Stands up well

I have been periodically watching Challenge of the Superfriends -- yes, this was the one with Apache Chief, Black Vulcan, and Samurai


Despite the fact that the latter three never existed until created by Hanna-B, and also the tragedy that was the Wonder Twins


Not Scooby Doo enough for ya? Try on a spaceman Fred and Daphne, and Gleeky Doo .. as the Wonder Twins in later years


Despite the silly turn in later incarnations, the whole idea of the almost Justice League of America taking on 13 of their individual nemeses banded together as the Legion of Doom was great then -- amazingly it holds up well


The stories are still great today ... sure the animation looks like Scooby Doo, it is a H-B production after all ... but watching the SF fix the situations threatening the Earth every week was fun -- It was like comics coming to life


Note that by the time I was seven or eight when this was first run on TV, we were getting reruns of the old Spiderman series -- SF had some maturity to it in terms of plots, and the vocab is eighth grade plus


It's just cool to see it after all these years on DVD ... and at the end of it not be as disillusioned by datedness or really dumb plots
