Product Description:
This animated power-hour pairs two of Hanna-Barbera's most beloved characters: Richie Rich and Scooby-Doo. Richie Rich has enough cash to swim laps in and a mansion filled with mind-boggling gadgets--not least his robotic maid Irona! His extravagant lifestyle may inspire envy but his good nature and daring--not to mention all that sparkling gold--make him the child every kid wants to be. Along with his faithful dog Dollar Richie's bulging bankroll gets him in plenty of exciting adventures. Meanwhile Scooby-Doo is sure to get into some comic hijinks of his own--especially if it means a Scooby Snack! Along with cohorts Shaggy and Scrappy Scooby boards the amazing Mystery Machine to solve his share of spooky mysteries. This first volume presents seven episodes of the 1980s cartoon grab-bag.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: NR UPC: 014764375229 Manufacturer No: H3752

The Richie Rich Scooby-Doo Show was a 1980 Saturday morning regular on ABC television and the hour-long program featured three short Richie Rich cartoons based on the Harvey comics, a very brief Richie Rich Gem, and three short Scooby Doo cartoons with Scooby, Shaggy, and Scooby's nephew Scrappy. This two-disc compilation contains the first seven episodes of the season and finds Richie Rich, his dog Dollar, and robot maid Irona in every imaginable sort of predicament and Scooby, Shaggy, and Scrappy in one spooky locale after another. Richie's extensive home security system is constantly being tested by thieves and updated by the absent-minded Professor Keenbean in episodes like "Piggy Bank Prank," "Robot Nappers," and "The Blur" and Richie's robot maid Irona can always be counted upon to ensure Richie's safety, whether nursing him to health in "Silence is Golden," stopping an out of control road builder in "Constructo," or battling a potential robot replacement in "Miss Robot America." What shines far brighter than the simple safeguarding of wealth throughout each of the episodes is Richie's unfailing devotion to friends, family, and doing good. Everyone knows that Scooby, Shaggy, and Scrappy have an uncanny knack for stumbling upon the creepiest, scariest situations possible and there are plenty of creepy ghouls, scary chase scenes, and funny moments in this compilation which includes "Swamp Witch," "Mummy's the Word," and "Scooby's Bull Fight" among others. What's unique about these Scooby Doo episodes is that they do not include Fred, Daphne, and Velma in the cast like the Scooby-Doo, Where are You? and What's New, Scooby-Doo? series and Scooby, Shaggy, and Scrappy don't really solve mysteries in these episodes as much as careen from one scary situation to another. While these classic cartoons seem dated at times (gas is referenced as "over $1 a gallon" in one Richie Rich episode, and the animation just can't compete with contemporary animation), both programs are classics that will appeal both to adults who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s and a whole new generation of children.

Rating: - Awesome
Awsome, just like I remember on television. I love the dog, Money, and how Rosie always seems top halp save the day. My three year old and I love watching these over and over!

Rating: - A fun cartoon and a comment on the H-B collections...
Not the greatest choice, but not the worst...and certainly NOT a 'Classic'. It seems like Warner Bros. is trying to milk the Scooby-Doo franchise for all it's worth at this point. The show is fun and Scrappy-Doo isn't nearly as bad as I remembered him being. Richie Rich was a real treat to revisit. The cartoons look and sound great...the kids will love it...the adult collectors might not.

These last two entries in the Hanna-Barbera Golden/Classic Collections, RR/SD Hour and The Smurfs ... Read More

Rating: - Great Set!
I am delighted to see the original opening title sequence for this series once again (with Scrappy switching on the stage lights to reveal the show's full title).

Warner Video should prep for volumes 2 and 3!

Rating: - Buy it for the Bonus Features
Regardless of your opinion of the Hanna-Barbera "Richie Rich Show", you
really should pick up "The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show" DVD just for
the bonus feature about Richie Rich. It features new interviews with
Jerry Beck, Mark Evanier, Scott Shaw!, and Sid Jacobson among others,
and is worth the price of the DVD.

Then you can have more fun by throwing tomatoes at your screen when
Scrappy comes on.

I suppose I'll write the first review now that the product has actually been released. I consider myself a child of the 80s, although this 1980 series pre-dates my ability to remember the original airing by at least a couple of years. However, having watched the set I recognize several of the episodes from later syndication and remember enjoying these a lot.

We have here two dual-layer (no double-sided) DVDs. The contents are divided into individual Richie Rich and Scooby Doo show segments, ... Read More
