This DVD set contains the second, third and fourth seasons of the late eighties early nineties series, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo. Shaggy, Scooby, Daphne, Velma and Freddy all star in this series similar to the original Scooby-Doo Where Are You? mystery format only as four children and a puppy solving Mysteries around Coolsville as the Scooby-Doo Detective Agency. The set contains the following 17 episodes:

14 Curse of the Collar
15 The Return of Commander Cool
16 The Spirit of Rock'n Roll
17 Chickenstein Lives!
18 Night of the Living Burger
19 The Computer Walks Among Us
20 Dog Gone Scooby
21 Terror, thy Name is Zombo (aka Roller Ghoster Ride!)
22 Night of the Boogey Biker
23 Dawn of the Spooky Shuttle Scare
24 Wrestle Maniacs
25 Horror of the Haunted Hairpiece
26 The Mayhem of the Moving Mollusk
27 The Ghost of Mrs Shusham
28 Cather on the Sly
29 The Wrath of Wait-Ro
30 The Weredog of Doo Manor

Remember these were made back in 89', the animation still looks great considering, and the characters are all molded more to the style and lingo of that era with a little sixties style thrown in as a callback to the original series. The set will also contain a bonus episode of Shaggy and Scooby Get A Clue called Party Arty.

If you're looking at this because you are a fan of the episodes or just like Scooby-Doo you will enjoy them and the price is certainly right. If you're looking at this for your children all I can say is I find it better and with more lessons to be found than the more recent Scooby-Doo series. I prefer this to Get A Clue or the later What's New Scooby-Doo.

I enjoy the episode theme's and find there is humor to be found in aspects such as a recurring character named Red Herring, who Freddy always claims to be the one responsible though he rarely ever was. Humor is there for adults who remember the earlier series and this show also does a great job expanding elements from that time, such as this series being set in Coolsville and frequently having the gang's detective agency reach out to help family member's or relatives as was a recurring theme in the original series. This series also gives us a closer look at the character's backrounds, immediate family members and gives nice explanation to how the Mystery Inc. gang got started in the mystery solving business.

Though my favorite will always be the original Scooby-Doo Where Are You? episodes that I grew up watching in syndication, I feel A Pup Named Scooby-Doo does a fine job in carrying on the legacy and making it accessible to preschool ages while still being fun enough for older children and enjoyable for anyone who loves Scooby-Doo. Amazing Price, seventeen episodes, interesting plotlines and many callbacks to the original series. I give this 5 stars for anyone who is a fan of Scooby-Doo and the gang.

This is one of the funniest Scooby series to date. I enjoyed it years ago, and it's still funny today. It should get 5 stars from me now, except for the "ghostly" images I see onscreen. You see, Warner didn't take the time to remaster these, kind of like the old Scooby series. It had a lot of whiteness in it, adding an afterimage to some of the characters. Plus, the series itself is closed-captioned for the hearing impaired, but not the chase or theme songs. Kind of strange. If you can look past that, then the series is really fun to watch. It's nice to see where the Scooby-Doo Detective Agency got their start and how much the characters have changed over the years as you watch them today. What I would have liked to see is how they all met. That would be interesting. Give this series a try if you're a Scooby fan. You'll like it!

My 3 year old grandson loves this DVD. He watches it over and over. As the adult reviewing this product it is very poor quality. Very grainy images in a lot of the shows. It can be overlooked if your child loves A Pup Named Scooby Doo as much as my grandson does. He doesn't seem to notice the poor quality but then he does love that "baby scooby doo".

My 3yr old loves scooby, she already had the other dvd for this collection and was missing this one. Cute episodes and at a very good price!

I got this for my 4yr old daughter and she loves it! There are so many episodes on this DVD and it is a wonderful bargain.

I ordered this for my daughter's second birthday, I loved a pup named scooby-doo when I was younger. It's alot better then watching the dorky cartoons they have out these days we can enjoy it together.

I remember watching this when I was a kid and was pleased to see the second, third and fourth season out to buy for a very good price. My eight year old daughter now loves watching this cartoon and finds it as funny as I do. She thinks the tiny version of Velma is very cute. I was very happy with the amount of time the dvd took to arrive and the packaging was in good condition.

It is nice kids movie and my kids love Scooby Doo and the gang. I would buy a whole collcetion of Scooby Doo movies.

We love Scooby-Doo. It is fun watching the gang as children and scooby as a pup.
Great mysteries. Worth watching over and over.

Who DOESN'T like Scooby-Doo??!! Quick shipping! I'm deployed overseas, so I was trying to order this in time for Christmas to ship back for my wife to wrap up and throw under the tree. Ordered it around the 10th of December and it got there in two or three days.

I have a five year old and a thirteen year old. My five year old loves all the ol' school "Scooby" and "Pup Named...". While my 13 yr-old has "outgrown" a lot of cartoons, she still watches this with her lil' sis.
