A really fun episode.
In this episode, the gang takes a trip to the beach. Scooby and Shaggy are fishing. However instead of catching a fish they catch a frozen cave man. When the ice melts, the gang has another mystery on their hands.
While this episode may not really be creepy, there is still a lot to love here. Even if he isn't spooky, the cave man is a delightfully fun villain. He has a great design and does feel like a real threat to our heroes. However what really makes this episode work is the humor. This whole episode is full of great slapstick humor, much of which is truly hilarious. In fact this may be one of the funniest episodes of the original series. The opening scenes at the beach and the chase scene are especially funny. Speaking about the chase scene, the song Seven Days a Week is one of my favorite Scooby chase songs. This song (performed by George A. Robertson, Jr. and written by him and Danny Janssen) is pure corny po-rock gold. The mystery element is also fantastic here with a great mislead. This episode also benefits from the great background art that enhanced all the Scooby mysteries of this time.
A very fun episode.
