Scooby's All-Star Laff-a-Lympics is an animated comedy that aired on ABC. It was a program block that ran for two years. For its first year, it was 120-minutes and was comprised of four half-hour segments: Scooby-Doo, Laff-a-Lympics, The Blue Falcon and Dynomutt and Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels. The second year, it was renamed to Scooby's All Stars, was 90 minutes long and had the same segments except The Blue Falcon and Dynomutt. Note that not all segments had the same amount of new episodes produced. Of the 24 episodes, all 24 featured new Laff-A-Lympics (16 first season shows and 8 new second season shows) and Captain Caveman segments, but only 8 from the first season featured new Scooby-Doo segments and only 4 from the first season featured new The Blue Falcon and Dynomutt segments. Episodes without new Scooby-Doo, Laff-a-Lympics and/or The Blue Falcon and Dynomutt featured reruns of episodes from previous series.

Title card for Scooby's All-Stars.

Before this series, Dynomutt appeared in The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour, which was also the most recent Scooby-Doo series before this one. Season 2 had the show renamed Scooby's All-Stars. After this series, Scooby-Doo continued in Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo and Captain Caveman continued in Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels.

Of the two newer segments, Captain Caveman & The Teen Angels had a hirsute prehistoric crimefighter teamed up with three nubile teens in mystery solving, and Laff-a-Lympics had 45 Hanna-Barbera characters pared out in three teams--the Yogi Yahooeys (a team of funny animal characters from H-B shows mainly from the late 50s and early 60s--only the Great Grape Ape is from later, the 1970s), the Scooby Doobies (superhero and detective characters from the 70s H-B shows), and the Really Rottens (a team of no-goodniks created especially for the show*)--in athletic competition similar to the trash-sport Battle Of The Network Stars specials of the time.

(*--EXCEPTIONS: Mumbly was created a year ealier as a detective on Hanna-Barbera's Tom & Jerry revival. The Creepleys appeared a couple of times as the Flintstones' next door neighbors in the mid 60s, and permutations of the Daltons appeared as antagonists in episodes of The Huckleberry Hound Show in the late 50s. All other Rottens characters were originals.)

Laff-A-Lympics was divided into two segments on each show, each segment taking place in a different locale. It was aired singularly as just Laff-A-Lympics on ABC in 1980 and 1986.

The team members:

• The Yogi Yahooeys: Yogi Bear (team captain), Boo Boo Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Pixie, Dixie, Mr. Jinks, Quick Draw McGraw, Cindy Bear, Snooper, Blabber, Augie Doggie, Doggie Daddy, Hokey Wolf, Wally Gator, Yakky Doodle, and The Great Grape Ape.

• The Scooby Doobies: Scooby Doo (team captain), Norville "Shaggy" Rogers, Dynomutt, The Blue Falcon, Hong Kong Phooey, Speed Buggy, Tinker, Captain Caveman, Dee Dee Skyes, Taffy Dare, Brenda Chance, Babu, Scooby Dum. (Originally, Josie & The Pussycats and Jeannie were to have been part of the team, but clearance issues with Radio Comics and Columbia Pictures kept them out.)

• The Really Rottens: Mumbly (team captain), Dread Baron, Daisy Mayhem, Sooey Pig, The Great Fondoo, Magic Rabbit, Dinky Dalton, Dirty Dalton, Dastardly Dalton, Mr. Creepley, Junior Creeply, Mrs. Creeply, Orful Octopus. (In the final issue of the Laff-A-Lympics comic book by Marvel Comics, it is revealed that Dread Baron is the brother of Wacky Races villain Dick Dastardly. Also in several episodes of season 2, Mumbly is misidentified as Muttley, of whom Mumbly bears a resemblance.)

• On-field commentators: Snagglepuss, Mildew Wolf. (Mildew was originally part of the It's The Wolf! segment of Hanna-Barbera's 1969 series The Cattanooga Cats and was voiced by Paul Lynde. At this point in time, Lynde was subject to scandal and was replaced by John Stephenson.)

• Guest appearances: Jabberjaw, Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble. (Alan Reed, the voice of Fred Flintstone since 1960, lent his voice to Fred for the final time in the Laff-A-Lympics debut episode. He died a couple of months after the episode aired. Henry Corden replaced him afterwards.)
