Nice -- will likely pick this up.

Well according to chart above, there shoul be 89 episodes of PS scooby-doo, yet this set only has 41 episodes on 7 discs, so its not even all of it.

You are correct.

The issue is that there were several runs of pre-scrappy Scooby-Doo, the original Where are You?, The New Scooby-Doo Movies, and what is known as The Scooby-Doo show, which was teamed with other shows (Dyno-Mutt, Laff-a-Lympics) during the original run and is considered a different, hour long, series as far as original complete television seasons are concerned. For whatever reason the Scooby portion of Scooby-All Stars was released as Where Are You? season 3, skipping right over the Laff-a-Lympics season. If the Laff-a-Lympics gets a complete release, we can hope that the Scooby portions are included, but for right now it looks as if this "complete" series only applies to the already released Where Are You? seasons.

From what I remember as a kid, all the Scooby episodes were in syndication and mixed with each other, sometimes without the matching half-hour of the other cartoon, regardless of how they were originally aired. As a Scooby completist, I just care about the Scooby episodes. Sure I enjoy Dyno-Mutt, but I wouldn't have purchased that set if it wasn't for the Scooby-Doo portion. I really just want the final 8 episodes and that calling this set "Complete", while technically accurate, is load double-dipping bullcrap.

I didn't buy the season 3, just looked that has 16 ep, so with the S1-2 set has 25 episodes, all you get is the package. The 1-hr specials with Batman and Globetrotters comes in "The New Scooby-Doo Movies" but lacks those 9 ep which were most of the best, are those other 9 out on anything?

Trevor

They are part of the 1972-1973 season of 24 episodes of The New Scooby-Doo Movies.

if this is limited packaging then I will wait on this release. To many releases in quarter 4 and not enough money.

Trevor

Hey!

Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics is out on DVD.

I just bought it at Target, where it looks like an exclusive. It comes in two volumes of 4 episodes each, $10n per iirc. Volume 1 includes bonuses of two digital episodes, and an episode from the series Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue.
Ignore me! Just the Laff-A-Lympic segments, not the Scooby-Doo segments.

Jedi Master 33

I think he was just counting complete season releases.

Trevor

Actually, the more I look at it, I'll have to retract my post. Those Target releases (and volume 1 is everywhere now, with volume 2 going everywhere come October) appear to be just the Laff-A-Lympic segments of the two hour block. Sorry!

I got excited at the possiblility of the "missing" episodes being released with the current Laff-a-Lympics discs, but was very sad to see these only include the Laff-a-Lympics segments. I can hoping that Laff-a-Lympics will get a full season release, including the Scooby-Doo Show segments.

I don't expect the unreleased New Scooby-Doo Movies to ever be available legitimately, the rights negotiations are probably a nightmare. iirc that set was had a higher than usual MSRP when it was released, most likely due to royalties, etc. The current Best of set contains all released episodes, there's no need to buy the Batman and Globetrotters single releases.

Brewc

I seen that, that set is is missing 9 ep is there anywhere to get those other 9? Those are ones I conside some of the best, loved the Adaams Family one.

Trevor

Just the same place where everything ever made is freely available.

But I doubt that we'll ever get a legitimate release of all of those episodes. too many multiple company rights issues.

Brewc

I picked up a S-3 of the current release at Walmart it was $10, after I got all of the 1 hr movies and working on putting to DVD, after that those will satisfy me.

The Monkees

What I find odd is that 1 of the 9 missing episodes was "Scooby-Doo Meets Josie & the Pussycats"... why was that left out? J&TPC is owned by the same company that owns Scooby-Doo so what made that episode unable to be included?

Jedi Master 33

If I remember correctly it was because the rights to Josie & the Pussycats were owned by the original creators at the time of the Scooby set being released, and WB wasn't able to clear the rights until two years later.

Spottedfeather

They should've done it like the A-Team complete set and have the back of the van open up so that the keepcases could slide into it.

The Monkees

Ah, I didn't know that... and now I know and knowing's half the battle

Jedi Master 33

TheDuke

So cool! I never got the DVD sets, so I will definitely get this!

The Monkees

Really? A whole 35 minutes of featurettes?? What a rip off. That makes me angry.

smurr05

I definately agree with you!

mdnitoil

It's certainly a good measure of how bad your OCD sickness is. Double dipping for 35 minutes is difficult to justify under the best of circumstances.
