voicemaster71 Review of The Ri¢hie Ri¢h/Scooby-Doo Show

The Ri¢hie Ri¢h/Scooby-Doo Show (1980–1982)

While Richie Rich debuts, Scooby and Scrappy Doo Take the Comedy Route.

[6/10 · 5 January 2007]

I used to watch this cartoon as a kid just to watch it. But I recall enjoying the Scooby cartoons more than Richie Rich. These Scooby Doo shows have cut the cast in half (Only Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy traveling around in the Mystery Machine) and getting into all sort of jams. These shows played more toward comedy and no more mysteries to solve. I don't have much to say about Richie Rich, but I did enjoy the Scooby Doo episodes even though they were nothing like the old mystery solving shows. I remember when this series was rerun in 1984 and titled the Scary Scooby Funnies and for the most part, that was what they really were. I think the only episode I recall from this series was when they have a run in with a bullying truck driver and his flaky assistant and things get worse when Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy accidentally take his van instead of the Mystery Machine. Although I did not enjoy this series as well as the original, I can say that I did enjoy watching at them.
