My 8 and 3 year boys love this, as they do all the Scooby Doo's, and Mom and Dad remember it from growing up, so it brings us good memories, too.

I had been waiting a long time for the 10,000 Volt Ghost ("Watt a Shocking Ghost" on Disc 2), so I was happy that it was finally available. However, I wasn't happy to have to shell out Dynomutt dollars to get it... I also like "The Ghost of the Bad Humor Man" (Disc 4, side 2) with the chocolate, vanilla & strawberry ghosts. Sixteen sets of episodes - I haven't had time to go through them yet, but I wish the menus would let you choose to "Play Scooby Only".

This is not the complete series. If you go to Hanna Barbera's website, there is 24 episodes listed under the Scooby-Doo Dynomutt Hour. This collection only contains 16. What happened to the other 8? If you absolutely can't wait for the full collection, then buy it, but if you're waiting for all 24, then it's better to hold off.

Great idea to put these out in the original one hour show combining both Scooby & Dynomutt stories, but WHY COULDN'T WARNER HAVE INCLUDED THE ORIGINAL "SCOOBY DOO/DYNOMUTT HOUR" BEGIN THEME?
Is it their hobby to annoy their fans?
Why also, did they only release 15 of the 24 episodes of the previous series "The New Scooby Doo Movies", when they made the set? That's why I didn't buy it.
WARNER TAKE NOTE ONCE AND FOR ALL: We don't want sample "Best of..." episodes. We want full serieses.
How about the original 13 episode "Sealab 2020" being put out on DVD, instead of the modern send-up Sealab 2021?
It can't be that hard, Warner.

This DVD contains only the 16 episodes from 1976, which some people think of as Season 1 of "The Scooby Doo Show". As a Scooby Doo aficianado I can say that this newest installment from Hanna Barbera is a "good enough" addition to a Scooby collection. I think I must have enjoyed the cartoons more as a child; they don't seem to hold up well to repeat viewing now. Arguably, the Scooby/Dynomutt Show was a weak Saturday morning addition, even in my fond recollections, primarily because Dynomutt and Blue Falcon are so fricking annoying. But it is a nice walk down memory lane, and you can skip over the Dynomutt episodes anyways.
For those who are concerned about the "missing" 24 episodes from 1977 and 1978, sixteen of them (from 1978) will be released on the up-coming "Scooby Doo, Where Are You? Series 3". No word on the 8 episodes from 1977.
I think the confusion is coming in because there were 40 episodes that were generally thought of as falling under the name "The Scooby Doo Show", but in fact they were actually broadcast as:
(1) "Scooby/Dynomutt Hour" (16 episodes- 1976, plus 16 Dynomutt episodes, as originally televised) **available**
(2) "All Star Laff-a-Lympics" (8 episodes - 1977) **not released to DVD**
(3) "Scooby Doo, Where are you?" (16 episodes - 1978) **soon to be released to DVD**
