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.

When I heard that this collection video was going to be released I eagerly awaited it's arrival at local retail stores, even though I have seen each episode numerous times. But I didn't OWN them! Especially the episode "Jeepers, It's the Creeper!" which is one of, if not my all time favorite Scooby Doo episode(s). But each story is great in its own right. In "A Clue For Scooby-Doo!" a ghostly deep sea diver keeps the gang and Scooby on their toes. In "Hassle in the Castle" the gang finds an island castle and its resident spirit. In "Jeepers, It's the Creeper!" a green, Frankensteinish hunchback chases Scooby and Co. in order to keep money he has stolen from the local bank. And in "The Backstage Rage" a spooky puppetmaster tries to pull off a counterfeiting operation, but not with Scooby around! All in all this is fun Scooby Doo viewing, with extra between episode footage and a bonus Powerpuff Girls cartoon this is a surefire hit with kids, minus commercial interuption. If you are a fan of Scooby Doo this is a very necessary purchase for your video collection. This is one Scooby Snack you can't afford to miss!

Best Deals for Scooby-Doo's Greatest Mysteries (1969)

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.

Honest reviews on Scooby-Doo's Greatest Mysteries (1969)

We got this video about a month ago and my little daughter seems to watch it at least once a day. I, too, indulge, bringing back great memories of my late '70s/early '80s childhood--Scooby was on every day at 4 PM, but man did we dislike it when Scrappy came into the picture! This video, however, is just Scooby and the gang, enhanced by "Behind the Scenes" segments which are a riot--I'm surprised none of the other reviewers said anything about them. As far as the episodes, by far the best is the one about the Creeper. Just imagine, the likelihood that an older bank president would dress up as a Frankenstein lookalike and run around saying "Greeper!" while jumping out of second-story windows! It's also a scream to see Thelma lose her glasses, and instead of helping her, Fred and Daphne (what a babe) take off running when they see the Creeper. It's also slightly violent, as Scooby kicks the Creeper with both hind legs as hard as he can. And I love that song they play called "Daydreamer, head in the sand." As for the other episodes, the only other great one is the one about the puppets. Listen closely: every time a character says "Pietro," they pronounce it differently. I have a theory that each character's voice overdubs were done on different days, and none of the actors knew how to pronounce it. Finally, the video ends with a cartoon by the Power Puff girls which I feel is out-of-place. It has too much of a "hip, '90s" feel to it and might not be appropriate for really young children. Why was it included? Who knows, some A&R guy probably suggested it.

I wanted a few episodes to pop into the dvd player once in a while (nostalgic trip down Saturday morning lane), and I didn't feel the need to buy an entire season box set of this show. A little goes a long way.

This is perfect because it features just a few shows for a quick Scooby fix.
