My Thoughts
This two DVD collection brings together some of the greatest Scooby Doo movies of all time. The almost complete collection has twenty-three episodes while the lost episodes has eight. Each one features amazing celebrity appearances including Sony & Cher, Abbot & Costello, Don Knots, Batman and Robin, the Harlem Globetrotter, the Three Stooges, and so many more. They also do tons of great spoofs of classic tales such as the Phantom of the Opera and Jekyll & Hyde. Each show is packed full of mystery fun, and sometimes great music. And of course, there's always the fun unmasking at the end of every movie!
Oh my gosh! This DVD set has brought my childhood back to the forefront. Scooby-Doo was my favorite show when I was a kid. I can see myself sitting in the kitchen with the wood paneling, watching these shows all summer long. I'm so excited to have the chance to share all my favorite episodes with my own children. It's a great collection, and a great way to celebrate the anniversary of the show. You can grab a copy for yourself in stores nationwide or online at Amazon.
