The Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo shorts represents the fifth
incarnation of the Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning cartoon Scooby-Doo series . A total of 33
half-hour episodes, each of which included three 7-minute shorts, ran for three
seasons, from 1980 to 1982 on ABC. Thirteen episodes were
produced in 1980-1981 and seven were produced in 1981 as segments of The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo
Show and thirteen were produced as segments of The Scooby &
Scrappy-Doo/Puppy Hour. Out of the 99 shorts that were produced, 86 of
them feature Scooby-Doo, his nephew Scrappy-Doo and Shaggy without the rest of
the Mystery Inc gang, and the other 13 were back-up segments that only featured
Scrappy-Doo and Yabba-Doo . In three 7-minute segments, Scooby, Scrappy, and Shaggy went on humorous
adventures that pitted which against "real" supernatural forces. Fred, Daphne,
and Velma were no longer included in these episodes, and neither was the mystery
aspect of the show. These new short Scooby-Doo episodes were presented as
one-half of the package program The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo
Show, and reruns of the 1979–1980 episodes were later alternated with the
newer episodes. The new Scooby and Scrappy cartoons also were the first
to feature Don Messick doing
Scrappy's voice instead of Lennie Weinrib; Messick's tough interpretation of his
Pixie
Mouse/Ruff the Cat voice was a significant
difference from Weinrib's rougher characterization.
Because of a massive animators strike, only seven new Scooby-Doo
half-hours (21 segments) were produced for the 1981-1982 season. To fill the void, Hanna-Barbera repackaged
reruns from previous seasons under the title Scooby-Doo Classics. From
this point until the demise of the series, there was always a package of
Scooby reruns on ABC's Saturday morning lineup.
The 1982-1983 season
brought a Hanna-Barbera/Ruby-Spears
co-production, The Scooby &
Scrappy-Doo/Puppy Hour. Hanna-Barbera produced new 7-minute episodes of
Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, which featured Scooby, Scrappy, and Shaggy
traveling across the country as the "Fearless Detective Agency," attempting to
solve mysteries (most of which were more typical spy or criminal cases, instead
of the original ghosts-and-monsters setup), and Ruby-Spears produced episodes of
The Puppy's New
Adventures, featuring the character of Petey the Puppy (which was
spun-off from Ruby-Spears' 1978 special, The
Puppy Who Wanted a Boy, which was based on the book of the same name).
In addition, Hanna-Barbera contributed a back-up segment called Scrappy and
Yabba-Doo, which featured Scrappy-Doo having Western-based adventures with
his uncle Yabba-Doo, and Yabba's master, Deputy Dusty. |
