Throwback Tuesday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. While digging for clams outside a close amusement park, the gang’s interest is piqued when the park suddenly comes alive without warning and an unusual creature begins stalking the attractions. “Foul Play in Funland” is the rare episode of classic Scooby Doo, Where Are You! where there wasn’t a human orchestrating shenanigans or any kind of motive to do harm. The amusement park setting offers some fun moments, a few of which would find themselves into various Scooby Doo opening montages.

With Daphne’s uncle playing one of the few guest-stars, it’s not hard to guess who is masquerading as the apeman (who oddly isn’t unmasked in the show’s tradition). The episode is memorable for Scooby-Doo (Don Messick) acting bravely early in the episode to save an actress from the apeman’s first attack and Daphne triggering a trap that sends Fred (Frank Welker) falling into a secret passage behind a bookcase (which would become part of the opening credits). As to the odd appearances of the parrot and a Scooby mask or the questionable motives of the stuntman putting a co-star’s life in danger merely in hopes to get a bigger role in the picture (which wouldn’t exist without the co-star), those are inconsistencies the episode doesn’t attempt to explain.
