The New Scooby-Doo Movies is the early-1970s Hanna-Barbera continuation of the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! that paired Scooby and the gang with a rotating roster of celebrity guest stars in hour-long mystery episodes. The show ran across two seasons starting in 1972, with each episode bringing the Mystery Inc cast together with a new guest who joins them in solving that week's case. The roster of guests reads like a tour through early-1970s pop culture, including Don Adams, John Astin, Sonny & Cher, Tim Conway, Jonathan Winters, Phyllis Diller, Davy Jones, and Mark Hamill in pre-Star Wars form.

What makes the series distinct is its scale. Where the original Scooby-Doo run established the formula in 22-minute episodes, The New Scooby-Doo Movies extended each episode to a full hour and used the additional runtime for the celebrity collaboration premise. "Wednesday Is Missing" pairs the gang with the Addams Family. "The Caped Crusader Caper" brings in Batman and Robin. "The Spirit Spooked Sports Show" works in athletic-celebrity guests. The format gives each episode a different flavor and cements the series as one of the strangest crossover experiments in Saturday morning history.

For its era, the show represents Hanna-Barbera at full reach. The studio could book the kind of celebrity guests that demonstrated the Scooby franchise's commercial weight, and the resulting episodes have stayed in active circulation through reruns on CBS, ABC, Cartoon Network, and Boomerang for decades. The 24 episodes captured here include the legendary Batman crossover and the Addams Family episodes that have remained fan favorites since their original run.

The warmest episodes are the ones that build genuine ensemble chemistry. "Ghastly Ghost Town" launches the celebrity-guest format. "The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair" brings in Batman and Robin for the first time. "Sandy Duncan's Jekyll And Hyde" pushes the guest's comic chops into the mystery framework. "The Ghost Of The Red Baron" leans into pulp-adventure crossover material. "The Mystery Of Haunted Island" launches Season 2 with the format intact. The complete 24 episodes across 4 DVDs collect both seasons, every celebrity collaboration, every mystery, in one box.

Stars: Casey Kasem, Heather North, Don Messick.
