According to TV Shows on DVD, two more classic Hanna-Barbera shows are coming to DVD, but only in Canada. And these won't be from Warner Bros. either. Canadian company VEI is releasing both shows with a January 29, 2008, release date for "Drak Pack" and a February 19, 2008, release date for "Dinky Dog."

Although they'll be released only in Canada, it shouldn't be too hard to find a copy here in the states somewhere online.

TV Shows on DVD is reporting that Warner Home Video will release the complete
series of the Hanna-Barbera series "The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show" on a
two-disc set on March 18. All sixteen episodes will be present along with four
