Synopsis:

 


 
Scooby-Doo dug up new Saturday morning ground once again with this series, the cartoon extravaganza Scooby’s All Star Laff-A-Lympics. This was the very first two-hour Saturday morning animated show, co-headlining Laff-A-Lympics with episodes of Scooby-Doo. Each show also played one episode of Dynomutt, Dog Wonder and an episode of Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels. In season two the Dynomutt segment was dropped from the line-up, reducing the show to 90-minutes, and the show was retitled Scooby's All-Stars. 1980 brought about the third and final incarnation of the show, in the form of the half-hour Scooby's Laff-A-Lympics, which played Laff-A-Lympics re-runs from the first two seasons.

Laff-A-Lympics was a spoof of the Olympic games and ABC's Battle of the Network Stars. It featured 45 of the most popular Hanna-Barbera characters from the 1950s through the 1970s; separated into three teams that competed against one another in sporting competitions for gold, silver and bronze medals. The half-hour episodes were divided into two segments, each segment taking place in a different part of the world and covering a number of events. Points were awarded according to how well each team placed in each sporting event, and at the end of the show the team with the most points won.

The comical and offbeat events were presented in a format similar to an Olympic television broadcast, with hosting/announcing duties and color commentary provided by Snagglepuss, from The Yogi Bear Show, and Mildew Wolf, formerly of Motor Mouse & Auto Cat and The Cattanooga Cats. Non-competing Hanna-Barbera characters such as Fred Flintstone and Jabberjaw made appearances as guest announcers.

The first team - and winner of the majority of the competitions - were the Scooby Doobies, led by the dog-king of Saturday morning television, Scooby-Doo. Scooby's team featured then-current HB Saturday morning characters like Captain Caveman, Babu, Hong Kong Phooey, Blue Falcon and Dynomutt, and Speed Buggy.

Led by Yogi Bear, the Yogi Yahooeys featured mostly 1950’s and 1960’s characters such as Boo Boo, Wally Gator, Quick Draw McGraw and Yogi’s girlfriend, Cindy Bear.

Rounding out the three team line-up were the Really Rottens, led by snickering dog Mumbly. A gaggle of sinister no-gooders and cheats were at his side, including Daisy Mayhem and Sooey Pig, the Daltons (Dirty, Dastardly, Dinky) and Mr. and Mrs. Creepley.

Voiceman extraordinaire Daws Butler provided over one-third of the voices for this show, including two-thirds of the Yogi Yahooeys. Don Messick filled in a good number of vocal roles himself, with additional voices from Mel Blanc, former Stooge Joe Besser and several others.
