In 1977, ABC had a programming block called "Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics". The "Scooby-Doo" segment of this two-hour block included 8 new episodes of "Scooby-Doo" (two of which featured Scooby-Dum and one of which, "The Chiller Diller Movie Thriller", guest-starred Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Dum's distant female cousin, Scooby-Dee), plus reruns from the 1976–1977 season. The name of the block was changed to "Scooby's All-Stars" for the 1978–1979 season, when the program was shortened to an hour and a half, after the cancellation of "Dynomutt". 16 half-hours of "Scooby-Doo" (featuring just the original five characters) were produced this season, and began airing earlier in the morning before the "Scooby's All-Stars" block as a third season of "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" in September. "Scooby's All-Stars" instead aired reruns of the 1976 and 1977 episodes for the first nine weeks of the 1978–79 season. By November, the early-morning airing of "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" had been cancelled, and the new 1978 episodes began airing during the "Scooby-Doo" segment of "Scooby's All-Stars".

The group was first referred to as the Scooby Gang by Xander Harris in the Season Two episode "What's My Line, Part One" as a reference to the group of monster-hunting teenagers from the Hanna-Barbera animated series "Scooby-Doo" that is otherwise known as Mystery Inc., who investigate and solve supernatural/occult monsters mysteries much like The Scoobies in Buffy. The first visible sign was in Season 1, Episode 11, where Willow is seen wearing a Scooby Doo T-shirt, Buffy sports the Daphne trademark neck scarf, and later Xander responds, "Can you say, 'Gulp'?" as Shaggy often does. Sarah Michelle Gellar, the actress who plays Buffy, would later also appear as Daphne Blake in the films "Scooby-Doo" and "".

The "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" episode "A Terrifying Round with a Menacing Metallic Clown" featured a flashback to Velma's fifth birthday, using the character designs from "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo", albeit with some modifications, such as Daphne wearing purple rather than pink. Fred and Velma were the only returning characters to speak in the flashback and were voiced by their normal voice actors Frank Welker and Mindy Cohn. The live-action film "Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins" establishes the team meeting in their teens. However, it can be seen as a prequel to the theatrical films.

Shaggy and Scooby-Doo have a mission: armed with an updated Mystery Machine, a loyal robot servant named Robi, their new riches, and the new and improved Scooby Snacks, they must stop the evil plans of Phineas Phibes and save the world. In episode 2, Shaggy upgrades the Mystery Machine from its original form, to a high-tech transforming vehicle. However, it usually transforms into machines inappropriate for the tasks at hand (however, in episode 11, it does transform into vehicles appropriate to finish the Polar Bear 3000). In their spare time, Shaggy and Scooby are fans of the show "Chefs of Steel", and the famous mystery solver Chad Chaddington.
This is the first Scooby-Doo animated series since 1991 to make extensive use of the Castle Thunder sound effect, which Hanna-Barbera began to stop using around 1994, and was very rarely used on "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" and on none of the post-2003 direct-to-video Scooby-Doo movies, to be replaced with new digitally-recorded thunderclaps.
