Superfriends dvds opinions? (1 Viewer)

I've been considering pulling the trigger and buying the 1973 and 1977 sets. With the New Superfriends Hour vol.2 hitting store shelves I'm finding myself wanting to go back in time and relive these cartoons I grew up watching. I was wondering if their worth it on dvd. I'm interested in the quality of the PQ overall. Anyone on here who owns these sets that would like to chime in, please do.

I don't know who you've been talking to, but the 1973 series (with Wendy, Marvin, and Wonderdog) has yet to be released on disc.

Okay....make it 1977 and 1978 Superfriends. The same question as before.

I have all of them but All New vol. 2. The picture quality is good. Probably better than what was originally seen. Not flawless by any means, but appropriate to the time and technology used.

Thanks Scott, for replying. Based on that, I'll go ahead and pick these up. I may even bite on that "New Adventures of Batman" dvd set. I just want a bit of nostalgia.

I did not know that. Thanks for the heads up. Is it on the way sooner rather than later?

With this latest release, what remains to be released from Superfriends other than the 1973 16 episode hour long series? I know there were a number of new shorts in the 1980-1982 run, but apart from that, I'm baffled as to what else is unreleased? The episode guides online are a bit confusing to map up against the released DVDs.

does seem like they have 4 more 2-disc boxsets coming.

The 1973 season of "Super Friends" is available for download on iTunes and it is in its original format. On most of the sixteen episodes they have included the "next week promo" that came just before the end credits. It has been fun watching these classic episodes again.

I have all of the released sets so far and have been really enjoying them. It's a very fun show and I agree the episodes look really good. The featurettes are pretty interesting too. My favourite incarnation is the Challenge of the Super Friends.

Mine too.

I think the best release so far are these All New Superfriends hour discs.
By actually putting the show back together as it was originally broadcast
is just the best way to watch it years later. Finally a great job!! Let's not
bring up "the Archie's" and other shows that have been released in syndicated
formats (cough-dynomutt-cough...)

Alright. You guys have convinced me to buy these sets. I can't wait to relive the childhood a bit.

Oh man, is this stuff great. I haven't laughed this hard in a good while. Batman and Robin in the Batmobile stopping at a motel to spend the night. Aquaman being bitch handled by an invisible killer whale and Superman has to save him. An intergalatic group of ants exiles their worst criminals to Earth to get them off their hands, "Their Earth's problem now"....too funny. Nice to see the galaxy has no trouble dumping their crap in our backyard. The best so far is Wonder Woman stopping to tell a kid how impressed she is that he followed the Law and used the crosswalk to go across the street. You know as the galaxies greatest heroes they have nothing better to do than watch traffic intersections. This stuff is a riot and I'm glad I bought it. Looking forward to the hilarity to come from this and future seasons.

wait till you see the name of the new hotel that the rats attack

Lousy Zantis giving us their problems!!

With the announcement this past weekend of "Superfriends: The Lost Episodes", does that take care of some of the 1980-1983 shorts from the unreleased list above? The press release states that 24 cartoons are included.

yes, it would be the last 3rd of the shorts.

Is it me, or has the release order of the SuperFriends series been done at random?
Maybe they're picking the set order out of a hat. Why didn't they start at
the beginning, and work through it in order? Whatever, i'm happy more
are on the way. I really enjoyed the AllNewSuperfriendsHour release,
really great format for a show!

Here's a great superfriends chronology:
