the Castle-A Clue for Scooby Doo-Mine Your Own Business-Decoy for a Dognapper-What the Hex Going On?-Never Ape an Ape Man-Foul Play in Funland-The Backstage Rage-Bedlam in the Bigtop-A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts-Scooby-Doo and a Mummy, Too-Which Witch is Which?-Spooky Space Kook-Go Away Ghost Ship-A Night of Fright Is No Delight-That's Snow Ghost-Nowhere to Hyde-Mystery Mask Mix-Up-Jeepers, It's the Creeper-Scooby's Night with a Frozen Fright-The Haunted House Hang-Up-A Tiki Scare Is No Fair-Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Werewolf?-Don't Fool with a Phantom-Watch Out! The Willawaw!-A Creepy Tangle in the Bermuda Triangle-A Scary Night With a Snow Beast Fright-To Switch a Witch-The Tar Monster-A Highland Fling With a Monstrous Thing-The Creepy Case of Old Iron Face-Jeepers, It's the Jaguaro!-Make a Beeline Away from That Feline-The Creepy Creature of Vulture's Claw-The Diabolical Disc Demon-Scooby's Chinese Fortune Kooky Caper-A Menace in Venice-Don't Go Near the Fortress of Fear-The Warlock of Wimbledon-The Beast is Awake in Bottomless LakeThere are other special features thrown throughout the discs that include how to draw the gang, music videos, fan favorite cases, and how the artists/animators collaborate among themselves and with fans. A bonus disc includes celebrating the world-wide fame of Scooby-Doo, how the series began, and the original actors share memories.Overall there are seasons 1, 2, and 3 on these discs. It's perfect to be able to keep everything in one place and not have multiple cases strewn about and I would highly recommend it because it's a lot cheaper paying for one set like this than multiple DVDs.
