Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!: Season 3
Originally released asThe Scooby-Doo Show, the 16 episodes included on thisScooby-Doo, Where Are You!  The Complete Third Seasoncompilation were produced for the 1978Scooby's All-Starstelevision series. They do not include the characters Scooby-Dum or Scooby-Dee, or anyDynomuttprogramming. The classic Mystery Inc. gang represented here consists of the original five characters: the preppy, take-charge Fred; somewhat ditsy Daphne; intellectual Velma; and the ever-hungry, nervous, and bumbling Shaggy and Scooby.  As the gang travels around the globe to places like China, Scotland, England, and the United States, they invariably stumble into one mystery after another.  Ghosts and monsters abound, but the persistence of Fred and Daphne combined with Velma's intellect and Shaggy's and Scooby's uncanny tendency to stumble across vital clues ensures a tidy, down-to-earth solution to even the most other-worldly mysteries. Of course, it's the wit and slapstick humor that make these episodes true classics. A 25-minute, 2006 "Hanna-Barbera: From H to B" featurette follows the program and explores the careers of Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera with some very brief original footage of both men and a host of interviews with Hanna-Barbera animators, writers, and voice talent that serve to highlight the two men's individual strengths, tremendous work ethic, and collaborative spirit.
