All Rise...

Judge David Johnson would have gotten away with this review, if it weren't for you meddling kids.

Editor's Note

Our reviews of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! The Complete First and Second Seasons (published October 20th, 2004), Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! Volume 1 (published January 29th, 2009), Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! Volume 2 (published April 30th, 2009), and Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! Volume 3 (published September 1st, 2009) are also available.

The Charge

"Boy, this mystery is getting more mysterious by the minute!"—Fred

The Case

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! Volume 4 contains four episodes of the classic Scooby Doo series, thrown together with no apparent theme other than "cha-ching!"

• "Which Witch is Which"
Hence the Spooked Bayou subtitle for the set; the gang gets stuck in a swamp and come face to face with a pair of apparent witches.

• "Go Away Ghost Ship"
Nice, an appearance by a ghost pirate!

• "Spooky Space Kook"
The Mystery Machine runs out of gas at an abandoned airfield and our heroes are immediately pursued by an alien robot thing.

• "A Night of Fright is No Delight"
Don't let the cute title fool you: this is a terrifying descent into madness as the gang spends a night in a haunted mansion and encounter…wait for it…a ghost!

I've got nothing to add to the awesome mythos of Scooby-Doo. What else can you say about a group of hippie teens who never change their clothes driving around in the dead of night in a van that should be under surveillance by the DEA and constantly encounter deranged wackos who employ the same modus operandi for all their idiot schemes, underscored by a painful and embarrassing laugh track?

Full frame, 2.0 stereo, and a bonus episode from Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!

The Verdict

Not guilty, I guess.
