Did this show really come out in 1988?? I thought it was much younger than that!! I would have thought it would have been 1998 because I thought it was new.

To say the truth, it was. I remember this show a bit to know that it's real premiere was September 10, 1988 on ABC. It only looks new, because it used crisp animation, and it was recorded with a stereo soundtrack to sound clear, therefore looking 10 years younger than it truly is. That may be the cause of confusion.

Off subject, I would say that there were two other Scooby shows they DID make year mistakes on:

"The New Scooby and Scrappy Doo Show" is on here, and says it was from 1983, when it was actually premiered on September 20, 1986.

"Scooby's Mystery Funhouse" also had a year error in it's year date. It says here that it was from 1985, when it actually premiered on October 3, 1987.

Hope that covers it all for you.

you seem to know so much about the series can you tell me who does the voice for daphny in a pup named scooby the voice sounds familiar but can't place it and IMDB doesn't have a list for a pup named scooby...

I think I know who you mean, she sounds like Tails in Sonic the Hegehog (the one with Scratch and Grounder).

Are you sure about "The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show"? I thought that one came out before "The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries," which supposedly premiered in 1984, followed by "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo," which supposedly premiered in 1985, are the premiere dates for these two incorrect as well?

jahern82, Kellie Martin was the voice of Daphne. If you click on "more" under the cast listing, the entire cast appears.

Yes, it did, I own up to it, I was 11 when it made its premiere on ABC, and it was great, the memories.

Yep, it's definitely that old. I remember watching it before I even started kindergarten, and I'm 21 this year. It's crazy, I know.

Hell, before we had a VCR, I'd use a microphone and a tape recorder so I'd have basically a radio-show type version of it.

"A Pup Named Scooby-Doo" absotively posilutely debuted in 1988. I watched it from 88-89, then my family moved in mid-89, and my new local affiliate didn't air it (ABC aired promos galore, but Saturday morning news aired in its place). In '89/'90, I used to drag a portable TV into the back yard on Saturday mornings and watch a fuzzy (nearly unwatchable) transmission from a distant ABC affiliate. It began airing on Cartoon Network sometime in the mid/late '90s (I didn't get CN until 2000, by which time it was already airing).

Also notable, bms220 offered some misinformation above. The soundtrack for "Pup" is not in stereo (strange, since most shows were in stereo by the time it debuted); 1983 is correct for "The New Scooby and Scrappy Doo Show" and "Scooby's Mystery Funhouse" (originally titled "Scary Scooby Funnies") debuted in '86 if memory serves (it replaced "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo," which was on in 85, but didn't air for an entire, yearlong season).
