SCOOBY's ALL-STAR LAFF-A-LYMPICS - Athens & the Ozarks

Air Date/Released Saturday, October 15, 1977
Station/Studio ABC / Hanna-Barbera Prods.
Featuring Joe Besser (Solo)

3 teams of cartoon characters travel around the world, engaging in LAFF-A-LYMPICS events for points and a gold medal. The teams are "The Yogi Yahooies," "The Really Rottens," and "The Scooby Doobies." Hanna-Barbera adapted its WACKY RACES format... capitalized on its "Scooby Doo" franchise, and the 1976 Olympics... and combined them to create this showcase for the studio's past and present character roster. Joe Besser reprises his JEANNIE character 'Babu,' and Gary Owens (co-sponsor of The Three Stooges' 1983 star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame) is the voice of 'Blue Falcon,' both members of the "Scooby Doobies." Several episodes also feature 'Jabberjaw' as a guest commentator; 'Jabberjaw' is a friendly great white shark, adapted on Curly Howard and Rodney Dangerfield.

Athens: pole vault, discus throw.
The Ozarks: rail cart race, keelboat race; 'Babu' competes for the "Scoobys" in the keelboat race.


24 episodes were produced: 16 as 1/4 of the 2-hour SCOOBY'S ALL-STAR LAFF-A-LYMPICS (1977 - 1978), and another 8 as part of the 90-minute SCOOBY'S ALL STARS (1978 - 1979). They reran as the half-hour series SCOOBY'S LAFF-A-LYMPICS (1979 - 1980).
