Unmasking Scooby-Doo
Numerous requests have flooded in requesting an enumeration of the home media releases of Scooby-Doo in a similar fashion to the breakdown of Bugs Bunny, so in Halloween Spirit, here it is.
The following lists are only for Scooby-Doo works produced before Hanna-Barbera was bought by TBS in 1991 and then folded into Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. Episodes where Scooby-Doo was included in a large cast of Hanna-Barbera properties are also excluded.
Many, many, Scooby-Doo compendiums have been released that are samplings of episodes from different seasons. These are best avoided. Fortunately, Hanna-Barbera has made a concerted effort to also release complete seasons despite being a subsidiary of Warner Bros.
