Behind the scenes

  • This was distributed around the time The Scooby-Doo Show was airing on ABC. Both this filmstrip set and the title cards in the TV series use the same font for the Scooby-Doo title.
  • Each segment begins with Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby wearing deerstalker hats like Sherlock Holmes.
  • Scooby's so-called poetry line of "Mary had a little dog," is based on the nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb".
