Scooby-Doo! - A Clue for Scooby Doo television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. A trip to Rocky Point Beach leads to the discovery of a glowing ghost haunting the shore in an old diving suit. While legend says the Ghost of Captain Cutler has been making yachts along the coast disappear, it’s actually not all that far from the truth as the ghost is in fact the very much alive Cutler who had been stealing ships to resell them. The episode is notable for Mystery, Inc. doing a bit of underwater investigating, Scooby-Doo (Don Messick) discovering a valuable clue, the simple yet visually-impressive glowing ghost, a trap which (as always) fails to work as intended but still nabs a ghost, a few red herrings (including a book of witchcraft), and the unmasking (notable for even surprising members of the Scooby gang).

Scooby-Doo! - The Headless Horseman of Halloween TV review

Today’s Throwback Tuesday takes us back to a Halloween-themed episode of The Scooby-Doo Show that pits Mystery, Inc. against the Headless Horesman. While attending a Halloween party as the guest of the great-great granddaughter of Ichabod Crane, Scooby-Doo (Don Messick) encounters a Headless Horseman on horseback who is after Gertrude Crane‘s “cursed” diamond necklace. Other than using Washington Irving‘s famous character, the episode is also notable (but not in a good way) for the appearance of Scooby’s cousin Scooby-Dum (Daws Butler) who fancies himself something of a detective (despite being dumber than a post). In the usual manner, the gang is able to put together enough clues to uncover the truth behind the haunting and the sudden reappearance of the legendary monster. While not one of the better mysteries, the Headless Horseman (both before and after he takes a head) provides a memorable villain for the episode.
