 Everything you need for the Scooby Doo fan!! 13 of 15 people found this review helpful.
As a child I loved Scooby Doo and our toddler follows my footsteps as a fan too!! Sure you can catch an episode or 10 on television, but quite frankly I am never sure which Scooby you will get....the original (and still the best!) or one of the newer versions which confuse me as to what demographic they are actually trying to appeal to with their punk music and rather too intense 'monsters'! This is a great box set....for a reasonable price (which becomes even more reasonable here on ebay!) you get 4 discs which encompass the complete first and second series...over 9 hours which should be more than enough to satisfy even the most ardent Scooby Fan! This breaks down to 25 episodes of the good old fashioned stuff featuring Fred, Wilma, Daphne, Shaggy and of course our illustrious hero - Scooby!! Of course there are also all the extras that a box set will give you: in this case a guide to drawing your heroes and the "Scooby Doo challenge' which is enough to keep the fan occupied a little longer if 25 episodes are not quite enough! What is also interesting about this collection, particularly for the parent, is the evolution of the series from the initial episode right through to the 25th. We see how the series becomes more refined with more detail to the script and ultimately the mystery...of course , your younger viewer will be oblivious to this, but recapping childhood episodes in this way is interesting! This is a great collection and a must for Scooby fans young and old!

This four disc multi set has been our families best friend since we bought it. My four year old son has watched it over and over and can sing the song. Scooby Doo Where are You?, first premiered in 1969, and has taken many forms and spin-offs since it's original debut. The first (and I consider the best) 25 episodes are contained in this DVD set comprising of four discs. Like all Hanna Barbera Classic Collections releases this one comes in a cardboard digipack with a plastic slipcase. Each disc opens with a cool animated screen and menus. It has a play all feature which is nice for the kids. The video quality is pretty good considering the source is over 35 years old. There is some dust and debris visible, but it is not severe. The audio is presented in mono and is nice, without much hiss or dropouts. There are English, French and Spanish subtitles and the set is closed captioned. The set features some unique extras, videos, trailers and more. I would have to say that this is one of my favorite cartoons. I grew up watching these and can still, at age 40, enjoy them. I will enjoy watching them over and over again with my children for years to come.
