 A True Classic March 26, 2006

Challenge Of the Superfriends was one of the best DC Comics cartoon shows ever. All of my favorite DC Superheroes(with the exception of J'onn J'onzz, The Atom, and Green Arrow)battles their arch-enemies in every episode. IMO, The Superfriends are much cooler than the current incarnation of the Justice League on Cartoon Network. If you're both a DC Comics fan and a Superfriends fan, this DVD set is for you.

Don't get me wrong, but Michael Minutaglio (another reviewer of this item) is right. Challenge of the Superfriends is AWESOME, but if you want to get the best bang for your buck -- "Challenge of the Super Friends - The First Season" (ASIN: B00023E88U) is it. "Challenge of the Super Friends - The First Season" is as close to ideal as Warner Bros. Video is getting. Like another reviewer, I am personally appalled at the "piecemeal" marketing approach Warner Video is taking when it comes to The Superfriends. However I do understand they are trying to make $$$ off selling these old favorites of ours, but I am still a fan nonetheless. I want the whole enchilada. I plan to write Warner Video to let them know they need to modify their marketing strategy. I already let the "Business Development" dept. at DC know how I feel (no response yet if ever). If you feel the same as me, you might find Warner Bros. address (in fine print) on the back of this item. My 2 cents.

While I love these DVDs I would have liked to see WB follow the "complete seasons" trend that seems to be so popular as of late. I guess it's for the best, if they ever come out with the superfriends complete seasons and the hogan's heroes complete seasons I'll never get anything done! I guess I should just be thankful for this bone.
 The Plan 9 From Outer Space of cartoons -- wonderfully bad! April 9, 2004

When I was a little kid, my brother and I loved the Superfriends.
Back in the mid 90s, the Cartoon Network started showing a lot of the old cartoons I used to watch when I was young, including the Superfriends. I tuned in for the nostalgia, and was shocked at how hilariously bad this cartoon is. Without a doubt, by far the worst made television I've ever seen. As far as I can tell, if they HAD editors, they were lobotomized, blind, or possibly in a coma. Errors I can think of off the top of my head: Batman's chest logo vanishing and reappearing in mid scene; Superman's chest logo's colors inverting briefly; Hawkman's wings vanishing and reappearing at random; Green Lantern's eyes briefly moving from their normal place to his forehead (overlapping each other) and back again; characters who cannot fly flying for no apparent reason; Green Lantern being outside the Legion of Doom headquarters helping Superman rescue, amongst others, Green Lantern(!); the lesser Superfriends appearing and disappearing at random; Green Lantern drawn with THREE ARMS in one scene! I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who gets a kick out of making fun of bad television and movies, Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans, fans of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. The season with the Legion of Doom is classically, astonishingly, mind-blowingly bad TV. The other seasons are pretty poor quality, but not quite bad enough to compare to this. I can't include a URL but google "Seanbaby superfriends" for sarcastic commentary on the show. As far as the DVD itself goes: the transfer is a good quality, looking and sounding better than any television broadcast of the show I've seen. The extras are pretty slim, pretty much all you get is a brief intro to each episode by story editor (they had one?) Jeffrey Scott. For some reason he is under the delusion he was making great television. Apparently he never actually WATCHED the show.
Great For Toddlers March 17, 2004

My 3 y.o. son is fascinated with superheroes. I have purchased some spiderman, batman, superman, hulk cartoon videos and have been disappointed in the violence and adult dialogue. I even tried vhs tapes from the 60's and those were more violent than the comics today. So it was a great relief to find this pair of SuperFriends dvd's. There is little to none violence and the 'Friends promote teamwork and using their minds rather than brawn to beat the bad guys. If your toddler needs a superhero fix I strongly suggest these dvd's.
