“Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the DVD I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.”
Just a quick note, this review is about the disc set and not about the individual episodes.
Scooby-Doo! and Guess Who? The Complete Second Season was released digitally and on DVD in the US on June 28, 2022 for $24.98 and will be released in Canada on December 6, 2022 for $29.98. I have not heard about the release dates in any other countries.
Let's first take a look at the cover of the DVD set. It's interesting that they did a little play on "Guess Who?" in the title by making everyone look so confused. I don't mind the way that Shaggy, Daphne and Velma look, but Fred looks angry confused and Scooby just looks so off. His eyes are bugged out, the wrinkles on his head made him look like he has a comb-over and what is with his hand? He has paws, not human hands! I just cannot get past the hand!!
I do like the thumbprint background they used and especially the purple color, which really makes everyone stand out on the cover. Though I might have switched Fred and Daphne as Daphne's hair kind of blends in a little with Velma's shirt.

It seems like everybody wants to be one of those meddling kids, and a different pop-culture icon joins the Mystery Inc. gang in every episode of Season 2 of Scooby-Doo! and Guess Who? Get Sleuthing with Scooby-Doo, Fred, Velma, Daphne and Shaggy - because they'll need all the help they can get if they want to solve these mind-boggling mysteries. So who's on board? Terry Bradshaw gets off the bench to tackle a case, Axl Rose rocks some monsters, and Jason Sudeikis has villains laughing out loud! And Kacey Musgraves, Tim Gunn, Cher, Jessica Biel, Macklemore and many more sign on for spooky, side-splitting fun. See if you can guess who's next!
I would definitely suggest buying this if you like to have physical media in your collection like I do. I know my review isn't the most positive, but keep in mind I am only reviewing the DVD set on it's own, this doesn't include my review of the episodes, and really the content is why I buy the sets! I like to have them in my collection and be able to watch the episodes whenever I want.
There are some really great episodes on this set! Like Total Jeopardy! with Alex Trebek. Wow! That was an amazing tribute to him! A Haunt of a Thousand Voices with the voice actors - Frank Welker, Kate Micucci, Matthew Lillard, Grey Griffin. How awesome to see them in an episode and interacting with the characters they voice. Plus they brought back Cher and Sandy Duncan, who were originally on episodes of The New Scooby-Doo Movies. Season 2 was definitely my favorite season of the series!
Have you purchased your copy? If so, what do you think of it?
Yes, Scooby does look strange - sort of a 'Straight Outta Nowhere' look. And I too wondered about Fred's absence on the disks as well as the lack of special features.
ReplyDeleteLiving in Australia, I bought the UK R2 PAL DVD of season 1 - better resolution - but finally caved in for the NTSC as no word on any non-North America releases.
I also like the fingerprint design.
And I have no problem with the case holding the disks.
I'm glad your case works to hold the discs. It is such a weird thing that Fred was left off. And with the guest stars, they could have made some amazing special features. Bloopers would have been cool! Anything!
