Title: Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show DVD 8.7.2007 Post by: Michel Weisnor on April 14, 2007, 11:34:49 AM http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=7146
Recently, I ripped this series from Boomerang. The animation lags quite a bit from previous H&B DC projects. However, Super Powers Show introduces many elements of "then" DC comics. As mentioned, it was a direct tie-in to a toyline (of the same name): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/46/Spgroup.jpg Although, only a handful are actually on this cartoon. Be prepared for the toon debut of Firestorm, as well as special guest villain appearances, most notably Darkseid. **Product details states 16 episodes. Now, there were only 8 twenty-two minute episodes broken into 2 shorts per episode. Here's hoping TW releases Galactic Guardians along with Super Powers Show. Otherwise, technically, this DVD sets is only 8 episodes. ** Did anyone watch Super Powers Show in 1984? ***Episodes are still active on Boomerang at 12:00 am EST. Tonight features: No Honor Among Super Thieves/Mr. Mxyzptlk and the Magic Lamp.*** Bonus Artwork for: New Adventures of Superman http://tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=7150 New Adventures of Batman http://tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=7151 Title: Re: Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show DVD 8.7.2007 Post by: Super Monkey on April 14, 2007, 03:05:31 PM Quote Did anyone watch Super Powers Show in 1984? YES!!! I had many of the toys as well as a kid. I can't wait for this DVD now that you told me about it, of course I haven't seen it since the 1980's so I don't know how well they hold up nor do I remember any storylines (though I might start to once I see them again).

Title: Re: Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show DVD 8.7.2007 Post by: Superman of America on April 15, 2007, 08:47:22 AM These cartoons, the Super Powers & Secret Wars toys, & Jack Kirby's Super Powers comics are some of my fondest memories of the mid-80's. Please! They have to release Galactic Guardians & the lost Super Friends also.
Title: Re: Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show DVD 8.7.2007 Post by: TELLE on April 17, 2007, 12:17:53 AM I was a fan of the Superfriends but maybe too old for Super Powers. Not my fave Kirby comic either. At the time I was a Teen Titans fan so I should have enjoyed seeing Cyborg but I thought only Perez should draw him or something. And I've always hated Firestorm. Still, the voices on all the Superfriends/Super Powers are so great and so evocative of my childhood, I'm still nostalgic. Luckily I have some of these on vhs and saw them a few years ago on YTV in Canada, so I haven't been starving for this material. Challenge of the Superfriends/Legion of Doom is still the best series.
I love my old Superpowers toys, as well. Title: Re: Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show DVD 8.7.2007 Post by: TELLE on May 08, 2007, 08:55:25 AM This may be the worst episode, in terms of physics and story.

Aliens: Incredible! Superman is returning Earth to orbit! Cool, this uncut Filmation episode was snagged from a 16mm reel. |
