A Guide to a Complete Scooby Collection
DVD Checklist Missing Episodes
{Updated on February 24, 2016}
Let’s face it, when it comes to collecting Scooby-Doo on DVD, it is quite confusing. While many seasons have been released as one complete set, many episodes have been spread across various releases over the years, and there still several episodes that have not been released. For us collectors, it is irritating to figure out which episodes are on which release and which episode belongs where. That is why I decided to make this list. It is my hope that this will serve as a guide for those wanting to have as complete a collection as possible. You can follow the links above to see a complete list of DVDs and to see which episodes have not made it to DVD. I will try and keep this post as updated as possible.
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!
If you just want the original run of episodes, all 25 episodes of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! are on DVD as part of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! The Complete First & Second Seasons. But the set you’ll want to get is Scooby-Doo! Where Are You! The Complete Series, which includes the “third” season of Scooby-Doo! Where Are You!{more on this later}. The set also includes a exclusive bonus disc which includes a couple of featurettes. The original run of The Complete Series with the limited edition Mystery Machine packaging is out of print and is going for hundreds of dollars on Ebay and Amazon. But you can get the reissue with cheaper packaging for around $50 or less.
The New Scooby-Doo Movies
Warner Bros has released 15 episodes of The New Scooby-Doo Movies on DVD as Best of The New Scooby-Doo Movies. The reason this series does not have a complete set, unfortunately, is due to WB not being able to negotiate royalty agreements with some of the series’ guest stars. The Addams Family. Phyllis Diller, Sandy Duncan, Sonny & Cher, Davy Jones, Jerry Reed, Josie and the Pussycats, Jeannie, and Tim Conway episodes have all been omitted from this release. The opening titles have also been edited to remove certain shots of some of the guest stars.
The Scooby-Doo Show
The Scooby-Doo Show is mostly complete on DVD. The first season is available as The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour: The Complete Series. Note that while the Scooby and Dynomutt episodes originally aired as one hour long episode, The DVD includes the syndicated versions, with their own opening and closing credits.
Season 2 is a little more difficult to track down. Only 3 of the 8 season 2 episodes have been released, all spread across different releases. 13 Spooky Tales from Around the World includes The Ozark Witch Switch and Hang in There, Scooby-Doo on 13 Spooky Tales: Run for Your Rife. Vampire Bats and Scaredy Cats was originally released on Scooby-Doo’s Spookiest Tales, but is also included on the recently released Scooby-Doo and the Vampires.
The Curse of Viking Lake, The Chiller Diller Movie Thriller, The Spooky Case of the Grand Prix Race, Creepy Cruise, and The Creepy Heap from the Deep have not seen a DVD release as of March 2014.
Season 3 was released under Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! The Complete Third Season. Six of these episodes originally aired under the Where Are You! Name, but the DVD contains the syndicated Scooby-Doo Show opening and closing credits. Do what I suggested above and buy The Complete Series set, that way you avoid having to buy two different releases.
Scooby’s All Star Laff-A-Lympics
The first season of Laff-A-Lympics is available as three separate releases. Volumes 1&2 contain the first eight episodes, while Spooky Games includes the rest of Season 1 along with a brand new special{Spooky Games also includes a couple repeat episodes from the previous releases}. As of March 2014, there has been no word of a Season 2 release.
Scooby and Scrappy-Doo
This is where things start getting confusing. Scrappy-Doo releases have frankly been all over the place. Outside of Scrappy-Doo Season 1, The Richie Rich/Scooby Show and 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, there has been no definitive season release for the Scrappy-Doo era. All sixteen season one episodes of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, however, will be released on April 28th, 2015, which will hopefully lead to more season sets.
Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo{Shorts}
A good chunk of the first season of Scrappy-Doo shorts were included on The Richie Rich/Scooby Doo Show: Volume 1 release. Moonlight Madness is included on 13 Spooky Tales Around the World. The following episodes were also included on 13 Spooky Tales: Love of Snack.
