Back in 1969 a show by the name of “Scooby-Doo Where Are You” premiered on CBS. This was the first time the world met the Scooby Gang. This is also the most famous of the Scooby-Doo series that many children have enjoyed over the years. I know I remember watching the show as a child in reruns. I really liked the show when I was a child and I still enjoy it quite a bit. It too bad that this volume has a serious problem.

For those few of you who have never seen Scooby-Doo before, the show follows four kids and their dog Scooby on their adventures which always included a mystery/crime that needed to be solved.  Volume 3 contains episodes 9-12 of the first season which include “The Rage Backstage”, “The Bedlam in the Bigtop”, “A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts”, and “Scooby-Do and a Mummy, Too.”

As I already mentioned, I was a fan of Scooby-Doo when I was a child. Rewatching these episodes brought back some fond memories from my childhood. While the series is obviously not as good for an adult as a child, it can still be enjoyed by adults and children alike. The mysteries are pretty simple for adults especially if you know “the trick” of how to solve every single Scooby Doo mystery in the original series. The show is still enjoyable though as long as you don’t take it too seriously.

The series is from 1969 so the video quality is far from perfect. What do you expect though from a 40 year old cartoon. The video quality looks grainy at points during the episodes. The episodes are still watchable but don’t expect perfect video quality since you are not going to get it.

The one special feature you get in this volume set is “High Society Scooby” which is an episode from the series “Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!” This is the newest Scooby-Doo series as it began in 2007 and ended in 2008. I really haven’t watched the new series besides this episode but I got to say that the classic series was better. The episode is not bad but I don’t think it is worth purchasing this volume collection.

This volume has one serious problem. The problem is that it is only a volume. I personally am not a fan of volumes especially when the complete first season is already available on DVD. In this volume you only get four episodes. Unless you wanted to give Scooby-Doo a try or only wanted the episodes contained in this volume, there really is no point to purchasing this volume set. You can get all four episodes in this volume by picking up the complete season (which also includes season two) for a little over $20. If you want to see all the episodes of the first two seasons it is a much better deal to just pick up the complete season instead of the volume sets.

Overall I like Scooby-Doo. The series is good for children and adults. The problem with this DVD is that you can get a much better deal picking up the complete first and second seasons of Scooby-Doo Where Are You! I just can’t recommend picking up this volume unless you just want to give Scooby-Do a try or you are only interested in the episodes contained in this volume set. This doesn’t mean that I don’t recommend Scooby-Doo Where Are You! I personally would recommend the complete first and second season version. Scooby-Doo Where Are You is a good series, but this volume isn’t.
