## Synopsis

Scooby's All-Stars (1977-1978) is a US animated comedy series from Hanna-Barbera, created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears for ABC, running two seasons and ninety-four half-hour episodes. Each episode is a bundle of short segments rather than a single story. The framing segments are Laff-A-Lympics, in which dozens of studio characters compete for gold medals in absurd events such as ostrich races, camel races and hunts for the Loch Ness Monster. Between them run Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels, the Scooby-Doo mystery segments with Scooby and Shaggy voiced by Don Messick and Casey Kasem, and Dynomutt, with Frank Welker voicing the robotic sidekick. Scatman Crothers voices Hong Kong Phooey and Mel Blanc voices Barney Rubble and Captain Caveman. The tone is cheerful, goofy and breezy, a bright 1970s Saturday morning package with quick gags and light chases. Fans of The Flintstones, Wacky Races and the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! will find the same playful studio-era charm. It suits kids and nostalgic adults looking for an easy, undemanding watch.
