Scooby Doo Collection Vol 1 May 23, 2010
Mrs. SD Barker (UK)
My 4 year old son loves this box set. Sound quality isn't great though.
Not a classic collection December 10, 2007

This could have been more correctly titled The Scooby-Doo Selection, rather than Collection, as there's not much of a common theme across the three disks. In reverse order, we have:
Scooby-Doo meets the Boo Brothers (1987)
A feature-length story with Shaggy + Scooby + Scrappy. If you can stand nearly 90 minutes of Shaggy & Scooby running around having hysterics while Scrappy solves the clues to finding the treasure then this is for you. The Boo Brothers act the goat and obstruct the proceedings to a painfully unfunny extent and contribute greatly to the lack of entertainment in this poor episode. One star.
Scooby-Doo meets the Harlem Globetrotters (1972)
Billed on the cover as "A full length Scooby-Doo mystery" this is actually two 40-minute episodes: The Mystery of Haunted Island; plus The Loch Ness Mess (although set in Massachusetts rather than Scotland). At least these episodes have the whole gang (and no Scrappy!) but again the featured guest stars contribute little apart from goofing around and getting in the way to little amusing effect. The "Loch Ness" episode is the slightly less embarrassing of the two. Two stars (just).
Scooby-Doo's Greatest Mysteries (1969)
Now this is more like it! Four early TV episodes: A Clue for Scooby-Doo + Hassle in the Castle + Jeepers, It's the Creeper + The Backstage Rage. All the classic elements: a random excursion, the fortuitous discovery of a mystery, the search for clues, bribing Scooby-Doo with Scooby Snacks, the chase, the convoluted trap which goes wrong but catches the villain anyway, the unmasking of a guy in a monster suit, "if it hadn't been for those meddling kids!". Good fun. Three+½ stars.
The two "guest star" disks are very disappointing, but I'll give the box three stars overall because the "Greatest Mysteries" disk has quite a few laugh-out-loud moments and because I'm a sentimental old codger.
