Title: Scooby Doo Movies, The Best of Collection...
Review: I purchased this collection back in the spring and I have watched it numerous times. The program, as it aired on TV, featured a much different opening sequence. The sequence I grew up seeing featured the various guest stars/celebrities appearing in the opening, too, but the sequence that appears in the openings of the cartoons featured on this project feature scenes taken from various episodes found on the collection.Before going any further, one thing I should mention, this project is clearly titled The Best of The New Scooby-Doo Movies on both the DVD box and in the description on Amazon's product page. If a potential customer purchases this and EXPECTS the ENTIRE series and is therefore disappointed that all the episodes aren't included, it's the customer's fault for not reading the title of what they were purchasing.That being said, there are 15 full length episodes of the hour-long series. Minus commercial breaks that occur on TV, the hour episodes are essentially 40-45 minutes each. The 15 episodes are spread out among 4 discs. There are four episodes on the first four discs and three episodes on the fourth disc. A minor quibble from me is the erroneous labeling of 2 of the celebrities. Once you purchase the collection and take it out of it's box you'll see various illustrations. There is a section titled All-Star Cast and it has the guest stars faces in front of images of stars. The people that put the collection together show the faces of Laurel and Hardy...but they have the names listed under the wrong person. Underneath Stan Laurel's face it reads 'Hardy' and underneath Oliver Hardy's face it reads 'Laurel'. Hardy is the one that had the small mustache. Laurel is the thin one.I liked all of the episodes but the ones that I liked the most are the 2 episodes with Batman and Robin (the Professor Flaky character is hilarious); the 2 episodes with Don Knotts; the three guest starring The Harlem Globetrotters; the Jonathan Winters episode; the Speed Buggy episode and the episodes featuring The Three Stooges. In "Spooky Fog", Scooby and the gang find themselves in Juneberry (a parody of Mayberry, but set in the West). Don Knotts portrays the local deputy and the sheriff is named Dandy Griffith (!). In Don's other episode, "Guess Who's Not Coming to Dinner", he goes through a series of disguises in a haunted house setting...believing Scooby and the gang to be bad guys...but he ends up revealing himself to be a private detective on a case involving an eccentric's fortune.Batman and Robin appear in an episode involving Joker and Penguin participating in a counterfeit operation. Scooby and the gang assist the super heroes and everything comes to a conclusion inside a house that literally flips upside down. In the Dynamic Duo's other guest appearance, Joker and Penguin have to be stopped from stealing an inventor's flying suit invention. That episode features a character named Professor Flaky who often jumbles up his words while nervous. "This is a kine fettle of kish" translates to "this is a fine kettle of fish"; "Net Nocessarily" translates to "not necessarily"; "Do-namic Dye-O" translates to "Dynamic Duo", etc. etc.Jonathan Winters portrays himself and voices a character based on his Maude Frickert creation in "The Frickert Fracas". It's in this episode that Maude tells Fred that he reminds her of her idol, Glen Campbell. The episode's plot revolves around a magical formula that supposedly causes chickens and other animals to grow to an enormous size. The formula turns out to be a hoax, though.One of the more surreal episodes happens when Scooby and the gang team up with Speed Buggy and his human friends. It's surreal in the fact that Scooby-Doo (the original 1969-1971 series) spawned a long list of mystery solving cartoons from Hanna-Barbera throughout the '70s and into the early '80s and it's fascinating/surreal to see both sets of mystery solving characters share the same screen time. Tinker, a character in the Speed Buggy franchise, could pass as Shaggy's brother or cousin. Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Velma, and Daphne pair up with Speed Buggy, Tinker, Mark, and Debby to solve the mystery of a howling wind in a town called Winona in an episode titled "The Weird winds of Winona".That kind of thing happened in another episode, not featured in this DVD collection, which had Scooby and the gang meeting Josie and the Pussycats. The thing that made that episode more surreal is the fact that Scooby's original concept, a group of teenage musicians solving mysteries between rock and roll performances, eventually became the premise of Josie and the Pussycats and the concept would later re-surface in the Jabberjaw series. In these three cartoons: Josie and the Pussycats, Speed Buggy, and Jabberjaw, there were characters that could pass as relatives to Shaggy: Alexander Cabot, Tinker, and Clam Head.It would be something of dishonesty to say that I don't mind that all the episodes aren't here. I DO wish that a complete series had become available by now (it's been 8 years since this collection made it's debut in 2005) but knowing that this collection is a Best Of release, I knew going into it that all of the episodes wouldn't be available. A lot of my favorite episodes ARE on this collection...only a couple aren't. The one guest starring Jerry Reed is great...as is the one guest starring Sonny and Cher...but apparently a release featuring all of the episodes will never, ever come to be...and this is the only commercially available project of this particular series of Scooby-Doo episodes, too.

