In 1982 at 11am on ABC was a little slice of cult legend, misdirected ambition and same-old same-old in the form of the hour-long Scooby & Scrappy Puppy Hour. This show was the first (and I think only?) collaboration between the Saturday Morning Juggernauts, Ruby-Spears and Hanna-Barbera. The first half-hour of the show consisted of three 7-minute shorts, a mix of "Scooby and Scrappy-Doo" (the version where Scooby, Scrappy and Shaggy travel across the country as the "Fearless Detective Agency" and get involved in typical spy or criminal cases) and "Scrappy and Yabba-Doo" (Scrappy-Doo's adventures with his uncle Yabba-Doo and Deputy Dusty in the wild west), followed by a full 30-minute episode of "The Puppy's New Adventures" in the second half-hour. The Scooby/Scrappy-related shorts were written and voiced at Hanna-Barbera Productions, but animated and edited by Ruby-Spears Enterprises.

(Also aired at 10:00 starting in the Spring of 1983)

DON'T PASS THIS UP JUST BECAUSE IT HAS SCRAPPY-DOO IN IT!!! This intro is one of the few glimpses of "The Puppy's Adventures" that you'll be able to find on the Internet! It is a low-down dirty SHAME that The Puppy's Adventures got lumped in with Scooby and his crew :( No laugh track, no wacky antics, just a puppy and a rag-tag crew of dogs on a journey to find the Puppy's owner.

IT WAS EPIC!
