SuperFriends: The Legendary Super Powers Show

Series Summary
Episode Lengths: 30 minutes

The ABC Network corrected their goof of the previous year and returned the Super Friends to its 8:00 slot on Saturday mornings. The Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show was the first Super Friends series in a new format since 1979’s The World’s Greatest Super Friends.

This series consisted of 16 short episodes, treating us to 2 episodes weekly, which are approximately eleven minutes in length.

It ran from September 1, 1984 to October 27, 1984.

Unlike previous series, this one was produced as a tie-in with the Kenner Toys Super Powers line. These action figures were sculpted perfectly, had power action and contained a mini comic book and a file card as well.

This series was more in line with the very popular Challenge of the SuperFriends series, in that it also featured actual DC super-villains from the comics as regular adversaries.
