The All-New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show (also known as simply
The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show) is the sixth incarnation of
the Hanna-Barbera Saturday
morning cartoon Scooby-Doo. It premiered on September
10, 1983 and ran for one
season on ABC as a half-hour program made
up of two eleven-minute short cartoons. In 1984, the name of the show was changed to The New
Scooby-Doo Mysteries, with the actual show format remaining the same.
The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries ran for another season on ABC.
Thirteen half-hour episodes, composed of twenty-six 11-minute episodes (two
of which were double-part episodes) were produced under the New Scooby and
Scrappy-Doo title in 1983., and thirteen more episodes, composed
of twenty-six 11-minute episodes (six of which were double-part episodes) were
produced under the The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries name in 1984. For this incarnation of the show, Hanna-Barbera attempted to combine the most
successful elements of both the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!
format and the newer Scooby-Doo and
Scrappy-Doo format. Daphne Blake, a character from the original
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! format, was added back to the cast after a
four-year absence. The plots of each episode feature her, Shaggy Rogers,
Scooby-Doo, and Scrappy-Doo solved supernatural mysteries under the cover of
being reporters for a teen magazine. Each half-hour program was made up of two
11-minute episodes, which would upon occasion be two parts of one half-hour long
episode.
The second season of this format, broadcast as The New Scooby-Doo
Mysteries in 1984, continued the same format, and, as an
added bonus, included six two-part episodes featuring original Scooby-Doo
characters Fred Jones and Velma Dinkley, both absent from the series for
five years. It is worth noting that in the episode "Happy Birthday Scooby-Doo",
Fred Jones is incorrectly identified as Fred Rogers; Rogers is Shaggy's surname.
The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries theme song is performed in the style of Thriller-era Michael Jackson. The
accompanying opening credits feature shots of a row of monsters dancing like the
zombies in Jackson's Thriller music video. |
