Series Summary

Episode Length: 7 minutes

In 1983, Hanna-Barbera did produce a third set of 7 minute shorts. There were 24 in total.

They actually aired in other countries that year, but not in America.

What did air in the USA were shows like the Monchichis, Rubik the Amazing Cube, and The Littles.

The only Super Hero shows found on Saturday mornings that year were all reruns shows. The final season of Spiderman and His Amazing Friends and the animated adventures of the Incredible Hulk reruns on NBC, and on CBS, Ruby Spears' Plastic Man, which was later replaced by Filmation’s Tarzan series.

Notes

• The entire Legion of Doom is reunited in one episode. Also, the Wonder Twins finally got to work with other Justice Leaguers, something that never happened before.

• The SuperFriends returned the following year (1984) as SuperFriends: The Legendary Super Powers Show, three of these lost episodes aired as part of that series.

• In the mid 1990’s, the SuperFriends returned to syndication in the form of the The Superman/Batman Adventures package, these lost episodes were part of this show and its American audience was finally exposed to Super Friends adventures they had never seen before.
