The All-New Super Friends Hour DVD

ClassicTVFan1981 · 01-02-2008, 10:04 AM

Hi,

With the first volume DVD set of The All-New Super Friends Hour ready to come out on January 8th, does anyone know what the final outlook is on it?

In other words, did the Warners find the original (1977) opening and closing title themes for it during preparation?

Regards,

Ben

I can't imagine Warner doesn't have the original openings and closings. They've been extremely good with the DC Comics properties thus far. I'm going to guess, though, we're going to have to wait until Tuesday to figure it out.

Who cares- what about the ORIGINAL 1973 Superfriends? Why hasn't that been released yet?

Marvin claims he owns the copyright on his superhero outfit and will sue if they don't pay him.

Okay, here's the deal:

1) This is the opening used for the show.
2) There is a short synopsis of the four episodes to follow immediately after the opening credits.
3) Each episode within the episode has a title card showing the two heroes and the title of the show (example: Batman and Wonder Woman on "The Brain Machine").
4) After the first episode, there is a preview for "Joy Ride."
5) The original "Safety, "Magic," "De-Coder" segments are included within each episode.
6) There is a short preview for the next complete episode at the end.

I wasn't born to watch these in the original form, but this looks to be the complete episodes. The first runs 46:08.

Cute, but that doesn't answer my question- why hasn't the first series been released?

as much as I enjoyed seeing the first season as a kid, compared to the later seasons, the hour long episodes are really boring and don't contain real super villains. The first season is a harder sell.

I thought I heard somewhere that the first series of Super Friends was in worse shape than the others.

There is a clip from that first season in the documentary on the Filmation Aquaman set. So it seems likely at least it is being prepped somehow.

The first couple seasons have episodes I fondly remember from childhood which I'm dying to see again: guest appearances from The Flash, Green Arrow, and Plastic Man (of whom the latter two were never seen on the show again, oddly enough) and a flashback to Krypton and Superman's origin. I wish they'd put these out...

Are the Superfriends '78 episodes uncut on dvd? They used the ANSH openings and the Challenge closings and the episodes barely run 22:00, unless the remainder of that half hour was Schoolhouse Rock.
