Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo is a cartoon series that was part of the famous Scooby-Doo family. It was the fifth version of the show. Unlike earlier Scooby-Doo episodes, this series changed things up.
Instead of just four teenagers and their dog solving mysteries, the show became more about comedy. The biggest change was that the bad guys were often real supernatural creatures, not just people in costumes.
A total of 33 half-hour episodes were made. Each episode had three short cartoons, each about 7 minutes long. This means there were 99 shorts in total! The show aired on ABC from 1980 to 1982.
Most of these shorts (86 of them) featured Scooby-Doo, his brave nephew Scrappy-Doo, and their friend Shaggy. The other 13 shorts starred Scrappy-Doo and a new character named Yabba-Doo.

The first season aired from 1980 to 1981. These episodes were shown as part of The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show. The new ABC Saturday morning cartoons started a bit later than usual in 1980, on November 8. This was because of a strike by the voice actors.
