[The Toyroom]

I'm behind on quite a few of the Super Friends DVDs....

[UnderdogDJLSW]

This has been on my radar. Got a gift certificate for xmas with this DVD's name on it

[jquest]

I know this is the Wendy and Marvin episodes, But, what is the difference between all the others that have been released? I'm assuming they are going to come out and release more seasons, but, with what's been released, what's missing? aren't they all out already? I'm Confused?

[Riffster]

I think a part 2 of the Wendy/Marvin years and a few random ones still need to come out.. there's a thread about it and someone listed what's out and what needs to come out, it was a few months ago

[bizzaro megomauler]

Only bought the "Challenge of the Superfriends" set they were arguably the best, and for some reason I want to get the last series based around the super powers line, was that released?

As the ultimate authority on the SuperFriends, I will answer your questions and let you know what's out and what's not.

Glad we cleared that up.

I saw the 1st season today at Wal-Mart. Honestly, this version will be the last I get on DVD. I appreciate the more direct influence Alex Toth had on the look of the show, but the overly long, plodding stories full of well-intentioned scientists are just painful for me to watch. And then there's Marvin. The worst of all TV show add-ons.

Surely you haven't forgotten Scrappy Doo?!

I saw these on the tube a year or so ago and I was excited until I started to sit down and watch them....Ugggh! Excruiatingly slow!

[MIB41]

When the Superfriends originally came out on DVD I figured that would be a descent set to collect. But I never, in a million years, thought it could explode into 20 million boxsets and variations. It's insane. I grew up with this stuff and never knew there were so many different episodes. I guess, because they all looked the same, you couldn't distinguish new from old, plus there was never any continuity from one story to the next. I'm burned out on the whole thing. Warner Bros has milked this dry. And I use to think Sandy Frank milked the Battle of the Planets episodes...
Here's what I would like to know. When you get done looking at all of the various DVD boxsets what is the actually tally of Superfriends episodes from start to finish?

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Thanks for that very useful list filmation batman fan.

[Jason73]

I bought this set yesterday and have watched a couple of the episodes. I like it so far even if a little slow, but I'm a sucker for anything Superfriends.
