Notes/trivia

 * This is the second season premiere of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo.
 * The name "Scooby" is revealed to be a nickname of "Scoobert", which Shaggy finds funny.
 * In the previous shows, Daddy and Mama-Doo were called Dada and Mumsy-Doo, respectively.
 * As part of the recurring gag, Scooby's parents also laugh at Shaggy's jokes then don't understand afterward.
 * Although Buster McMuttMauler is assumed to have died while locked away, Catcher on the Sly reveals that he's very much alive, although Scooby doesn't refer to this fact (except for a typical scared reaction that he's a dog catcher). Presumably because it was a Tom and Jerry-inspired short with no time for exposition.
 * This is the first episode without the involvement of Tom Ruegger, who ended his career with Hanna-Barbera to revive Warner Bros. Animation, which resulted in Tiny Toon Adventures, among others. Incidentally, Hanna-Barbera would be absorbed into WBA, which led into a series of direct-to-video films, and eventually a TV series, What's New, Scooby-Doo?.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches

 * Scooby's brother Skippy wears a red collar but when he showed Velma his new computer it's the same color as Scooby's. And in the final scene it went back to red.

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities

 * Presumably, Knittingham Puppy Farm is in Coolsville, although it's exact location is unknown.
 * Yabba-Doo, Scooby's brother, is not mentioned. Possibly he is younger than the others and not yet born at the time of this episode.
 * Mr. Trixenstuff looked much too heavy to play the ghost, who was slender and appeared to be floating around without legs.
 * Dr. Needlemeyer wasn't at the party even though she said she would be. It's possible that she had already left or she hadn't yet arrived.
