SCOOBY-DOO WHERE ARE YOU?:SEASONS 1 & 2

Love watching this as a kid and still do. Velma was my favorite.

I grew up watching this series (I'm not old, mind you...I watched them on VHS first in the early 2000's), and it holds a very special place in my heart. I remember how "Hassle in the Castle" was my favorite episode (and it still is) and I would watch it over and over again until it drove my parents nuts. And then our VHS player broke, and this series couldn't be found anywhere on Netflix. So I fell away from the series. Until earlier this year, I came downstairs and saw my younger siblings watching the newest Scooby-Doo series (Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated), and I got excited. I mean, it's Scooby-Doo, what can go wrong? As it turns out, everything. After the episode finished, I was very upset. That was not Scooby-Doo that I had just watched. Romance was so overdone...yes there was some affection between Fred and Daphne in "Where are You?", but never to the extremes that "Mystery Incorporated" took it to. And they also overused Shaggy's use of the word "like." He did NOT use it that much in "Where are You?" And, most importantly, Scooby-Doo didn't actually feel like Scooby-Doo! The characters weren't lovable! That's when I marched straight up to my mother and said, "Mom, you need to by 'Where are You?' on DVD, if you can find it." We found this disc set, and we purchased it. And I'm glad we did. I have now fallen in love with the series once again, and my siblings have all but forgotten about "Mystery Incorporated" and they too now love this classic series. There is so much to like about "Scooby-Doo! Where are You?" It's hilariously funny, and Scooby is instantly one of my favorite characters. The way he tries to get out of things is a big hit in the family. The mysteries are all very unique in their own way, and we all have our own favorite episodes. The characters are so lovable and the things they say are cute and funny...we are often quoting the show. Perhaps the best thing is the animation. Considering this was made back in the late 1960s/early 1970s, the animation is very well done...sure, it's simple, but sometimes that's a good thing. In this case, it's a very good thing. What's pictured on screen is typically very basic and not very detailed, but the animation is so fluid and perfect that it doesn't even matter. This series is a true classic that will continue to live on in my heart. My only complaint has nothing to do with the series...it has to do with the case. The case is made of paper, and the disc holders are made of plastic. When you open it all the way up, it's split evenly in half with two discs on each side. But since the main case is made of paper, it ripped clean in half within a week of purchasing this product. And the box that you keep the case in broke in a matter of days. Basically, this is a poorly designed case, but it's nothing that can't be fixed with a little bit of tape. But I won't let the poor case design get in the way of my final score...this is a classic series and it's rating can't be degraded because it came in a poor case. I give "Scooby-Doo: Where are You?" a perfect 5/5, because it rightfully deserves it.

A true classic! Timeless and holds up today. This is one of those shows that will never get old and can be enjoyed by countless generations. As far as the DVD set itself goes its a great buy. Some solid art work on case and discs. Nice episode lists on the case. I like this set, as opposed to other WB/HB sets because it has 4 separate discs, opposed to others that have like 3 but 2 are double sided. Now there is a Season 3, however it is unofficially Season 3. It is actually 'The Scooby Doo Show' a series that followed 'Scooby Doo! Where are you?" But this is The Complete Series of the original Scooby Doo. Episodes are good quality and has some pretty good special features. Now I speak on the 2003 release, I know WB has rereleased this set several times. But I imagine it is typically the same set. Maybe updated bonus features, and new box art. Either way a must have for any Scooby Doo fan!

We bought this set back in 2010 when my son was a baby, and we’re still watching it as a family in 2026. It’s truly a classic—nothing beats the original episodes of Scooby-Doo. The packaging hasn’t held up well over time (the cardboard case is worn and the plastic inside is cracked), but the DVDs themselves still play perfectly. This has been a long-time family favorite, and it’s great to have something we can still enjoy together all these years later.

This DVD contains all the episodes of the pioneer Scooby-Doo Where are You. At that time, Hanna-Barbera wanted to create something unique, instead of a typical hero cartoon. Thus, Scooby-Doo was born. It was a unique plot at first, four kids and a dogs going creepy places to solve mysteries, one might even say they were on pot to do such feat. This cartoon is a must-get, since it is the spark that led to Scooby-Doo lasting 40++ years. The quality and animation might not be smooth compared to Tom & Jerry, but one must remember Hanna-Barbera were on a tight budget and in order to produce many cartoons, quality have to be compromised. Nevertheless, the cartoon have many unique and intelligent jokes, with the voice actors being one of the most talented group at first. Frank Welker as Fred was amazing, so is Heather North, Nicole Jaffe, Casey Kasem and Don Messick in Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby. Again, the cartoon has a creepy vibe to it, thus making it more like a teen to late-teen type of cartoon. For me, I like mysteries with a horror element added with a tinge of humour, hence this cartoon fits into my itinerary. I must emphasize again, the voice-acting here is GOOD. No other cartoons can have such suitable voices for the right type of characters. Furthermore, the cartoon shows a good reference to the 60s-70s era, with short scenes of a barn party or a beach party, reflective of hippies' lifestyles. I strongly recommend this to all Scooby fans to add to their collection, cause it is agreed that this is the one of the better cartoon season so far, IMO, although the Scooby-Doo Show is the best due to much better animation.

This is a must for any true scooby fan the laughs never stop

I'm giving this 5 stars despite my headline - come on, it's Scooby-Doo. Who doesn't love a good mystery! This is for the 50th Anniversary Collection and includes seasons one and two, which are, in my opinion, the best. They've been digitally remastered and look better than ever. And now for the annoying part. This is a 3 DVD set. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to stack the DVD's on top of each other in a solitary tray is a lunatic! Stacking them on top of each other will cause scratches, and yes mine are scratched. I get it that someone out there thinks they're being clever and practical by saving plastic, but you really aren't saving anything if someone decides to return it because their discs skip. There's no room for practicality when you aren't using your brain.

When I stumbled across a DVD that had all episodes from the 1st and 2nd seasons(by far and away the best ever) of Scooby Doo it was too good to resist. For £15 or so you get 25 episodes from the 1969 and 1970 shows,and although the animation is a bit scratchy through age,it doesn't diminish the nostalgia value.It's almost worth buying for the sublime incidental music that is used throughout the series. Above all a bargain!

Classic cscooby doo at its best and original.

Aunque la imagen no está restaurada y se notan manchitas y defectillos, no se ve mal. El sonido también es aceptable. No tiene audio en español, pero sí los subtítulos. Es región 1, pero, si podéis meter en el ordenador un lector de DVD que no uséis (para no enredar con el que uséis normalmente), al meter el disco nos dirá que es región 1 y que si queremos adaptar el lector. Diciéndole que sí se leerán los discos sin problema. Así se puede hacer una copia sin región para poder verlos en el reproductor de la tele.
