Summary: Here We GO AGAIN!!! RELEASE DIFFERENT ONES
Review: Actually, I give this video tape 3 1/2 stars. It belongs in any Scooby fan's collection. The FIRST episode is a little slow, but it offers some nice scenery. And the underwater action is something we don't see in every episode. The mislead is well placed, and Captain Cutler's (widow?) is an interesting guest star. Shaggy's comical moments are well placed: "I thought that rock looked suspicious." The SECOND episode is one of their finest. Rarely do spooky moments and comical moments go so well hand in hand. It starts normal enough with the gang on a cruise, and they get stranded on a spooky island. Like many good Scooby episodes, we know the ghost is probably fake. But, for a few moments here and there, we are at least allowed to accept the possibility of them being real. Even the level headed Fred shows some fear in this episode, and Velmah carries the gang in a moment of panic. The disappearance of Daphne causes some suspense. The villain himself is more amusing than repulsive in this episode. (Great!) And Shaggy's killer one liners are there. GHOST: "I warned you to leave. Now you will all pay." SHAGGY: "I'll pay! I'll pay! How about 4 bits?" In all honesty, this episode either keeps us laughing or makes us nervous. It is one of the best Scooby episodes out there. There is even a nice deviation from most Scooby episodes. The villain is an unusually good loser, and he offers some charm. The THIRD episode is yet another great one. It has a frightening realism to it and allows us to ask ourselves: 'What's more frightening? Ghosts or economics?' This episode is constructed the way a great book would be. The mention of the Creeper, some well placed irony, and his appearance. We are given time to wonder why he is after a paper. The Hermit is an interesting guest star. We get to see how generous Scooby and Shaggy can be when it comes to heading the clean up committee. (Cleaning up the food that is.) Shaggy's one liners are also there: "I know whose back you're on, but whose side are you on?" We also get to see Scooby and Shaggy avoid food for a change: "I just remembered, I'm on a squirrel free diet." Without ruining the ending for you, it is very PLAUSIBLE AND REALISTIC. Spooky moments, don't always come from ghost or witches. They also come when something is plausible and we can see it happening. If you like the Creeper, you will be pleased to know that he comes back for another round in "Scooby Doo and the Cyber Chase." The FINAL episode is on the weaker side. There simply are not enough characters, and you'll probably know what is going on right away. The creepy use of puppets compensates a little, but this episdoe really falls short of Scooby's usual strength and charm. FINAL WORD: One weak episode does not make this a bad tape. The other 3 episodes make this tape a vital part of any Scooby library.

Summary: Same Episodes Again!
Review: As most people have stated, this DVD has 2 or 3 episodes that are already available on other Scooby compilations. We fans have to figure out how to petition Warner if we want to see other episodes released!

Summary: Repeat Episodes by a Scooby Fanatic
Review: If your purchase the complete 25 episodes of seasons 1 & 2, Scobby-Doo Where Are You? then the four episodes on this dvd are already included there. I agree with other reviews that we do not need several dvds with repeat episodes. Until they release newer material we will continue to have this issue. The episodes are 1) Hassle in the Castle, 2) A Clue for Scooby-Doo, 3)The Backstage Rage, and 4) Jeepers, It's the Creeper.

Summary: Yes, it's Scooby! Some shows from the '76 series next time.
Review: Now, I know Scooby fans voted for the episodes on this tape, but couldn't they have selected a bit better? 'The Back Stage Rage' here is by far the best selection here and the other three pale compared to this. In what was unusual for the '69 show this features very good plot/mystery elements (compared to the superior '76 shows that followed) and builds very well from the opening on the lonely street with Shaggy and Scooby. 'Hassle in the Castle' - pass. Can we see a plot here or just endless chase sequences? Good music and castle artwork, though. 'A Clue for Scooby Doo' is good just for the scene where they talk to the old sea dog. The design of this character is just what makes Scooby, Scooby. A classic stereotype of the old dock worker and very creepy! This entire episode was re-worked and bettered in the '76 show 'The Diablo Doero'. The 'Creeper' episode is again, one long chase, and great if you don't want a plot to get in the way of the fleeing. It is a shame they couldn't have done more with the character design. On future tapes could we have some of the great episodes from the '76 series 'The Scooby Doo Show'? I'm talking about 'The Phantom Racer', 'It's that Geezer, Ebeneser!' and 'The Menace in Venice'. It are these episodes that make Scooby the best animated show - ever. Oh, and release on DVD as well next time.

Summary: Finally! A worthwhile Scooby Doo video!
Review: Scooby Doo Where Are You is one of the most distinctive and trend setting cartoons, with the original episodes as fresh and fun today as they were THIRTY years ago! This video has four episodes, three of which are definite classics. 'Jeepers Its the Creeper' is the most fun, with hilarious scenes involving Shaggy, Scooby, and a baby chick. Also, it's nice to see the gang's social side, cavorting at a dance with their school chums. The Creeper is definitely a creepy villain! 'A Clue for Scooby Doo' is also a great episode. The scenes of the gang's trap going wrong and Scooby all sudsed up in an out-of-control boat are so much fun! 'Hassle in the Castle' is my favorite. It has a great sense of atmosphere during the castle scenes, with eerie, dark backgrounds and scary music. Plus, the comedy is funny as usual! A great mix of laughs and chills. 'The Backstage Rage' is okay, as any Scooby episode is, but is weak overall. Not too many thrills, and not as much comedy. I'm surprised this was picked by fans as a favorite episode. A more video-worthy episode is 'Spooky Space Kook.' But, at least these episodes are from the original 1969 series and not the dreaded follow-ups! The hour long celebrity movies are just awful, with no-action animation and threadbare plots stretched out beyond endurance. And please, no Scrappy!! The very first Scooby Doo Where Are You is very much a classic, and let's hope there are many more episodes coming to video!

Summary: BEWARE this is just a re-release of titles on other DVDs.
Review: These mysteries are so great, they have already been released on DVD! Warners must hope you will keep buying the same titles for your kids as long as they are re-packaged. Sooner or later they will know they are getting the same stories. As for us adult fans who grew up on these, we already know. There are at least 13 original mysteries still not released on DVD, but Warners just wants to keep giving us the same 13 already released. I'm glad I looked up the titles before buying this rehash DVD.
