The Scooby-Doo Show is an Americananimatedmysterycomedy series. The title of the series is an umbrella term for episodes of the third incarnation ofHanna-Barbera'sScooby-Doo franchise. A total of 40 episodes ran for three seasons, from 1976 to 1978, onABC, marking the firstScooby Doo series to appear on the channel. Sixteen episodes aired as segments ofThe Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour in 1976, while eight aired as part ofScooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics in 1977. A final set of sixteen episodes came out in 1978, with eight running individually under theScooby-Doo, Where Are You! name and the remaining eight as segments ofScooby's All-Stars.

Despite the yearly changes in how they were broadcast, the 1976–1978 stretch ofScooby-Doo episodes represents, at three seasons, the longest-running format of the original show before the addition ofScrappy-Doo. The episodes from all of the three seasons have been rerun under the titleThe Scooby-Doo Show since 1980; theseScooby episodes did not originally air under this title. The credits on these syndicated versions all feature a 1976 copyright date, even though seasons two and three were originally produced in 1977 and 1978.

Outside the United States, reruns aired onCBBC in the United Kingdom until 2015. Like many animated series created by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, the show contained alaugh track created by the studio.

Scooby-Doo creatorsJoe Ruby andKen Spears, started working at ABC forFred Silverman as production supervisors for the Saturday morning lineup; they were both involved in the development and production of the 1976–1977 and the 1977–1978 episodes (in 1977, they formed their animation studio,Ruby-Spears Productions, as a competitor to Hanna-Barbera).^[1]

Mystery Inc. solves new mysteries in this show. The series also introduces Scooby-Doo's cousin Scooby-Dum (although in season 1, episode 5 Shaggy introduces Scooby-Dum as Scooby-Doo’s brother) who accompanies them on some of their trips.
