The three stars I give to this release is not to the point to itself, but the shabby treatment it’s been given. It looks like the syndicated editions of this indicate have been old-fashioned to get the DVD, which means all the cliffhanging tags that ended the programs have been omitted. The modern series usually left you on a cliffhanger designate that was continued from one program into the next, and here, all the episodes slay nice and cleanly. I don’t spy any reason for this, since you are getting the complete season, after all. It’s a shame that so distinguished material was left off this release (when this is probably the only time it will ever net such a deluxe treatment), but I direct it’s better than not having it available at all. I wish Warner Bros. would pay more attention to what they’re leaving out when they release these Hanna Barbera sets. I wasn’t blissful about the edited shorts being included on their Tom & Jerry 2-disc station, the syndicated raze credits (instead of the more wonderful one from the current broadcast) former on the “Wacky Races” location, and certainly not over this. Even the lamer opening theme is worn on the Penelope Pitstop episodes. Fair very disappointing, overall.
Penelope Pitstop returns to your TV shroud in this DVD release, the third section of a trio consisting of WACKY RACES, DASTARDLY AND MUTTLEY IN THEIR FLYING MACHINES and THE PERILS OF PENELOPE PITSTOP. In the days of their release upon the public, they heralded Hanna-Barbera’s return to gag-laden slapstick comedy that began with such series as YOGI Acquire and HUCKLEBERRY HOUND.

The region is simple: Our semi-hapless heroine Penelope Pitstop, original from her tenure in WACKY RACES, is heir to a grand fortune of millions (which probably enables her to proceed the world and have adventures, if this series is any indication) . Unfortunately, her right guardian Sylvester Sneekly, in his guise of the Hooded Claw, is certain to end Penelope and find her fortune for himself. Hot on the stride to help Penelope Pitstop are the Ant-Hill Mob (also from WR) and their actual car Chugga-Boom, whose desperate attempts to rescue Penelope from the clutches of the Hooded Claw often wind up with the Mob having to be rescued by the strangely resourceful Penelope (who surely must be traditional to this sort of thing-after all, she DID hasten with Dick Dastardly) .
By today’s standards, this cartoon is dated, predictable and rather lame; however, it’s lame in a arrangement that can be described as unrepentant. It NEVER pretends to be more than it is, and it often manages to respond its contain goofiness simply by playing everything deadpan-straight. In this age of grossouts, fart jokes and pretentious self-referencing in cartoons, this is downright refreshing.

The assure cast features such HB stalwarts as Mel Blanc, Paul Winchell, Don Messick and Janet Waldo, who voices Mlle. Pitstop. Kudos must go to both the faded Gary Owens as the Narrator, whose breakneck color commentary on the action provides a manic Greek chorus to the proceedings, and the uncredited Paul Lynde as Sylvester Sneekly/Hooded Claw, whose ridiculous Evil-Villain laugh and sarcastic asides on Penelope’s perils mine occasional silly gold within this series. (In a featurette contained within this situation, Janet Waldo recounts how Lynde could often crack up the entire cast during recording with a simple three-word-line, using only vocal characterization, timing and inflection.)
There is one glaring flaw in this site, which has already been mentioned by another reviewer, and is also why I gave it only three stars: each episode begins with annoying syndicated theme music rather than the fresh Pitstop theme, which undercuts the enjoyment of the episodes. (The unusual theme music can collected be heard over the closing credits; why the syndicated theme was mature I do not know. It can only be chalked up to decisions at Warner Bros, the studio who needed to be convinced that people would actually choose a JUSTICE LEAGUE box plot.) All in all, TPOPP is an exquisite series on the whole, so honest fast-forward through the opening credits and wait for the ample theme music at the destroy, or wait until this situation is re-released properly instead.
