Firstly, I have to comment on the price. WAAAY overpriced for what is being offered. Heck, I love Scooby as much as anyone, but I love him enough to want the COMPLETE SET of these and not some random pairing by some big wig in a very expensive suit I am funding.
Next of course I have to comment on what WAS picked... no Jerry Reed? C'mon, that episode practically defined this leg of the series. They seemed to pick the safe ones once again underestimating the fans.
I wouldn't mind dropping fifty on the COMPLETE SET but as it stands now, I'll wait to pick this up used, if at all, sad. Otherwise, I must say we Hanna fans are on a roll huh? I mean I haven't picked up Flinstones Season 3 quite yet but I am in disbelief on having the honor of getting them at all, a great time for Hanna fans! I'm not trying to be ungrateful for the Scooby set offered here but see no reason to suddenly cut corners and go "Best Of", etc., which almost never is anyway. I take it though by having this Best Of that there will be no follow-up.
Now... where's Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound...??? Just another small nit of mine... as much as I love the Top Cat set (luv ya TC!) and found the Wacky Races to be a bit lukewarm (being honest), I truly do not see the logic in releasing those ahead of the flagship stars like Yogi and company. Flinstones, yes. Jetsons, ok. But Wacky Races ahead of Huckleberry Hound? nEvEr!! Can't wait to have the HH when he keeps getting pestered by that mosquito!! C'mon W/B!

I pre-ordered mine 2 weeks ago. I examined the episodes included and couldn't understand why the folks didn't include the omitted episodes. They included some good ones but they should have at least kept the pink/red ending backgrounds together like the Don Knotts ones and the Sonny & Cher, etc., and the blue ending backgrounds together like the Don Adams, Tim Conway, Josie, Speed Buggy, etc. I gave it 4 stars because I love seeing the older cartoons being released. I now would like to see the original Space Ghosts, Frankenstein Jr/Impossibles, The Herculoids, Mightors, the Batman/Superman Hours (1968), JLA (1967), Secret Squirrels, etc. I can't wait for the Perils of Penelope and the Dastardly & Muttley ones.

While I am pleased that studios are digging deeper into their vaults and bringing back these classic shows, why should I pay for more "best of" when I want "complete". The Scooby Doo Movies gave us longer episodes, with some big name guests (for 1972) and made one great show. 5 stars out of 5 for content, but -2 stars for the poor distribition methods.

In my opinion this is a great compilation of episodes. I particularly enjoyed "Guess Who's Knott Coming to Dinner" with Don Knotts. It would have been nice to have a whole season together though.
