Rating: Summary: Essential for Scooby Fans Review: I will probably always see "Scooby Doo On Zombie Island" as the ultimate Scooby flick. But this video tape is absolutely essential for anyone who is a fan of Scooby Doo. (FIRST EPISODE) This witch and zombie tale nails down the formula for most of Scooby's episodes. There is a normal start, but yet a creepy setting as well. We meet one of the 'supernatural characters.' Then we are exposed to the possible (or to be more accurate) the official story that supposedly explains the presence of the supernatural. (Granted, we know it probably isn't.) But there are some scenes that allow us for at least a moment or two to accept the possibility of the supernatural. (When the witch travels down the raft with the zombie, the witch's house, etc.) The disappearance of Daphne creates some suspense. Then some clues begin to appear that the supposed supernatural is really linked to some very human criminal activity. (SECOND EPISODE) The scenery allows for a normal start, but still provides a creepy setting. The 1st sighting of the ghost is comical, and Velmah carries the whole gang. (Not unlike her moment in 'Hassle In the Castle.') Shaggy has a memorable one liner here and there: 'This ski trip has turned into a real scare trip.' Scooby's sudden separation from Shaggy and Velmah creates some suspense. Scooby has a very heroic moment. The recluse is an interesting guest star, and the flashback is well done. (THIRD EPISODE) The story starts normal enough with an adventure trip. Daphne's disappearance creates some suspense. We also have the luxury of being haunted by several monsters in this episode. Scooby and Shaggy come off a little braver than usual, and we get to see their reaction to a bad menu. Scooby and Shaggy also get lost, and we get to see them pass the time. There is even some irony when Scooby and Shaggy unknowingly give the bad guy what he is looking for. Alright. The bad guy's slip seems a little fake, but that's alright seeing what a great episode this is. (FINAL EPISODE) We have the guest star of Scooby Dum which adds some charm. We are given time to wonder what the bad guy's motives are. As in good horror, we are made nervous around characters who aren't really a threat and relaxed around those who we probably should worry about. Without giving away the ending, they nail down a true aspect of horror. (Horror comes not from a bad guy being unmasked, but from realizing that we were betrayed by someone we really thought we could trust.) These 4 episodes show some of Scooby's strongest moments. DO NOT let this video tape get away!
Rating: Summary: Cartoon Network literally killed Scooby Doo! Review: I'm a Big fan of Scooby Doo. But I wouldn't I repeat wouldn't buy the DVD. Do not buy the DVD. Order Cartoon Network if you don't already have it. Cartoon Network played Scooby more times than one could keep track of. IF you pay close attention you'll notice that the same episode is played twice in one day or maybe three of four times. I suggest you record the 13 ghosts of scooby doo instead. The monsters are real at least. Tape Ghoul School, Scooby and Relunctant Werewolf and Boo Brothers. Cartoon network will give more than enough hours of scooby till you're either bored or till you're ready to tape it again.
Rating: Summary: My 3 year old loves it! Review: I've seen the other reviews. I did not purchase this video for me, I purchased it for my 3 year old little boy! And Scooby-Dum or not, he loves it! Episode after Episode - any video that has 3 or 4 movie flicks is GREAT for me AND my little guy! These movies are part of the original Scooby-Doo's - not too scary and not too mature for little ones. I've seen the new Scooby-Doo movies and they're NOT Appropriate for children under 5! If you've got a little one- this video is GREAT!

Rating: Summary: More classic episodes from the best year of the show Review: The first season of "Scooby Doo Where Are You?" was by far the best and these 4 episodes are great examples of why this show has been so popular over the years. "That's Snow Ghost" is probably my favorite of the 4, but they are all great. These episodes were made before they started adding characters like Scooby Dumb and Scrappy Doo, which killed the show. If you like Scooby Doo then you will definitely like these episodes.
Rating: Summary: beware! Scooby-dumb Review: The package doesn't mention that they snuck two episodes with Scooby-Dumb ( The three stooges equivalent to Joe ) into the DVD....

Rating: Summary: Good classic cartoon Review: Zoinks! This Dvd features 4 classic Scooby Doo Where Are You episodes + 1 bonus halloween day classic episode. 3 of the episodes are the 1969 season for me the best and the two other are from 1976 season where the show is called the Scooby Doo Show and features a new character Scooby Dum brother of Scooby Doo. It contains the mexican spanish dubbing as they broadcast in Spain. A classic for any Scub fan. Scooby Doooooo!!!!
