=== ''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo'' shorts ===
As a result of ''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo''{{'s}} success, the entire show was overhauled in 1980 to focus more upon Scrappy-Doo. At this time, Scooby-Doo started to walk and run anthropomorphically on two feet more often, rather than on four like a normal dog as he did previously. Fred, Daphne, and Velma were dropped from the series, and the [[Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo (1980 TV series)|new ''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo'' format]] now consisted of three seven-minute comedic adventures starring Scooby, Scrappy, and Shaggy instead of one half-hour mystery. Most of the supernatural villains in the seven-minute ''Scooby and Scrappy'' cartoons, who in previous ''Scooby'' series had been revealed to be human criminals in [[costume]], were now real within the context of the series.

This version of ''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo'' first aired from 1980 to 1982 as part of ''[[The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show]]'', an hour-long program also featuring episodes of Hanna-Barbera's new ''[[Richie Rich (1980 TV series)|Richie Rich]]'' cartoon, adapted from the [[Harvey Comics]] character. From 1982 to 1983, ''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo'' were part of ''[[The Scooby-Doo/Scrappy-Doo/Puppy Hour]]'', a co-production with [[Ruby-Spears Productions]] which featured two ''Scooby and Scrappy'' shorts, a ''Scrappy and Yabba-Doo'' short featuring Scrappy-Doo and his [[Western (genre)|Western]] deputy uncle Yabba-Doo, and ''[[The Puppy's New Adventures]]'', based on characters from a 1977 Ruby-Spears TV special. Despite the popularity, this was negatively hated by fans for how it dropped the mystery format and other main characters like Fred, Daphne, and Velma.

Beginning in 1980, a half-hour of reruns from previous incarnations of ''Scooby-Doo'' were broadcast on ABC Saturday mornings in addition to first-run episodes. Airing under the titles ''Scooby-Doo Classics'', ''[[Scary Scooby Funnies]]'', ''The Best of Scooby-Doo'', and ''[[Scooby's Mystery Funhouse]]'', the rerun package remained on the air until the end of the 1986 season.<ref name="McNeil3">{{cite book |last1=McNeil |first1=Alex |year=1996 |title=Total Television |edition=4th |page=732 |location=New York |publisher=Penguin Books |isbn=0-14-024916-8}}</ref>
