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.

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!

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.

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.

For those of us who grew up watching the series ,it will take you back to your childhood! I have always been a fan of the series(but not with Scrappy Doo Avois those if you can! ). This video has behind the scenes with the gang telling about the gang past and other stuff!My favorite episode on this tape is "Jeeper,It's the Creeper" in which the gang is at a dance and the ghosts ruins it! This episode also features a song in it! I cannot remeber the song at the moment but it's on the Scooby Doo Ultimate Snack Track cd! Buy this video if you want to go back your youth of just love the series!

Please read my other reviews posted thought out the site! Thanks Have a nice day!

If you grew up watching Scooby Doo like I did, you have to have this video. Its all classic Scooby. No Scrappy stuff in this one. As a Scooby Fan and collector, I HIGHLY recommend this video....

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!

I bought the Scooby-Doo's Greatest Mysteries for my 2 1/2 year old daughter, who has just recently become interested in Scooby-Doo. I have to say that it is not only good viewing for her, but me as well. I have not seen Scooby-Doo in years and it is now the most watched video in our home. If you have kids, I would definitely recommend this video.
