The story
Join Scooby-Doo and the gang in their various adventures in this compilation series including episodes from the Scooby-Doo Where Are You.
The Scooby-Doo Show recap
After moving from CBS to ABC, the gang returns to half-hour mysteries in the style of the original show: a stop in a new town, a monster scaring off the locals, a chase, a trap and an unmasking. The difference is that the cast grows. Scooby's goofy country cousin, Scooby-Dum, joins the gang on several cases, and his slow-witted enthusiasm adds to Shaggy and Scooby's panic. Velma is now voiced by Pat Stevens. The 40 episodes first aired as segments inside larger packages: The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour in 1976, Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics in 1977, and in 1978 Scooby's All-Stars and a new run under the old Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! title. The episodes were collected as The Scooby-Doo Show in reruns from 1980.
The Scooby-Doo Show ending explained
The Scooby-Doo Show ended without a finale. Its last new mysteries aired on ABC in December 1978, and each case simply closed with another unmasking, with no wrap-up for the gang or Scooby-Dum. The next series, Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo (1979), kept the full gang but added Scooby's nephew Scrappy, who would change the franchise's format for the next several years.