Scooby’s Swiss Miss/ET TU, Scoob?/Soggy Bog, Scooby
South Seas Scare/Scooby Gumbo/Alaskin King Coward{Season 1}
Hothouse Scooby/Scooby-Doo 2000/Punk Rock Scooby{Season 2}
Hothouse Scooby/Scooby-Doo 2000/Punk Rock Scooby is the only season two episode available on DVD.
The Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Puppy Hour
For the following releases, WB decided to take segments from various episodes and include them as their own separate episodes. So none of these are really complete.
Scooby-Doo! 13 Spooky Tales: Holiday Thrills and Chills
Snow Job Too Small

All thirteen episodes are available on The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo: The Complete Series.
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo
For this series, you can just skip the individual volumes and go for A Pup Named Scooby-Doo: The Complete First Season and A Pup Named Scooby-Doo: The Complete Second, Third, and Fourth Seasons.
What’s New Scooby-Doo
While there is no complete series set of What’s New Scooby-Doo, you can get all three seasons individually. The three holiday themed episodes have been included as bonus episodes on each of the season sets. Note: While the show was animated at 16×9 widescreen, the DVD releases as well as the original TV airings were cropped to 4×3}.
Shaggy & Scooby-Doo! Get A Clue
Sadly, Get A Clue did not get any more releases past the second volume. So only the first eight episodes have made it to DVD. The Many Faces of Evil{13 Spooky Tales: Love of Snack| and Crusin’ For A Brusin'{13 Spooky Tales: Surf’s Up Scooby-Doo!} are the only two Season 2 episodes on DVD.. Currently, WB has no plans to continue releasing Get A Clue on DVD.
Note: While the show was animated at 16×9 widescreen, the DVD releases as well as the original TV airings were cropped to 4×3}.
Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated
Both seasons of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated are available in individual season sets.
Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!
The first half of Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! season one was released on February 23, 2016 as Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! Spooky Kooky Fun.
Movies
Every single Scooby-Doo movie has made it to DVD. Other than the four live action films, a few of the animated titles, such as Legend of the Vampire, Loch Ness Monster, and Samurai Sword, have made it to Blu-ray as well. Every movie Camp Scare to Frankencreepy, along with Scooby-Doo! & KISS: Rock & Roll Mystery and the upcoming LEGO Scooby-Doo! Haunted Hollywood, has gotten Blu-ray releases. The original puppet movie “Scooby-Doo Adventures: The Mystery Map” and the recent DTV release “Moon Monster Madness” do not currently have Blu-ray releases planned.
Digital Releases
While many of these episodes have not made it to DVD, they are available digitally. iTunes has the majority of Scrappy-Doo episodes available to purchase. The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, What’s New Scooby-Doo, and Mystery Incorporated are all available in high definition{What’s New Scooby-Doo is also in its original 16×9 aspect ratio}. While SD Adventures: The Mystery Map and Moon Monster Madness only have DVD releases, they are available in HD from various digital outlets.

Great article!
Scooby Doo Wrestlemania Mystery leaked online. It is pretty ridiculous, even for a cartoon. It was definitely fun to watch, Scooby and the gang were as funny as always and all the WWE elements are so ridiculously stupid that you'll laugh just because it's so absurd. And the plot is pretty terrible and filled with the many tired tropes of the WWE, but I'll give them credit, they knew they were going to make a bad movie, so they at least made it funny bad instead of bad bad. It was worth the time to watch it once. I almost feel like this was more in the vein of parody, which honestly I feel like that was the only way they could have done it.
They changed the Mystery Machine, I'm sort of split on whether or not I like the changes. It's minor though. The opening credits also feature a lot of call backs to SDWAY, so that was a nice touch, although I don't see why they decided to do that for the opening theme. And they acknowledge that the gang wears the same clothing all the time.
You forgot to add Moonlight Madness to the released episodes list, it's still on the missing episode list even though it was released on the 13 spooky tales around the world DVD set.
