Were the episodes with the "next week" references added to the DVD?

Sorry, I'm a huge closet Hanna-Barbera fan, just need to know. Wacky Races was my favorite cartoon as a kid, and I am looking to buy the DVD set.

Didn't see an answer to this one yet...

If memory serves (we checked it out from the library), the DVD set has exactly two episodes with the closing narration.  And, of course, none of them have the little 30-second interstitial piece that ran between races in the middle of the commercial break.

/don't even get me started on what they did to "The Perils of Penelope Pitstop"

They're hidden in an Easter Egg.

Since the discussion brought up Scooby and Dynomutt, I've always wondered...

The intro to the 1976 "Scooby-Doo Show" always had, what to me, was a weird edit. You can check it out here - it's at the :34 second mark. It's when Scooby and his cousin, Scooby-Dum, slap hands and hug. I always wondered if that had anything to do with the show originally including Dynomutt.

/And oh yeah, I'm also a huge H-B fan too

Are you talking about the weird edit between when they slap hands and hug? I think it came from an episode, and they said something in between the slap and hug.
