Scooby-Doo's Original Mysteries Review
I remember watching every single one of these episodes when I was a child. They are still great thirty years later.
The DVD has the first season of the original Scooby Doo series. The episodes are in order and are exactly as they were on television. There is a theme song at the beginning and end making each episode complete. Then there is a dark screen for a few seconds and the next episode begins with the theme song again.
Great for new and old Scooby Fans alike.

Scooby-Doo's Original Mysteries Specifications
"Well, gang, it looks like we're up to our armor plates in another mystery." Oddly enough, this line comes from the very first episode of
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?, the part-mystery, part-haunted house animated series that premiered in 1969. The first five episodes are featured on
Scooby-Doo's Original Mysteries, in which Freddy, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and of course the practical-joking Great Dane Scooby-Doo drive around the country in their lime-green van "The Mystery Machine" investigating haunted castles, ghost towns, and a host of alleged otherworldly beings. Ventriloquist, gymnast, and resident hippie Shaggy and fraidy-cat canine Scooby provide the comic relief between clues, and can usually be bribed into anything with a yummy Scooby snack (the ingredients of which remain the show's real mystery). Sure, the animation is flat, the music receptive, and the jokes not nearly as funny as the laugh track would have you think, but that's par for Saturday morning animation. If you grew up with Scooby and the gang, these original episodes are like a nostalgia train to Saturday morning yesteryear, yet after 30 years the shows have hardly aged (even beatnik Shaggy could pass for modern grunge). The DVD also features an abbreviated music video (not as good as Matthew Sweet's rendition of the theme song on
Saturday Morning Cartoons) and a trivia quiz. The episodes: "What a Night for a Knight," "Hassle in the Castle," "A Clue for Scooby Doo," "Mine Your Own Business," and "Decoy from a Dognapper."
