Excellent DVD Set, But WARNING - Mis-Labeled!

By Carl  Apr 19, 2007

Pros: Full 16 epsides of third season

Cons: Mis-Labeled, seasons 1 & 2 not released

This is actually the third season of "The Scooby Doo Show" which ran from 1976-1978. This is NOT Season 3 of "Scooby Doo, Where Are You?", the original Scooby Doo series which initially aired for two seasons in 1969 and 1970. There never was a season 3 of "Scooby Doo, Where Are You".

NOTE, however, that according to animation expert Earl Kress, the 1978 episodes were the unofficial "third season" of "Scooby Doo, Where Are You!" as it had apparently used that show's opening titles. It supposedly ran until December 1978 as "Where Are You?" on the East Coast before being incorporated into the Scooby's All-Stars show. However, I can find no information/documentation anywhere which lists the original air date as anything earlier than 1978 "Scooby Doo Show" airings, so I have my doubts.

Additionally, the original "Where Are You?" series had the intro song which goes "Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You? We've got some work to do now.".
This Season 3 DVD uses the "Scooby Doo Show" intro which starts "He's got it all together for a brand new show, Scooby Doo is here and away we go". Tis is further evidence of the mis-labeling

Picture and Audio quality were good. Features were Ok but nothing to get too excited about.

We already have Season 1 & 2 of "Scooby Doo, Where Are You?", so hopefully Season 1 and Season 2 of the "Scooby Doo Show" (1976/1977) will be released too. That will round out the offerings nicely!
