The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show


The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show


The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show is an American animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, and the sixth incarnation of the Scooby-Doo franchise. It premiered on September 10, 1983, featuring the return of Daphne, and ran for one season on ABC as a half-hour program made up of two eleven-minute short cartoons. For season two, Fred and Velma briefly return to the show after a four-year absence. The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries ran for another season on ABC.

Thirteen half-hour episodes composed of twenty-four separate segments were produced under the New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo title in 1983, and thirteen more episodes composed of twenty separate segments were produced under the New Scooby-Doo Mysteries title in 1984. At the time, Margaret Loesch, serving as supervising executive for the series, worked for animation company Marvel Productions.

Overview

Season One

For this incarnation of the show, Hanna-Barbera attempted to combine elements of both the original mystery-solving format and the newer Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo comedy shorts format. Daphne Blake was added back to the cast after a three-year absence. The plots of each episode feature her, Shaggy Rogers, Scooby-Doo, and Scrappy-Doo solving 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.

Season Two

The second season of this format, broadcast as The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries in 1984, continued the same format, and included six two-part episodes featuring original Scooby-Doo characters Fred Jones and/or Velma Dinkley, both absent from the series for five years. Fred's last name is given as "Rogers" initially in his return appearance to the series in the episode "Happy Birthday, Scooby-Doo," although later in the same episode it is corrected as "Jones"; Rogers had been established as Shaggy's surname the previous season. 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.
