NEW SCOOBY-DOO MOVIES, THE - Mystery in Persia (a.k.a. Scooby Meets Jeannie)

Air Date/Released Saturday, September 22, 1973
Station/Studio CBS / Hanna-Barbera Prods.
Featuring Joe Besser (Solo)

The Saturday morning series became hugely popular in its first two half-hour seasons, featuring the mystery-solving teenagers and their talking great dane, SCOOBY DOO, WHERE ARE YOU? Hanna-Barbera revised the show's format to this one-hour series, with various celebrities guest-voicing as themselves, joining the Scooby gang to face supposedly supernatural mysteries and villains. Celebrities included Dick Van Dyke, Don Knotts, Cass Elliot, Jonathan Winters, Sonny & Cher, Don Adams and Tim Conway, as well as The Three Stooges, Laurel & Hardy and Batman & Robin. Crossover episodes with other animated H-B series involved THE ADDAMS FAMILY (with the voices of the original 1960s cast) and JEANNIE.

After the Mystery Machine gang meet up with Jeannie and her friends during a country drive, the Great Hadji commands Jeannie and Babu to Persia, to help the ancestor of an ancient friend. The ancestor is a young prince, whose Uncle (and vizier) is plotting against him with the help of an evil genie. Everyone decides to go along and help Jeannie, especially considering Babu's (Joe Besser) frequent but well-meaning goof-ups.
