The Complete First and Second Seasons includes all 25 stories first broadcast from September '69 to October '71, a growth period in which canine hero Scooby's voice (by Don Messick, who also voiced The Jetsons's pup, Astro) was gradually refined from murky garble to Scoob's more familiar, "Rrroowwrr"-inflected, human-like speech.
This set also represents the pre-frills Scooby-Doo: no guest appearances by Don Knotts or Batman, no Scrappy-Doo--just adventure and occasional bubblegum pop tunes by Danny Janssen and sundry co-writers (e.g., "Pretty Mary Sunlite" in the episode "Don't Fool with a Phantom").
Chuck Jones and other great studio animators sneered at the cheap look and lazy craftsmanship of Hanna Barbera's television cartoons in the 1960s, but there's no question HB's original, 35-year-old Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

The Flintstones was The Honeymooners in the Stone Age, whereas The Jetsons was Blondie in the future — even to the point of Penny Singleton, who played Blondie in films and on TV, providing the voice of Jane Jetson.
Other voices were George O'Hanlon (better known as a face actor than a voice actor) as George, Janet Waldo (Penelope Pitstop, Morticia Addams) as daughter Judy, Daws Butler (Huckleberry Hound, Peter Potamus) as son Elroy, and Don Messick (Scooby-Doo, Atom Ant) as the dog, Astro.

So, with the stroke of an eraser, Elroy became Keith, Judy became Laurie, Astro was turned into a robot dog named Orbit, and the far-out friends of the Jetsons were now the far-out friends of the Partridges.
But when Joe Barbera marched into his sales meeting with CBS, it was to pitch a new updated version of The Jetsons-- not a space age version of the Partridges.
His idea was to bring Elroy into high school, make Judy an ace reporter, and add a wild assortment of far-out friends to hang out with them and their dog Astro.
