Hi,

Does anyone here have the closing theme to Scooby's Laff-A-Lympics, which represents only the Laff-A-Lympics episodes from Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics (1977-1978 season title) and Scooby's All-Stars (1978-1979 season title)?

These re-runs would employ Hanna-Barbera's then-new Swirling Star logo at the end (I remember this version when I saw it both on USA's Cartoon Express and on Cartoon Network pre-Boomerang), although the original logo for all 24 episodes in their respective original runs was the former "Rainbow H-B" logo (1974 version on the 1977-1978 episodes, and the 1978 version on the 1978-1979 episodes).

This banner title applied to L-A-L reruns broadcast on ABC (just as The Scooby-Doo Show banner applied only to the Scooby-Doo episodes that were broadcast as part of The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour, Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics, and ultimately the 1978 version of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?) from June 21 to November 1, 1980 (or from June 7 to September 27, 1980, if you're on the West Coast like I am). When it entered syndication (this was a prominent staple on USA's Cartoon Express and, later, Cartoon Network), the title was shortened once again to just Laff-A-Lympics, but kept the same format showing only the L-A-L episodes.

Thank you,
