The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show (And Scrappy Too!) is a 60-minute Saturday morning animated package show produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and broadcast on ABC from November 8, 1980, to November 7, 1981. The program contained segments of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo and Richie Rich.[1] The Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo shorts represents the sixth show in which Scooby-Doo appears.[2] This was the only Hanna-Barbera package series for which Scooby-Doo was given second billing and was also notable for Richie Rich's debut in animation.[3]
