Scooby-Doo Where Are You? Seasons One & Two (Rpkgd/DVD)

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!

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.

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.

Great condition and they all work great

Couldn't tell you why but this 'complete' edition of the first and second seasons of Scooby Doo, Where are You? is missing a number of episodes from season two, some of which I would have loved to see again. That aside, this is a lovely collection. The quad-fold digipak is housed in a plastic slipcase bearing an illustration that mimics an animation cell. When the package is removed from the case, it shows the illustration without color against stylized fingerprint background. The inner artwork, like all the Scooby Doo collections I have yet to see, is a bit cheesy in quality compared to the actual animation of the early episodes but for what it is, it is nicely done. The initial fold-out reveals 'Scooby Doo Facts', while another fold-out reveals the four discs themselves, as well as a tag fold detailing their contents. The trays are transparent and when a disc is removed, it reveals a similiarly stylized panel of a panoramic illustrated scene featuring nondescript ghosts and/or goblins in silhouette. As for the quality of the DVDs themselves, I have never seen these episodes look or sound better. In some instances, dialog has been replaced or substituted with alternate dialog, presumably due to deterioration of the original tapes but the difference is hardly objectionable and would only be noticable to a true Scooby Doo connoisseur. While some of these episodes are still sometimes shown on television, others are rarely seen in this day and age and in fact, many episodes contain elements which may be considered socially objectionable. None of this is, of course, malicious but wholly of its time, which was now quite a long time ago. While I would have loved to have a truly complete collection, I am pleased with the twenty-five episodes included and am glad to own it.

My earliest and most fondest memory of watching the classic 1969 Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! was in the 70s early on Saturday morning when it was still dark outside. Considering how Scooby is often parodied today, this may surprise you but back then (to my young eyes) Scooby-Doo was kinda scary and creepy thanks to the creepy background settings, the monsters (my favorite: the skeleton-headed spaceman with the crazy laugh) and Ted Nichols' creepy underscore which could build up tension like Bernard Herrmann did for Hitchcock. Luckily, the tension would be broken with Scooby and Shaggy's comedic antics. Antics which typically resulted in the "musical chase numbers" which would conclude with the "monster" getting trapped, then unmasked, followed by the villain's obligatory "And I would've gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids"...[and their dog]. As predictable, or even corny as others deem it be, all of this - the pure 60s/70s fun - is what has eternally endeared Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! to me above all the other versions. Produced and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, Scooby-Doo's mystery-solving format remains one of most often imitated shows to date. Fangface, Clue Club, Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels, Rickety Rocket, Jabberjaw (just to name a few) all owe credit to Scooby-Doo. After the two seasons here in this collection the quality of the show was diminished to rather "cartoony proportions." Though, some versions were still interesting to watch such as 1972's The New Scooby-Doo Movies where the gang would team up with guest stars such as Batman & Robin, The Addams Family, Jerry Reed, Tim Conway, Sandy Duncan, and such. There were three versions of Scooby-Doo's opening theme for the two seasons in this collection: One is a rare instrumental only version used in the first few episodes of season one; the other is the classic vocal version performed by studio singer Larry Marks used for the remainder of season one; and then there's the one that has the same music and lyrics as the classic version but was performed by "chase songs" artist Austin Roberts for season two. For the grooviest adventures of Freddy, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scoob, this DVD collection is definitely the best buy!

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.
