"The All-New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show" (also known as simply "The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show") is the sixth incarnation of the long-running Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning cartoon "Scooby-Doo". It premiered on September 10 1983 and ran for one season on ABC as a half-hour program made up of two eleven-minute short cartoons. In 1984, the name of the show was changed to "The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries", with the actual show format remaining the same. "The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries" ran for another season on ABC.

Thirteen half-hour episodes, composed of twenty-six 11-minute episodes (two of which were double-part episodes) were produced under the "New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo" title in 1983., and thirteen more episodes, composed of twenty-six 11-minute episodes (six of which were double-part episodes) were produced under the "The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries" name in 1984.

Overview

For this incarnation of the show, Hanna-Barbera attempted to combine the most successful elements of both the original "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" format and the newer "Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo" format. Daphne Blake, a character from the original "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" format, was added back to the cast after a four-year absence. The plots of each episode feature her, Shaggy Rogers, Scooby-Doo, and Scrappy-Doo solved supernatural mysteries under the cover of being reporters for a teen magazine. Each half-hour program was made up of two 11-minute episodes, which would upon occasion be two parts of one half-hour long episode.

The second season of this format, broadcast as "The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries" in 1984, continued the same format, and, as an added bonus, included six two-part episodes featuring original "Scooby-Doo" characters Fred Jones and Velma Dinkley, both absent from the series for five years. It is worth noting that in the episode "Happy Birthday Scooby-Doo", Fred Jones is incorrectly identified as Fred Rogers; Rogers is Shaggy's surname. "The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries" theme song is performed in the style of Thriller-era Michael Jackson. The accompanying opening credits feature shots of a row of monsters dancing like the zombies in Jackson's "Thriller" music video.
