    Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
    AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
    Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
    Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
    OllieSuave-007 This is the third incarnation of the cartoon series featuring Scooby Doo. He continues his crime-solving and ghost-unraveling adventures with best friend Shaggy and fellow mystery sleuths Fred, Daphne and Velma.This installment of the series is more in line with the original "Scooby Doo Where Are You?" show, but with more zest and suspense. You continue to get good old classic detective work, from finding clues to splitting up to investigate, while trying to escape the grasps of the ghostly antagonists.In addition to the detective elements are hilarious gags, witty humor and slapstick comedy that will have you laughing from start to finish. The characters are memorable and the opening scene song is as catchy, toe-tapping and fun as the first two series incarnations.It's an entertaining show that never grows old with me. I would still catch certain episodes of this show just for the fun of it.Grade A
    Atreyu_II "The Scooby-Doo Show" was never one of my favorites (even in my childhood), but it was nevertheless quite fun to watch. The adventures of Scooby-Doo (a Great Danes), his owner and the two girls Daphne and Velma were always hilarious, especially because Scooby-Doo and his owner are both so silly and "chicken".While not a personal favorite, this show is enjoyable and humorous enough to amuse those who watch it (including me).Scooby-Doo is a different type of dog. He knows how to be goofy, silly, stupid and at the same time friendly and cute. I'm not complaining. To be honest, I like his personality just the way it is.This animated TV series is showing its age, but still has its charm and certainly is slightly superior than these awful animated TV shows produced nowadays.
    voicemaster71 I consider my watching of the Hanna Barbera cartoons at its peak to be in the late 1970's. Other than the original Where Are You? series of 1969,I felt the next best animated Scooby Doo shows were the ones made between 1976 and 1978. The Scooby Doo Show had lots of great and memorable episodes. The only guest characters who surfaced in this series were Scooby's retarded cousin Scooby Dum. As annoying as he was, I say give me Scooby Dum over the likes of Scrappy Doo any day!! Also, there was Scooby Dee in that one episode. I noticed that when I acquired the Scooby Doo Dynomutt Hour on DVD, they only had the episodes from the 1976 season. Apparently, Hanna Barbera is skipping over the other half of these shows, though I don't understand why. I'm assuming the other half of these shows must have aired in 1977 as part of Scooby's All Star Laff a Lympics. Anyway, I noticed that in the late 70's the group split ups this time had it where Fred and both the girls went off together leaving Shaggy and Scooby together to provide all the laughs as opposed to the Velma hanging with Shaggy and Scooby while Fred and Daphne paired off like the old series.As for the villains, we saw the likes of the Spectre, The Gator Ghoul, The No Face Zombie and Gorilla, the 10,000 Volt Ghost and more. SO apparently, the Scooby Doo Show had three seasons. The third season sticks out in my mind more than any other. These 16 episodes are what some people say is supposed to be a continuation of the Where Are You? series, only with late 70's style animation. There were no guest characters in this series and the villains ranged from the Willowah, Iron Face, The Cat Creature, the Jaguaro,the Lock Ness Monster, the Disco Phantom, and more. These shows were a little spookier than the previous seasons and what really sticks out in my mind about these episodes is the stock music that Hanna Barbera used in these 16 episodes. These 16 episodes aired in 1978 as the opening segment of the new 90 minute Scooby's All Stars series and these episodes are coming out on DVD later this year. But what I was saying music wise, these 16 episodes had stock music that was also heard on Challenge of the SuperFriends, both the Challenge and Non Challenge episodes of 1978.Bottom line, I feel the best Scooby Doo shows were the original Where Are You series and these 1976-1978 episodes and also, the Scooby Movies of the early 70's. But it stops right here. Up next, disaster called Scrappy Doo!! Please WB, release the remaining Scooby episodes of 1977 on DVD as well as the Laff a Lympics. DYNOMUTT: DOG WONDER: This was not only a spin off to me from Scooby Doo, but also a parody of Batman and Robin, only in this case, the sidekick (a mechanical one) is the actual star while the hero is actually the costar. Dynomutt was hilarious as the mechanical Dog Wonder who although being a state of the art (at least at the time) crimefighter, Dog Wonder always malfunctioned. The real reason I liked Dynomutt was because of the Blue Falcon, who to me was nothing more than a Batman ripoff. Oddly enough, without Dynomutt around, BF is quite efficient as a Super Hero. But Dog Wonder's malfunctions always hindered Big Citys hero instead of helping him. And who can forget the likes of his arch enemies like Superthug, the Queen Hornet, The Gimmick, FishFace,the Worm, and Lowbrow. I also enjoyed the few episodes where Scooby Doo and the gang of Mystery Inc. guest appeared.Only a few episodes of Dynomutt are not on the DVD, so I am assuming they ran in 1977 on the Laff a Lympics shows. Either way, you can't miss with these Scooby Doo/Dynomutt Hour episodes on DVD. If you're a major Hanna Barbera fan, I highly recommend this series.
    kenny_c_hueholt I have to agree with most of what was said here. This is a lot like the original series, though there are a few minor differences:1. Appearances by Scooby-Dum 2. Pat Stevens replaces Nicole Jaffe as the voice of Velma 3. A new theme songI can't complain too much about the music. Most of the chase scene music was the same as the original. This also features classic villains like the Gator Ghoul, the Technicolor phantoms, the Jaguaroo, Ironface, etc. Overall, it's a really good show. Catch it weekday afternoons on Cartoon Network.
