DC's Super Friends: The Complete Series Is Coming To Blu-Ray Soon
This is one Blu-ray that's worth Gleeking out over
If you never watched it, likely because you hadn't been born yet, Superfriends aired on TV between 1973 and 1986, running for nine seasons in total. Starring DC Comics heavyweights like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman--and Aquaman, for some reason--the Hanna Barbera cartoon series teamed the superheroes up with the teens Wendy and Marvin, as well as their Scooby Doo-like pooch Wonder Dog. Yes, we know this is weird. This was wholesome entertainment, and the characters would tackle topics like pollution and other issues plaguing society.
Lex Luthor's Legion of Doom would also eventually be established to oppose the JLA as the show adapted with the times. Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder Dog were dropped in favor of the Wonder Twins and their monkey sidekick Gleek, and the franchise eventually wrapped up with the 1985-1986 season, The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians. This Blu-ray includes all the nine seasons of the JLA adventures, which is made up of the following shows, all cleaned up and remastered for Blu-ray:
- Super Friends (1973)
- Super Friends (1978)
- Super Friends (1980-1983)
- Super Friends: The Lost Episodes
- The All-New Super Friends Hour
- Challenge of the Super Friends
- The World's Greatest Super Friends
- Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show
- The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians
