 Early in each episode, there was a "dramatic pause", during an  action scene. This was a cliché normally associated with this show.  In the Japanese version, the "dramatic pause" is where the episodes  title appeared (the US version instead has the episodes title  against a red & yellow checkered background before the episode  begins). The only episode in the US version to follow the Japanese  versions formula was Part 1 of "The Race Against the Mammoth Car".
