There is no denying that animated superhero shows have come a long way since Super Friends. The Challenge of the Super Friends is very '70s in presentation, riddled with inconsistencies and drawing mistakes, and allowing heroes to fly even if they couldn't fly in the comics. However, there is no denying the staying power of the stories, its concept, the superheroes/villains pairing and its overall charm. Included in this set are a couple of nice features, particularly the superheroes/villains biographies, each with their own mini-video. There is also a good, brief documentary of today's comic book and TV show creators reflecting on their impressions of Challenge of the Super Friends and its influence on their careers. If you want to take a trip down memory lane to the Hall of Justice or the swamps of the Hall of Doom, you will not be disappointed by this set. --Rob Bracco

Customer Reviews of Challenge of the Super Friends - The First Season (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Fantastic fun! I love Challenge of the Superfriends. I,m a big comic book fan. I remember watching it every day after school. This show premiered in 1978 and is very popular. It's a classic version of the Justice League of America against the deadly Legion of Doom, 13 of the nastiest villains that include, Lex Luthor, Captain Cold, Sinestro, Solomon Grundy, Bizzaro, Black Manta ,Gorilla Grodd, Brainiac, Cheetah, Toyman, Riddler, Giganta, and Scarecrow. The epsisodes are fun and amusing. Kids will love this show. I watch them almost every month.
i love this one as much as my boys do!!!!
with the shape of t.v. today(and cartoons and channels like cartoon network that don't really show kid friendly cartoons anymore) my wife and i try our best to keep an eye out as to what our boys(8 and 6) get to see.we use a lot of dvds of old t.v. shows and cartoons to better keep an eye on what they see. with that in mind this set is great as it has heros that i grew up with and even bad guys i grew up with and this show is still fun without getting to graphic or any of the things that we feel are wrong with todays cartoons. i remember watching these as a kid and i get a real pleasure out of watching these again with my boys and seeing the look of wonder and the way they get into the stories and it is still fun to watch them myself(ok a few times i watch them after the boys are in bed,what can i say,their still very good shows. the extras are great and the transfers are the best,so give them a try and help the super friends defeat the bad guys one more time.

Get ready to experience again the ultimate battle of good versus evil in the classic animated comic book series "Challenge of the Super Friends - The First Season". From their secretive Hall of Doom, thirteen of the most sinister super villains of all time have banded together for intergalactic conquest. Now, the fate of the entire universe rests in the hands of the eleven powerful members of the Justice League of America. "Challenge of the Super Friends" was an early animated adaptation of the popular DC Comics' superheroes that premiered on ABC in 1978. Produced by the creative team of William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, the Saturday morning series featured the exploits of the world's greatest superheroes thwarting the evil plans of the notorious Legion of Doom. "Challenge of the Super Friends" included a colorful roster of heroes and villains, simple old-school comic book adventure and no goofy junior sidekicks. The stories, characters and animation are pretty straightforward, but the half-hour animated series does offer some decent amusement.
