Production

The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour debuted on September 11, 1976. After two months, an additional 30 minutes were added to the hour-long series (to accommodate repeats of the first two CBS seasons of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!), becoming the 90-minute Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Show, which is how it remained from December 4, 1976 to September 3, 1977. Like many animated series created by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, the show contained a laugh track created by the studio.

Episodes

# The Scooby-Doo Show Episode title Dynomutt, Dog Wonder Episode title Original airdate The Scooby-Doo Show Plot Dynomutt, Dog Wonder Plot
1 "High Rise Hair Raiser" "Everyone Hyde!" September 11, 1976 When Fred, Shaggy, and Scooby get jobs on a construction crew, they discover that the building site is being haunted by the ghost of a man whose house stood on the very spot as the new building. But could this mystery have less to do with sentimental phantoms than with the robberies taking place around town? Willie the Weasel has created a formula that turns him into Mr. Hyde. While Blue Falcon and Dynomutt are on the trail of the mysterious Mr. Hyde, they encounter the Mystery Inc. gang and Scooby-Doo (who are unaware that Mr. Hyde is a supervillain and not one of their typical "spooks"). In The New Scooby-Doo Movies-fashion, they team-up with Blue Falcon and Dynomutt (who happens to be Scooby's hero) to stop Mr. Hyde who has threaten to turn the entire city into Mr. Hyde's unless he is proclaimed Mayor. Fred and the others find a clue (which turns out to be Willie the Weasel's glove) and Blue Falcon deduces he is Mr. Hyde. Blue Falcon & Dynomutt have Mr. Hyde proclaimed Mayor and pretend to be turned in so Mr. Hyde will lead them to his secret lair and trick him into showing them the antidote to the Hyde formula. Willie the Weasel and his canine partner-in-crime "Snitch" manage to escape. Blue Falcon and Dynomutt head to the Mayor's Mansion to stop Hyde from retrieving his stolen loot. The Mystery Inc. gang setup one of their infamous "Scooby Traps" while Blue Falcon & Dynomutt confront Mr. Hyde and Snitch.

DVD release

The entire series was released on DVD as The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour: The Complete Series on Tuesday, March 7, 2006. However, the episodes contained therein are not the original 1976 broadcast versions (which would have included only one opening and closing credits sequence per episode), but the separate syndicated versions of The Scooby-Doo Show and Dynomutt, Dog Wonder. Some of the original Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour bridging sequences from '76 (the opening to the Dynomutt segment featuring Scooby-Doo, and the original end credits) were used periodically when Dynomutt Dog Wonder aired as part of the USA Cartoon Express from spring 1984 to summer 1992 (the 1978 syndicated titles were shown as well).
