1* ActingForTwo:
2** Creator/JonathanWinters voices both himself and his farmer friend Maude Frickert. This is because she was a character he created for his comedy act in RealLife.
3** Creator/CaseyKasem voiced both Robin and Shaggy in the Batman episodes. Fortunately, his impression of Creator/BurtWard is sufficiently good that it's not ''immediately'' obvious.
4*** A bit more obvious when the Scoobies team up with WesternAnimation/JosieAndThePussycats, given that Kasem's Alexander Cabot voice is incredibly similar to Shaggy's, and that both are cowards.
5* EditedForSyndication:
6** Until it began airing on the Cartoon Network[[note]]Which restored the original one hour versions.[[/note]], reruns divided each episode into two parts.
7** The streaming version of the intro (as well as its 2005 DVD release, as seen below) edits out all non-Mystery Inc. characters with clips from other episodes.
8* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: In 2005, Warner attempted to release a DVD set with the full series, but was refused the rights to several of the celebrities and characters that were guest stars, including Series/TheAddamsFamily, WesternAnimation/JosieAndThePussycats, [[Music/TheMonkees Davy Jones]], Music/SonnyAndCher, and WesternAnimation/{{Jeannie}}. A "Best Of" DVD was released with 15 episodes containing the guest stars for whom Warner had been granted the rights. The opening titles of the DVD of this release were also edited to remove all the guest stars. Later developments that WB can release other shows containing those characters has raised questions of exactly how many of the nine others are holding up the release. And even back then, the first release has a "1" on it which, back then, barring one outlier, meant they at least planned to put out a "2". This also affected streaming and downloading, but did not affect broadcast, and all 24 episodes were in regular rotation on Cartoon Network and Boomerang in the 1990s/2000s, and still today whenever the show airs. In 2019 (the year of [[MilestoneCelebration the Scooby-Doo franchise's 50th anniversary]]), Warner [[https://www.animationmagazine.net/home-entertainment/new-scooby-doo-movies-come-home-in-almost-complete-lost-episode-sets/ announced]] that eight of the nine "Lost Episodes" would finally come to DVD, both by themselves, and in an "(Almost) Complete" DVD and Blu-ray with the installments cleared in 2005.
9* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: The show is the first appearance of Jeannie (and by proxy Babu and the gang) in Poland, as Series/IDreamOfJeannie and its AnimatedAdaptation were never broadcast in the country.
10* MissingEpisode: As of 2019, Warner apparently still can't release "Wednesday is Missing" (the one where Scooby meets the Addams Family) on DVD. It is expected this was a hold up between either the John Astin or Carolyn Jones estate.
11* OrphanedReference: "Wednesday is Missing" has the cast frequently reference encountering a mummy, but none appear in that episode.
12* RoleReprise:
13** The guest appearance by the Addams Family has Creator/JohnAstin, Creator/CarolynJones, Creator/JackieCoogan, and Creator/TedCassidy reprise their roles as Gomez Addams, Morticia Addams, Uncle Fester, and Lurch.
14** The two episodes featuring Batman and Robin have Olan Soule and Creator/CaseyKasem reprise their roles as the Dynamic Duo from ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfBatman'', in addition to Larry Storch and Ted Knight reprising their respective roles as the Joker and Penguin.
15** Larry Harmon and Jim [=MacGeorge=], who had respectively voiced Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in the Hanna-Barbera ''Laurel and Hardy'' series, reprise the parts here.
