Editorial Reviews

They're four kids who have next to nothing in common; they have no visible means of support, parents, or responsibilities; they travel as much as they want, wherever they want; they have a dog whom they've addicted to a treat--and they use the dog to do anything they deem too dangerous to do themselves. Oh, and they regularly take the law into their own hands, trespassing and breaking and entering whenever it suits them. This is a kids show?

Looking back, it's sometimes tough to figure out what really made Scooby-Doo so popular, and the four episodes included here--chosen by a Warner Bros. Online poll--don't really go that far in explaining the phenomenon. Hassle in the Castle, the first episode, has virtually no plot (the gang is out boating in the fog when they run aground on a haunted island); in A Clue for Scooby Doo, the fivesome sinks a husband-and-wife pirating scam; The Backstage Rage is a step up, and involves the gang's foiling a puppeteer's counterfeit operation. The last episode, Jeepers, It's the Creeper, asks more questions than it answers--it opens with the gang headed out to their school dance, and no other students ever show up.

It's hard to believe that any collection of fan favorites wouldn't include any of Scooby and the crew's classic team-ups (with Batman and Robin, Laurel and Hardy, etc.). With all the other Scooby compilations available, this one has dubious claim to the title Greatest Mysteries. --Randy Silver

1.0 out of 5 stars Here We GO AGAIN!!! RELEASE DIFFERENT ONES, February 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Scooby-Doo's Greatest Mysteries (DVD)

Well Warner is releasing duplicate episodes again. why don't they put all the scooby-doos out. They have 5 DVDs of cartoons out and Hassle in the Castle is on 3 of them. 3 out of the 4 episodes on this DVD are already on DVD. I don't think anyone should pay 15 dollars for only episode that isn't released yet!!!I am getting the other ones that are coming out though. So in short I don't reccommend this to anyone. Not only that, they are wasting a whole DVD for only 4 eps. 3 of which are already out. They should release different ones like Terror in the Big Top, Dr.Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde and other ones from the series. They should release Scooby Movies with Speed Buggy and Josie and the Pussycats. In short I'll just say I am sick of duplicate Scooby episodes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Repeat Episodes by a Scooby Fanatic, January 9, 2005

This review is from: Scooby-Doo's Greatest Mysteries (DVD)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Four Great Scooby Snacks!, July 16, 2000

This review is from: Scooby-Doo's Greatest Mysteries [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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!
