The New Scooby-Doo Movies is the second series in the Scooby-Doo franchise.
Overview[]
The New Scooby-Doo Movies ran on CBS from 1972 to 1974. Each episode featured a different guest star helping the gang solve a mystery. Among the most notable of these guest stars were Harlem Globetrotters, the Three Stooges, Don Knotts and Batman & Robin, each of whom appeared at least twice on the show. Hanna-Barbera musical director Hoyt Curtin composed a new theme song for this series, and Curtin's theme would remain in use for much of Scooby-Doo's original broadcast run. After two seasons and 24 episodes of the New Movies format from 1972 to 1974, the show went to reruns of the original series until Scooby moved to ABC in 1976.
Availability[]
Fifteen episodes of the series were released in DVD format as The Best of the New Scooby-Doo Movies, a four-disc set. The show's opening was also modified for the DVD release.
