Great review. I’m glad the Warner Archive has done a great job on this set. I wanted to comment that the reason for two different opening theme songs for this show and many other Hanna-Barbera productions is that when they sold to markets outside of the United States, they did not have Ideal toys or Kellogg cereal sponsoring the overseas broadcasts. Instead, H-B always did two different opening credits for every show. One with the sponsor mentioned and one without a sponsor mention; and that second one was for the overseas markets.
