When this show was on I watched it every time I could! I thought that the characters were really funny and all had great personalities. The animation in My opinion was crisp, clean, and really clear. Not to mention beautiful! Most of the characters in this show are hilarious like Looney Tunes characters that we all love. in My opinion these characters are the funnies and talented ever seen. In fact, The things that goes on in this series' cartoons are in My opinion nuts which that is what makes them hilarious! There are so many to like and laugh at and the silly things they do! If you like the original Looney Tunes then I strongly recommend that you watch this show!

I Never Thought Scrappy Was All That Bad.
cairn610 April 2004
Scrappy Doo: He is what some consider to be the most hated cartoon character of all time. Call me odd, but I got a huge kick out of the little dog. Yes he was loud, and yes he tended to go a bit overboard, but he seemed to be the exact opposite of his uncle, Scooby doo. And in many cases, opposite personalities make for great situation comedy. While traditionalist fans of the show hated the addition, perhaps Scrappy was added in order to entertain younger children....the audience producers were aiming for in that time period.
The Puppy's Further Adventures: This show was the "Puppy" part of the title and told the story of Petey, a dog searching for his lost master. This lesser known show was a favorite of mine, and sadly there are no DVD's or VHS releases produce as of yet of this gentle but engrossing series of stories. Hopefully they will someday, as there were quite a few fans of Petey and the gang.

The reason it lasts an hour its because they added new segments

When this show first came out in the fall of 1982, it featured not only Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo but the Puppy from the Puppys further adventures as well as Scooby Doo's uncle, Yabba Doo, which proved to be a hit on TV and lasted only one season. The show was released by Ruby Spears and Hanna Barbera, both at the time owned by Taft, and the animation is well done and the music great.
An Honest Review
generationofswine1 April 2017
3 Ghosts of Scooby Doo succeeded in updating the series for the 80s and at the same time turning the series from a horror/mystery show for kids to a more adventurous theme.
This series failed. It wasn't really Scooby Doo and, annoyingly, it thrust Scrappy to the forefront.
So not only do you not have a Scooby Doo show...but you also have too much of the worst possible part of the series.
Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue! and Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! are great in comparison and A Pup Named Scooby Doo is more true to the initial concept than this wreck.
Avoid at all costs, it is the worst of the Scrappy Doo era

Mediocre and Short Lived.

I recall watching this show on Saturday mornings in 1982. After sharing the spotlight with Richie Rich in 1980 and I guess 1981, Scooby shares his hour with some cartoon called the Puppy's New/Further/Great Adventures (Whatever!) I didn't care for it and choose not to comment on that portion. As for Scooby, this was one of the more mediocre and more forgettable shows.
Again, it's just Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy in only 2 episodes. Sometimes, they attempted to solve mysteries by working for Shaggy's unseen Uncle Fearless Detective Agency and other times, it was more like the funny shorts of 1980. The third short was something most deplorable. The moronic writers decided to put Scrappy Doo with another canine Uncle named Yabba Doo who was braver than Scooby and Yabba was owned by a Shaggylike character named Deputy Dusty. I'd forgotten his name until I found it on a Scooby website.
I'm sorry, but this series is so pitiful, that apparently, Hanna Barbera removed these shows and wisely changed the name to the Scooby Doo Puppy Hour and reinserted the classic shows from 1969-1970 and some of the episodes from 1976.
This show is bad, but not as bad as what is to come several years down the road.

Puppy Power!

Scrappy stole the show with his loving, energetic, bold performance. I loved him and he does not deserve all the bad press. An articulate puppy without fear was the perfect companion for the cowardly duo. There were real monsters too and lots of comic moments. I prefer episodes with Scrappy to those without him. He did not harm the show. He added entertainment value and once he was in he stayed. So some of the public must have liked him. Scooby & Shaggy certainly did. He might have caused trouble but he also splatted the monsters. A good friend to have really. The accompanying cartoon wasn't bad either. How could anyone resist a puppy? Puppy power!
Mediocre, even for Scooby Doo

Now I love Scooby Doo, he was part of my childhood. However apart from the voice work of Frank Welker, Don Messick and Casey Kasem, the decent music and also the presence of Scooby and Shaggy, I never did like this series. In fact I find it very mediocre, and one of the weaker Scooby Doo series with Shaggy and Scooby Doo! Get a Clue being the worst.
The animation quality was unimpressive. The backgrounds lack fluidity, the colours look flat and the character designs are inconsistent and off model. The story lines are uninteresting on the whole and hold few surprises, while the writing complete with tired jokes and unfunny dialogue contributes to making it one of the weakest-written Scooby Doo series.
The characters are mostly unengaging. Scooby and Shaggy are exceptions, they are very likable characters and Messick and Kasem are great voice actors and always give their all no matter how bad the material is. Fred is alright, but Daphne and Velma are underused, the support characters are dull and some of the voice actors sound as though they are overdoing it to make up for the writing, while Scrappy manages to be more annoying than he was when he dominated the later episodes of the Scooby and Scrappy Doo Show.
All in all, even for Scooby Doo, this is a mediocre and poorly done series. 3/10 Bethany Cox
