Chuck Jones and other great studio animators sneered at the cheap look and lazy craftsmanship of Hanna Barbera's television cartoons in the 1960s, but there's no question HB's original, 35-year-old Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! is enduringly beloved. The Complete First and Second Seasons includes all 25 stories first broadcast from September '69 to October '71, a growth period in which canine hero Scooby's voice (by Don Messick, who also voiced The Jetsons's pup, Astro) was gradually refined from murky garble to Scoob's more familiar, "Rrroowwrr"-inflected, human-like speech. This set also represents the pre-frills Scooby-Doo: no guest appearances by Don Knotts or Batman, no Scrappy-Doo--just adventure and occasional bubblegum pop tunes by Danny Janssen and sundry co-writers (e.g., "Pretty Mary Sunlite" in the episode "Don't Fool with a Phantom"). Watching all the shows back-to-back reveals evolving complexity in the scripts. Over time, Scooby-Doo's creators added multiple bad guys in cahoots with major villains, and developed sub-plots, backstories, and even appealing allies and friends of Mystery, Inc., a traveling band of young debunkers of supernatural phenomena. Riding around in their psychedelic Mystery Van, preppie leader Fred and his friends--haughty Daphne, brainy Velma, quasi-hippie Shaggy, and Shaggy's best pal, Scooby, an excitable Great Dane--chase down and are chased by alleged ghouls who generally turn out to be venal humans running various scams. Included here is Scooby-Doo's premiere, "What a Night for a Knight," in which the gang looks into the disappearance of a noted archaeologist and end up in a "haunted" museum. The fun "Go Away Ghost Ship" finds our heroes helping a shipping company daunted by the apparent ghost of pirate Red Beard, while the silly classic "A Tiki Scare Is No Fair" concerns a Hawaiian vacation for Mystery, Inc. disrupted by a witch doctor. Who doeasn't love Scooby Doo? As a kid some of the episodes really scared me.Especially the wolfman,Frank and Drac.I highly recommened getting this boxset for your collection if you haven't already.Don't worry about the Scrappy-Doo and Scooby-Dumb shit.Just stick with the original, pure, superb "Scooby-Doo Where Are You?" cartoons that ran from 1969-70.Those were days man.

It was great but I didn't like the ones where they met the celebrities. Intersting how when they would split up sometimes Velma would go with Shaggy and Scooby.

I can remember watching this show when I was little. It was great too bad the recent movies are so awful, they bring down the whole series because the little kids see those first and totally miss the best of the series.

The Johnny Bravo episode which had the characters from Scooby-Doo in it was hilarious: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjZZDha_6SUThere it is, enjoy. I laughed my ass off at so many parts... "We're up to our ASS... cots in a mystery." "My glasses! I can't be seen without my glasses!" "Jinkies? Isn't that some kind of breakfast cereal?"

I liked the show, I've seen just about every episode and the other shows about it like "The 13th Ghost of Scooby Doo", "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo", "The Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Puppy Hour", "The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries", and tons of the older movies.
I didn't like the new series or the newer movies. I also didn't care for the first of the live action movies but I did like the second one, mainly cause I like Seth Green! ;D

The new series "Scooby Doo...Get A Clue!" is the first one to not use Casey Kasem's voice talents and it shows.

I just can't stand that style of drawing! Thats why I won't watch the new TMNT, if they did it in a older style like maybe the comics style, then I might watch it!

This is the way its suppose to be.
Why did they have to change the look in the new series? I think the new animators behind the scooby doo get a clue series think todays kids are a bunch of assholes.
I mean seriously, Theres nothing wrong with the original look at all.

They tend to update their looks, this isn't the first time. Shaggy has worn different color shirts, and Daphne has worn entirely different clothing and hair styles. I blame the 1980s for that, their attempt to modernize Scooby-Doo.

I mean seriously, Theres nothing wrong with the original look at all. They did the same thing with the Looney Tunes characters for the show Loonatics Unleashed. They feel that they need to be "hip" and "modern."
