What's New Scooby-Doo: Complete First Season (Dbl DVD)

This is a fun and hugely entertaining DVD set! I'm a 72 year old Scooby Doo fan, and watching these beloved shows whenever I want to is wonderful. This set is comprised of an excellent selection of some of the best shows from the past. I don't know if they have been remastered but they're all quite vibrant! Plus, this wasn't the first pre-owned DVD that I've purchased from "Loved Again Media" via Amazon. They've always been exactly in the condition described and played perfectly. And I certainly appreciate the great prices too!

Love the Scooby-Doo show. Great Product. Great purchase.

Imagine you were a career biologist in your 30s or 40s. A general interest magazine asks you to rewrite a long bio report you cranked out in the middle of seventh grade on a typewriter while doing stuff for your other six or seven classes. How much will you be able to improve on the original report now that you're wittier; know more about the subject and have a good gauge of what the general public knows of the subject; will be working on a laptop; have access to noted, interesting people in and around your field for interviews on the subject? That's why, just considering it as entertainment, What's New, Scooby Doo? dusts the original Scooby Doo, Where Are You? and The New Scooby Doo Movies from 1972-73. This isn't some Gen Y kid engaging in presentism. I'm a Gen Xer who was in the first generation to grow up watching the original Scoobies on Saturday mornings. Fine enough entertainment for most of us, though it was a weakly-animated, formulaic product of the Hanna-Barbera made-for-TV assembly line. Our standards were pretty low at the time. In doing the update, the current creators did the job that some of the Scooby Doo movies from the 1990s began. They fleshed out the characters, giving them backstory, interests, families. Velma (voiced by "Facts of Life" star Mindy Cohn) is a brilliant scientist with the kind of "smart girl" wit we always suspected she had. We find out where Fred's from and even what he can bench. Daphne was moved from the Danger Prone Daphne of the original toward being a resourceful, style-conscious Buffy the Vampire Slayer-type. (Coincidentlaly, Sarah Michelle Gellar, TV's Buffy, played Daphne in the two live-action Scooby Doo movies, and Buffy's pals called themselves "The Scooby Gang."). Shaggy, still voiced by Casey Kasem, and Scooby still are forever hungry and scared, but even Shaggy gets a few interests we didn't know he had before. The animation, undoubtedly assisted by better technology, isn't movie studio animation level, but is superior to the stiff stuff of the original. The plotting is improved. For example, whether the gang is in Egypt or Las Vegas, there's a reason they're there. Most of all, there's a willingness to poke fun at pop culture, each other, themselves and the original Scooby formula while still following it. Like much of the best animation, the humor works on the kid level and on the adult level. Because of balkanized TV viewing and the varying circumstances of viewing -- some on DVD, some on Boomerang, some at night, some during the day -- it's doubtful future generations will consider this version of Scooby Doo as a piece of bonding, iconic nostalgia that Gen Xers consider the original. It'll just have to settle for being much better.

What's New Scooby Doo is the best adaption of Scooby Doo Where Are You!! It follow the exact same format. After years of trying to tinker Scooby Doo, they finaly decide to return basis, go to back to the classic formt, if it ain't broke don't fix it. It is updated to the 21st Centruy, it is the original Scooby gang. There is some differences in Fred, Daphne, and Velma. In the old show, they were all serious, except for when Velma loses her glasses, they rarely had anything funny to say. But here they have their own personalties, that is funny in its own right. Scooby and Shaggy are the same as always. You see that in the 1st season for sure. The difference in this show and current direct to video movie series, is it focuses on the kids more, gives them more of the spotlight. On the old shows, Scooby was always the focus. Here it is more of an unsumble, Scooby has his moments, but there are episodes in which you bearly notice Scooby is there, yet it is enjoyable. I have the season 2 DVD, and can't wait till season 3.

Having grown up with Scooby Doo, I mistakenly thought this was the "old" TV series put on DVD. Instead, it is the "What's New Scooby Doo" series, which is an updated version of the old. The new version looks a lot like the old series, having the usual mystery to solve in 30 minutes or less. They don't ever let it get too serious, as they play fun music behind the chase scenes. The jokes are funny as the characters poke fun at themselves, and each other. The voices are the same (thankfully). I love watching it with my kids, and they have watched them over and over again.

Product seems correct, but case is not quite as sturdy as expected.

I think my kids have watched all of the seasons of What's New Scooby-Doo about 50 times each. Ok, I'm exaggerating, but they really love them. As a parent that used to watch the old Scooby-Doo shows (we have all of those, too) when I was growing up, I couldn't help but get these seasons. They are not as interesting to me as an adult, but I can say that some of the information is very accurate. Although I didn't buy them as learning DVDs for my kids and expected them to be only for entertainment, the kids still pick up some interesting information! I also personally loved Casey Kasem as Shaggy (no offense Matthew Lillard!) and I love that he is in these. I will really miss him in future shows and movies!

What's new scooby doo is a great show for my 5 year old and he loves it. We watch it all the time. The story lines are a bit cheesy, but that is part of the attraction of scooby. Would highly recommend for anyone with young kids (or grown up fans of the show).

it came yesday thanks you

This was the return of an old favorite. Scooby Doo was back with this new series. I really like the episodes on these discs. Good for some laughs and an enjoyable few hours of quality entertainment. Chase scene music is back with some pop and rock artists appearing. The Ramones ones were my favorite songs. Riva Ras Regas was a fun episode. Plus the homage to Jackie Chan and the matrix parody. If you are looking for some fun and are a Scooby Doo fan this is for you. I would recommend this item.

Acheté neuf et arrivé neuf comme prévu. Le DVD se lit également sur les lecteurs zone 2 et il y a une version française disponible. Bref, nickel !
