Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo
Pup power unleashed in the scrappiest corner of the Mystery Machine!
Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo is an American animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for ABC, the fourth incarnation of the Scooby-Doo franchise. It premiered on September 22, 1979, and ran for one season of sixteen half-hour episodes. With ratings declining and ABC threatening cancellation, the show was overhauled for the 1979–1980 season by adding Scooby's nephew Scrappy-Doo, voiced by Lennie Weinrib, and changing its name.
