Scooby-Doo! - Nowhere to Hyde television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. In a twist, a ghost finds the gang in “Nowhere to Hyde” when the Ghost of Mr. Hyde (John Stephenson) hides in the back of the Mystery Machine after a jewel robbery. Once discovered, the ghost escapes and Mystery, Inc. chases him to a spooky house in the middle of nowhere where they find a scientist (Stephenson) suffering from blackouts and his unusual housekeeper Helga (Susan Stewart). While it’s unclear how exactly Hyde is a ghost, the design of the monster of the week is a lot of fun.

Scooby-Doo! - That's Snow Ghost television review

A trip to the nearly abandoned Wolf’s End Lodge ski resort almost immediately becomes a case for Mystery, Inc. when they discover the existence of a Snow Ghost haunting the area. The Tibetan hermit Fu Lan Chi tells the gang the history of the creature. It’s an odd sequence, both because the find the man living in a cave in the wilderness and because at the end of the episode he isn’t involved at all in the current hauntings making him a rare red herring for the series.

Scooby-Doo! - Spooky Space Kook television review

Throwback Thursday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. Running out of gas near an abandoned air field, Mystery, Inc. decides to investigate the odd appearances of a Space Ghost haunting the area. Following some mysterious glowing footprints, the gang gets a look at the Space Ghost, and his ship, who chases them around the abandoned buildings before being trapped in a wind tunnel. The episode is notable for Freddy (Frank Welker) getting stuck in a sticky situation rather than Daphne (Stefanianna Christopherson), Shaggy (Casey Kasem) and Scooby (Don Messick) discovering the majority of the clues, the unique setting of the creepy air field, and a story that doesn’t allow enough time for a trap as the villain is caught running for cover when the Sheriff arrives. The design of the Space Ghost is one of the more memorable of the series and has made other appearances over the years in comics and later series.