I need answers...I bought the complete series where are you scooby doo as a gift....now trying to figure out if I can get another gift wanted to do a Christmas scooby doo movie but don't want to buy if it's already in series...what do u think or know lol
I would recommend 13 Spooky Tales: Holiday Thrills & Chills. It has every Christmas special(except for the BCSD Christmas episode of course).
^Oops, thanks for those.
I buy about everything on Vudu. You can watch them on the smart tv or xbox. SDMI looks great and even though it's on netflix its great to be able to download on phone or iPad. They have a ton of scooby and scrappy and other episodes that you can buy indivually.
There's always a VUDU/UltraViolet bot posting in the comments. Ugh.
I still hold out hope the Addams Family episodes will get a disc release. I don't care of iTunes or UltraViolet releases - iTunes releases won't play on my android phone and UltraViolet is not a purchase, but a lease which can be revoked permanently or temporarily, depending on the whims of the content copyright holder.
For instance, if Cartoon Network were to demand a Scooby blackout-period for UltraViolet devices, then the company's servers would temporarily disable you from being able to watch any Scooby releases you'd "bought" from an UltraViolet reseller, like VUDU.
you are missing some scooby doo dvds that i have and some have diffent names on them then what you have listed

Cool guide!
i hope for some more Scrappy doo DVD's
Thank you so much for this. I have several kids crazy about Scooby-Doo & it is pretty overwhelming to know where to start & what we risk overbuying/repeating. This is information I'll really use. Great job!
I am a huge Scooby-Doo fan. I own most of the series and movies currently on DVD. However, my question is why hasn't Warner Brothers released on DVD the New Scooby-Doo Mysteries? Some of my favorite episodes are contained within this series. I know a few of the episodes contained in this series have been released here and there on different DVD's but Scooby-Doo episodes that I already have on "Scooby-Doo Where Are You" series are also contained on these DVD's. So I'm not going to go out and buy 3 or 4 DVD's that have all the episodes I already own just to obtain the few I don't own. It doesn't make sense. This is 2015, come on Warner Brothers, get your act together and release this series on DVD. You'll make a lot of Scooby fans including myself very happy!
Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. The biggest challenge I've been having is finding the missing 8 episodes originally aired under the Scooby's All Stars. I really wish they would put those episodes on DVD, instead of offering an option to buy it digitally.
Have you heard any updates if the studio will ever release those missing episodes?
Just last month,I called Warner Bros. In Burbank making a suggestion for a new Scooby Doo movie in the future,called "Scooby Doo on the Price Is Right"which featured Scooby and the mystery gang going on America's #1 game show The Price Is Right after their van The Mystery Machine had a breakdown and need of repair at a gas station in Hollywood.While at the taping one of the Scooby gang gets to COME ON DOWN on contestants row and plays a pricing game only to find out it is haunted by a dead gameshow announcer in which the Scooby gang must solve this mystery when the pricing games get fouled-up uneventfully.The operator was sold on the interest and told me the'll tell the writers of WB how interesting the suggestion.
What frustrates me the most is the 9 episodes from The New Scooby Doo Movies not making it to DVD. I mean what was such a big problem in negotiating that Warner Bros couldn't put these episodes on discs?!?! I mean this series is one of my favorites and 9 (HOUR LONG) episodes is a lot to not release on DVD! Also Season 2 of The Scooby Doo Show is available on iTunes. I know it's not DVD (which is preferred) buy hey, at least it's something where I can watch them.
Did you read the article above? Clearly states that WB cant get the individual rights of the actors and actresses involved in these missing 9 episodes. Makes sense considering how old these are, a lot of them are no longer living. The time, effort, and money to track down all the living family members to obtain these rights would never come close to making a profit for them. (yes it would be nice if they didn't care about making a profit and were willing to take a loss just to make the fans happy.) Zoinks!!!!
Save money on buying the movies, buy the two 8 movie collections ("Monsters" and "Greatest Mystery Adventures") and three of the "Kid Favorites" 4 movie collections.
