REVIEW: Scooby-Doo! and Guess Who? The Complete Second Season

 “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.

I was very excited to have the gang artwork on the discs, but my main question is...WHERE IS FRED???? Why didn't he make it onto a disc? They could have put Scooby and Shaggy on one disc, like they have done so often in the past, and then the 4th disc could have been for Fred. But they left him off! Poor Fred! 😔

My other pet peeve regarding the discs is that they don't lock into place in the case, so when I open the case I have to be really careful that none of them fall out. Disc 4 is the only one that seems to be secure in the case. I don't know if the sets sold in stores are more secure. 

People often ask about the languages on the discs. Audio is available in English and Spanish and subtitles are available in English, Spanish and French. 

There are no special features on the discs at all. They could have done some fun interview clips with the guest stars or behind the scenes type stuff, but there is nothing. Not even a trailer for the series! Are special features a thing of the past? 

The back of the box has another picture of the gang with scared/surprised looks on their faces. There is a synopsis of what is on the discs and a list of the episodes, 26 episodes in all for a total of 582 minutes. 

The synopsis reads:

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?

My Scooby Stuff - Day 212 - Arabian Nights DVD

Day 212 - Arabian Nights DVD

Scooby-Doo! in Arabian Nights is very misleading! I don't even know why Scooby's name is associated with this. Shaggy and Scooby tell the stories of a young girl aided by two genies - Yogi and Boo-Boo and of Sinbad the Sailor played by Magilla Gorilla. This is on my worst Scooby movie list! The only good thing about this is that Don Messick does the voice of Scooby and Casey Kasem does the voice of Shaggy.

The back of the DVD lists the special features, which include Get the Picture: Scooby-Doo and Shaggy, America Loves Scooby-Doo Music Video and Trailers for other Scooby and family videos.

Here is the inside of the DVD. The left side shows the scene selections and the DVD is on the right. Is it weird that Yogi, Boo-Boo and Magilla Garilla are the stars of the show, but they are not really on the DVD case at all? Magilla is very small on the inside cover of the DVD and Yogi is on the back cover.

Scooby-Doo! in Arabian Nights DVD is copyright 2003, though it came out in 1994. It's run time is 69 minutes.
