Amazon.com 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. --Tom Keogh

  Kids love the video July 19, 2008 My 2 youngest children have developed a love for Scooby Doo. I purchased this video because it was reasonably priced and it was worth the money.
  I love Scooby July 19, 2008 Growing up, scooby doo was always my favorite cartoon. I'm glad it's now on DVD! This is a must have for any fan. I hope they continue to release all of the original scooby doo shows on dvd.
  Love our scooby doo!! July 16, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the best set of dvds of the scooby doo series!! I am 30 years old and I will never tire of it!!
  I love Scooby-Doo! July 13, 2008 If you are a lover of Scooby-Doo then this is for you. Hang on a minute, is there actually anyone out there who doesn't like Scooby-Doo? (Give me a Scooby snack while I chew this over.)Scooby Doo, Where Are You! - The Complete First and Second Seasons
  ROH OH!!!!!!!!! Why can I only rate this five stars??? July 9, 2008 A five star rating??? Zoinks! Jinkies!!! Hold onto your hula hoops!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd give Scooby five million stars, right up there with the original Superfriends. I'm giving Scooby the edge though. Brilliant, simply brilliant. The music, my God some of the music is still creepy, watch the "What a night for a Knight" episode. You just don't hear music like that anymore. The set is priced just fine I think. The artwork and the whole layout is well worth the fifty bucks. Is Scooby repetitive? Yes but who cares, it's so funny and entertaining, you can't help but watch it. Having the original series on dvd is like a dream come true. I used to tape them off the cartoon network, trying to get all of them. Let's just say, that ended up being annoying. One, having it on vhs sucked. Two, having to forward through all the commerials sucked even worse. I love Scooby, he's some of my best childhood memories. If your kids are watching cartoons nowadays, I feel sorry for them. I've seen the Powerrangers and the Telletubbies. YAWN!!!!!! If there still young enough, why not introduce them to Scooby. Fun and scary, I'm in my mid 30's now and I still watch them. And why not, with all the stimulating things on tv (insert sarcasm) there's not much else to watch. I'd put Scooby in my # 1 cartoon slot of all time. Brilliant, amazing, funny, creepy, and the best one liner in tv history........."AND I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT, IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR YOU MEDDLING KIDS!!! Scooby Doo Where are you seasons one, two, and three all come......... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!
