Pros:1. It arrived on time.2. It made a great series full of new episodes.3. It has a lot of action in it.4. It's in perfect conditionCons:1. None, so far

Great collection of Scooby-Doo episodes that you cannot find released on their own. Unfortunately you have to skip a Dynomutt episode in between every Scooby cartoon if you just want to watch Scooby.

These episodes from 1976 still resonate with me to this day; I really enjoy going back in time and seeing classics such as HIGH RISE HAIR RAISER, WATT A SHOCKING GHOST, SCARED A LOT IN CAMELOT, and THE HARUM SCARUM SANITARIUM. There a 16 Scooby Doo episodes in all, with 16 Dynomutt episodes to match. At first, the Dynomutt episodes were sort of an afterthought, but after watching 4 or 5 of them, I really started to enjoy them. Blue Falcon and Dog Wonder are sort of like Batman and Robin, but much more odd together. Together, they bust crime all over "Big City." I think that the original concept for the show was a good one, and kept Saturday mornings balanced. There's a downside to the packaging of this set, however. The 4 discs are basically stacked on one another, which sets the stage for physical damage to the discs, especially if the prongs loosen over time, which is almost inevitable. I don't know why they chose to package the set this way; perhaps it was to save money? Anyway, the set is enjoyable, and well worth the price. This is one of my favorite Scooby Doo compilations. 9/10

If you love scooby doo then you'll definitely love this complete series. Comes in a standard dvd case with the dvds stacked on top of each other securely. Very nice addition for any collection.

It's everything I'm looking for

I waited a long time to finally purchase this. The main reason being that dynomutt was attached with scooby. I remember seeing a few episodes on boomerang of dynomutt, and he just seems a little too over the top for me.I just wanted the joy of owning more scooby episodes from the 1970s. Eventually i did give in when the price was right. Most of these episodes are worth the watch. There are a few I wasn't overjoyed about but you take the good with the mediorce.You can sort of tell by this point that thay are seriously starting to rehash previous episodes. A few examples of this are like "the bum steer for scooby". This was obviously another take on the original episode from sesaon 1 about the dognapper that had a suspciously similar looking costume and ancient ruins to hide out in.There is another episode "mamba wamba" where the zombie looks almost exactly like the one from the "which witch is which" episode on season 1.This is the point where ideas were staring to repeat and run a bit dry and "rehashing" became the rule.Some of these are really enjoyable like the "harum sacrum" one. Which is genuinly a bit creepy. Especially with the dancing dog scene. The "high rise hair raiser" was another one that was kind of creepy as well. The "headless horseman" is also another one that sticks out instantly. I remember being a bit afraid when I was a kid watching this particular episode.I enjoyed the "Scared A lot in Camelot" and "The Fiesta Host is Aztec Ghost" as well.The "Watt a Shocking Ghost" episode made me have flashbacks in a good way. It was just really good to see a lot of the monsters that are referenced in the muscial intro in their specific episodes from this collection.While initially I did skip over the dynomutt episodes. I began to watch a few and to be honest they aren't that bad, but not as likable as scooby obviously. They mostly make me nostalgic for a time I wasn't even born in.One super cool thing was in the "hornet epsiode" (dynomutt) right in the middle of them checking out a night club, a stage singer starts singing the jabberjaw ( which is another hanna-barbera series that's very similar to scooby) theme song in full. I found this a little odd but enjoyable.My only real complaint is that the scooby epsiodes stop at the "spirits of '76", but on amazon instant streaming list there are 8 more you can watch or download via amazon instant video.I found that really strange. All I can guess is that after the dvd release, these epsiosdes were found later and put on the amazon media library.I paid around 24 bucks for this and I think it was worth it's price. Defintely get this if you are a true blue scooby fan like I am.P.S. The added features and interviews were a nice touch too. It was great to see the people behind the voices of these iconic characters.

I am very happy with it. It has Scooby-Doo episodes that I have not been able to find on DVD/Blue ray at all. I had not seen them in years.

If you watched Saturday morning cartoons in the late seventies and early eighties, Dinomutt and Blue Falcon will bring back memories. I bought all the previous Golden editions for Scooby-Doo. This is the Diamond Series with 16 episode (1 Scooby & 1 Dinomutt per episode) across 4 DVDs. The quality is good (some imperfections and sound tends to lower on Dinomutt intros) but I do not think a Bluray transfer would improve it. There are no bonus features but for $12 it’s worth it for the cartoons. I watched it with my elementary aged daughter and recommend a target age of under 10.
