Notes:
  1. In 1978, a selection of episodes from later Scooby-Doo series were aired on NBC under the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! name, and they were released in a DVD set marketed as its third season.
  2. Aired as part of The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour (1976), The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Show (1976–77), Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics (1977–78), and Scooby's All-Stars (1978–79). Nine of the 16 new Scooby episodes from Scooby's All-Stars originally aired under the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! banner, although they were repackaged and aired as part of Scooby's All-Stars for the rest of 1978 alongside the other eight new 1978 Scooby-Doo episodes. The 1976–78 Scooby-Doo episodes are now broadcast under the title The Scooby-Doo Show. The 16 episodes were released by Warner Home Video on DVD in their syndicated versions with The Scooby-Doo Show opening titles as Scooby-Doo! Where Are You?: The Complete Third Season.
