Release
Dates are in order of release:

Behind the scenes

 * The interviews are done in the style of the then-new VH1 documentary series Behind the Music.
 * The segments refer to the gang as Mysteries Inc., which could be Cartoon Network's take on their name, but their actual name is Mystery Incorporated, or Mystery Inc. for short; "Mystery" is not supposed to be a shortened "Mysteries."
 * Coolsville was where the gang grew up in the prequel series A Pup Named Scooby-Doo.
 * Mr. Blake's check is dated July 28th.
 * "Seven Days a Week" was originally in the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode "Scooby's Night with a Frozen Fright."
 * Scenes were taken from the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episodes "Mystery Mix-Up," "A Night of Fright is No Delight," "Scooby's Night with a Frozen Fright," and "Scooby-Doo and a Mummy, Too," "Haunted House Hang-Up," "Decoy for a Dognapper," "Mine Your Own Business," "A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts," "Hassle in the Castle," "Bedlam in the Big Top," "What a Night for a Knight," "Never Ape an Ape Man," The Scooby-Doo Show episode "The Creepy Case of Old Iron Face," and The New Scooby-Doo Movies episode "The Spirit Spooked Sports Show."
 * Newspaper clippings refer to the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episodes "What a Night for a Knight," and "Decoy for a Dognapper."
 * "Scoobert" was the full name given to Scooby in the A Pup Named Scooby-Doo episode "Curse of the Collar."
 * Shaggy being a vegetarian is a reference to how the vegan proud Casey Kasem wouldn't play Shaggy anymore after being asked to do a Burger King commercial.
 * "Norville" was the full name given to Shaggy in the A Pup Named Scooby-Doo episode "The Sludge Monster from the Earth's Core."
 * Shaggy said "Zoinks" once.
 * The romance between Fred and Daphne is alluded to, which was first referenced (outside of any Cartoon Network bumpers) in the Johnny Bravo episode "Bravo Dooby-Doo."
 * When Velma talks about Captain Morgan in the footage of "The Creepy Case of Old Iron Face," Pat Stevens's voice is used instead of B.J. Ward's.
 * Velma says "Jinkies" once.
 * The Coolsville Chronicle is dated May 15th.
 * Whether by coincidence or by allusion, the Coolsville Chronicle appears a few years later in issues of DC Comics' Scooby-Doo.
 * Special thanks are given to Sharon Adams, Jennifer Davidson, Craig "Sven" Gordon, Fran Hill, Stuart Hill, Pete Johnson, Chris Kelly, Ann McCarthy, Matt McElhannon, Bee Murphy, Larry Morris, Michael Ouweleen, Larry Slowinski, and L'Tashia Way.

Errors

 * Daphne's dad is called George R. on his check, although in the A Pup Named Scooby-Doo episode "Horror of the Haunted Hairpiece," his name was Nedley.
 * Shaggy always had long hair, so the revelation that he had a buzzcut until he was ten couldn't possibly make sense.
 * While this seems to reveal a never before seen older sister of Velma's, she will never be referred to again, and also it was later established in the direct-to-video film, Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo, that she actually had one younger sister called Madelyn (who was also never properly seen again).

Home availability

 * In the United States:
 * April 13, 1999: Warner Home Video releases Scooby-Doo's Greatest Mysteries on VHS (excludes part seven).