Title: Fun to see big stars with the gang
Review: These 43 minute episodes feature famous guest stars like Don Knotts, Dick Van Dyke, Don Adams, Cass Elliot (Mama Cass), the Harlem Globetrotters, Batman & Robin (with the Penguin & Joker as villains), the Three Stooges (not the real voices of Moe, Larry, and Curly Joel), and Laurel & Hardy (not the real actors voices) as well as others.There are some episodes missing due to licensing fees. You won't find the Addams Family or Jeannie here unfortunately. The episodes in this collection come from the two seasons broadcast in 1972-73.Special features include trailers of various cartoons like The Flintstones, 9 minute spotlight of Thelma & Daphne, and a couple of other 2005 featurettes with stars of that year reflecting on Scooby Doo for a few minutes.

Title: The Best of the New Scooby-Doo Movies
Review: The Best of the New Scooby-Doo MoviesLike most 80's kids, I grew up enjoying Scooby-Doo and many other Hanna-Barbera characters. The Best of the New Scooby-Doo Movies is a nice collection of episodes from the popular TV series. I regret that either more collections and/or the entire 2-season set of The New Scooby-Doo Movies hasn't been released.According to Wikipedia:"Upon attempting to release The New Scooby-Doo Movies on DVD in 2005, Warner Home Video was unable to negotiate agreements with several of the episodes' guest stars to have those episodes included in the DVD set. As a result, the DVD was released under the title The Best of the New Scooby-Doo Movies, and features fifteen episodes culled from both seasons.Furthermore, the images of The Addams Family, Batman & Robin, The Globetrotters, The Three Stooges, and Laurel & Hardy were voluntarily removed from The New Scooby-Doo Movies' opening titles, as their rights were controlled by their copyright owners. In Batman and Robin's case, this is despite the fact that they and their comics publisher, DC Comics, are part of the same Warner Bros. family as Scooby-Doo and the Hanna-Barbera library."I hope that Warner will be able to release the rest of this series in the future. That way, fans can enjoy episodes featuring the following guest stars: Phyllis Diller, Josie & The Pussycats, Jeannie, Sonny & Cher, Sandy Duncan, Tim Conway, The Addams Family, Davy Jones, and Jerry Reed.

Review: I know there are alot of SCOOBY dvd's out and about but for me this one does the trick !! I know you can buy some at any given store but you do not get as many as... you will on here ! It is well worth the price and even though they can NOT make all of them for print, at leat you can have some good fun with these ones. I have had the privalidge to watch them ALL back in the U.S.A. , as a child on a saturday morning, so this brings back some happy memories for me.There is a good, LEGAL, reason why they have not ALL COME OUT but due to the fact that, they may never do so... this is better than NO SCOOBY AT ALL !I say ...you can never have enough Scooby and I have back-ups just in case anything happens to mine and since these are a region . the cover alone, definitely lives up to my expectations.THERE MAY BE... problems in the transit course or the mail handlers banging them about and traveling around the word to get from point A to point B... BUT mine came all in one lovely boxed up set and nothing broken. I live in the U.K. and had to order these from back home and they got all the way to here with no problems and was packaged up pretty well.

Review: This collection has 15 episodes of the 1972 series. Unfortunately it doesn't include 9 episodes from that series but I still enjoyed these movies and liked watching Scooby and the gang interact with different guests. Some younger, newer fans may not really know who many of these guests are or were but I don't think these episodes are all that different from the regular Scooby Doo shows and most, if not all, fans should find them entertaining. The only language option is English Dolby Digital mono but there are English, French & Spanish subtitles and the set is close captioned.Disc 1 - Ghostly, Ghostly Town - The Three Stooges (42:50)The Dynamic Scooby Doo Affair - Batman & Robin (41:23)The Frickert Fracas - Jonathan Winters (43:22)Guess Who's Knott Coming To Dinner! - Don Knotts (43:22)Disc 2 - The Spooky Fog - Don Knotts (43:14)Scooby Doo Meets Laurel & Hardy - Laurel & Hardy (43:15)The Ghost Of The Red Baron - The Three Stooges (43:18)The Ghostly Creep From The Deep - The Harlem Globetrotters (43:04)Disc 3 - The Caped Crusader Caper - Batman & Robin (42:38)The Loch Ness Mess - The Harlem Globetrotters (43:19)The Mystery Of The Haunted Island - The Harlem Globetrotters (43:29)The Exterminator - Don Adams (43:38)Disc 4 - Weird Winds Of Winona - Speed Buggy (43:34)The Haunted Candy Factory - Mama Cass Elliot (43:20)Scooby Doo Meets Dick Van Dyke - Dick Van Dyke (43:20)Extras: featurettes - The Hanna Barbera Kennel Club Roasts Scooby Doo (5:08), Uptown With Scooby Doo And The Harlem Globetrotters (8:38), Girls Rock! (9:01) & trailers (7:24)
