The Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo shorts represents the fifth incarnation of the Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning cartoon Scooby-Doo series. A total of 33 half-hour episodes, each of which included three 7-minute shorts, were produced over three seasons, from 1980 to 1982 on ABC. Thirteen episodes were produced for the 1980–81 season, and seven more for the 1981-82 as segments of The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show. The remaining thirteen episodes were produced as segments of The Scooby & Scrappy-Doo/Puppy Hour for the 1982-83 season. Out of the 99 shorts that were produced, 86 of them feature Scooby-Doo, his nephew Scrappy-Doo and Shaggy without the rest of the Mystery Inc gang, and the other 13 only feature Scrappy-Doo and Yabba-Doo.

Episodes
The following guide only includes 30 minute Scooby-Doo segments from each show. It does not include other series from the original broadcast package shows.
Season 1 (The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show)
The following ran from 1980–1981, as segments on The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show. That show, and the rest of the new 1980 ABC Saturday morning lineup, did not debut until November 8 (instead of the traditional first or second week of September) because of a voice actors' strike.
Season 2 (The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show)
The following ran in 1981, as segments on The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show.
Following the final first-run episode on October 31, reruns from the first seasons were rerun alongside episodes from the second season.
Season 3 (The Scooby & Scrappy Doo/Puppy Hour)
The following ran in 1982, as segments of The Scooby & Scrappy Doo/Puppy Hour. All segments were written and storyboarded at Hanna-Barbera, but were produced and animated by then-sister company Ruby-Spears Enterprises. Note: The third episode for each air date listed is the Scrappy and Yabba-Doo episode from that date.
