Summary: I know it's a FIVE before I even own it ! !
Review: As a 30 year old man, I should probably be embarrased by the fact that I'm terribly excited that the original episodes are being released in this format. Despite the predictable plots, the cliche humor, and the peculiar fact that the Gang ran into unearthly or undead beings every time they went out for a soda, these early episodes contain something magical...a particular endearing quality like that stuffed animal that comforted you for years and slept next to you in bed. Sure, as an adult you don't sleep with stuffed animals anymore...But maybe the world would be a better place if we did. Innocence isn't lost forever, it just goes to sleep for a while. DVD is waking the Gang up and I'm going to wake up with them to experience the laughs and frights all over again. Given the progression of things, I don't think there will ever be cartoons like this produced again. These are classics in every sense of the word.

Summary: Pretty pointless DVD
Review: Don't get me wrong. I totally dig Scooby Doo. But what is the point in this DVD. The 5 certain episodes on the disc are repeated ad nauseum on Cartoon Network along with all of the other old and funky late '60's/early '70s shows. It would have made a worthwhile purchase had there been some decent extras but all we get is some very slight, kiddie-orientated rubbish and very brief clips of Scooby songs from the 'Scooby Jukebox'. Even the sound is still in mono and the animation doesn't look like it's been cleaned up. So there really is no point in owning this unless you have a child who loves Scooby so much that they cannot wait a couple of days for either of these 5 episodes to air on TV.

Summary: Scooby Doo deserves better than this!
Review: First off, Scooby Doo is my favorite Saturday morning series ever, and my 3-year-old loves it as much as I did when I was growing up. The stories, the music and the animation are all fun, so I was tickled when I found this DVD and got it to share with my son. He loves the DVD and watches it over and over, but every time we watch it, all I can see are the dust spots and scratches that are everywhere. It looks like the prints were gathering dust since 1969 and they never even bothered to clean the film before they slapped it in the duplicator! In some places, it's so bad that you watch pieces of fuzz blow across the picture while the action goes on. Come on, guys! Scooby Doo is a great property, so at least make sure the releases are quality work and not [something that] looks like you picked it up off the floor and sold it to us!

Summary: Scooby Doo is in a class by itself.
Review: Folks we bought this for my 2 year old. I grew up watching Scooby Doo and loved it. This DVD is high quality considering the original animation is not digital. My son treats this DVD like a shrine. He is truly in love with this DVD. I think all five episodes are good. Like other reviewers I wish they would release more episodes. Your kids will love this and since DVDs don't wear, you can view it over and over and over and over like my son has. Stephen

Summary: Absolutely essential for your collection!
Review: Get a big bowl of your favorite sugar coated cereal, and turn off all the lights in the room to watch this one. For Scooby fans, this is a real treat. The images are clean and the colors are bright, especially considering this is a 30 year old cartoon. Looks great on a TV, but on a laptop computer the clarity of the LCD screen reveals every spec of dust on the film. You can see every place they painted outside the black ink lines, and if you look closely, you can see the thin shadows between the celluloid overlays and the painted backgrounds. In the opening, you can see the grass in front of the castle bouncing up and down when the bats fly across the screen. Of course, none of this shows up on a television. Also look for a shot of Velma wearing lipstick when Hank, the caretaker, tells the kids about the "Miner 49er". Jinkies, that's creepy! The special features are lame, so buy it for the episodes, but buy it! I hope they release more of Scooby on DVD.

Summary: Scooby Doo We Love You
Review: I always loved the show and 2 of my 3 kids ages 6 & 2 LOVE this DVD! I really enjoyed watching the old shows again. I still admire the clever way that they were really mysteries, and not just scary. We also saw the new Scooby Doo Witch DVD, and it was awful. It wasn't clever or mysterious, just creepy and weird for small children. However Scooby-Doo's Original Mysteries won us back.

Summary: Good!
Review: I didn't watch Scooby Doo when I was a kid but got into watching it when I came across it on the Cartoon Network and now it's one of my favorite cartoons so I bought this DVD and it's really good though I would personally love to own complete seasons on DVD but this is great until then!

Summary: Find things you never saw before
Review: I got this for my 2 year old...Mistake, I know have watched it 16 million times because it is her favorite. My fun comes in looking for edit errors. Velma having the wrong lips...Scooby without spots...shaggy with Fred's hair. Just giving you something to look for as you turn on the Scooby Doo episodes for your kid the 6 millionth time. It is a great collection and I hope they put others out soon. (I know the black night almost word for word)

Summary: Scooby-Doo's Original Mysteries
Review: I grew up with Scooby as a child and it's a great feeling to see my 3 and a 1/2 year old enjoying the great antics of that crazy Mystery Machine crew. The colors are great, the transfer is also very good especially when you consider all the poor stuff out there. I highly recommend this for anyone, child or adult. I just wish they would continue the series on DVD on a regular basis.
