The biggest gathering imaginable was back in 1977 and 1978. ALl ABC needed on Saturday mornings were three variety shows, the Krofft Super Show, the SuperFriends, and this variety series. I never saw it as Scooby's All Star Laff a Lympics in its first year, but I heard the lineup consisted episodes of Scooby Doo and Dynomutt as well as 2 new shows, Captain Caveman and the Teen Angles. I don't think this series ran by itself on Saturday mornings, but it was fun to watch.
The Laff a Lympics was probably the biggest draw. A huge all star cast of Hanna Barbera favorites. The Yogi Yahooeys, the Scooby Doobies and the Really Rottens competing in competitions around the world. Snagglepuss and Mildew Wolf were hosts of this series. The Yogis team consisted of the cartoon cartoon characters from the 60's. I always rooted for the Scooby's team because Blue Falcon and Dynomutt were on this team plus this was the team of comedy adventure characters. I'd say with the exception of Mumbly I'm betting the rest of the Really Rottens were made up for this show.
I never saw this series back in 1977, but I do remember seeing it when it was Scooby's All Stars in 1978. It consisted of the newer Scooby Doo episodes along with the Laff a Lympics and Captain Caveman shorts.
I miss this format and I'm hoping that WB will consider releasing the latter shorts, Laff a Lympics and Captain Caveman. Laff a Lympics is a series not to be missed. I love it whenever Mumbly grumbles after losing to the Scoobys and Yogis. WB needs to release this series on DVD.
