The All-New Superfriends Hour: Season One, Vol. 1
It was really good! The format is like the original saturday morning show. You get one shorter story with one or two superfiends then a wondertwins episode, a full superfriends episode like the "Plant Creatures" or " When Worlds Collide" and then a two superfiend episode often with a special guest star like "The Atom". It is a great walk down memory lane!

Warner Home Video has announced that The All-New Super Friends Hour - Season 1, Volume 2 will come to DVD early in 2009. It follows up on this past January's release of Season 1, Volume 1 which introduced Wonder-Twins Zan and Jayna (and space-monkey Gleek).

And it's worth noting that the episodes on this upcoming release were produced prior to the Wonder-Twins-included adventures found on Warner's 2005 release of Super Friends - Volume 2 (it was never precisely clear why the studio titled the release that way...but don't worry about it; just enjoy the cartoons!).

It's worth noting that the back of the box for Warner's recent release of DC Super Heroes: The Filmation Adventures mentions to "Look for All-New Super Friends Hour - The Complete Series"; however our inquiries to the studio about their plans for that brought no response. It's possible that this was a misprint, and that they meant to promote this release instead. The "complete series" title might be coming down the road, but the studio has made only this announcement so far.

The new release with 32 more cartoons will arrive on January 27th. It's a 2-disc set presented in full screen video and with English audio. Pricing wasn't provided, but is expected to clock in at $26.99 SRP. Bonus material was not mentioned on this morning's original announcement, but we *are* expecting at least a few extras to be included. Here's a list of the included episodes, followed by the package art:

* The Invisible Menace/ Initiation/Coming of the Anthropods/River of Doom
* Attack of the Giant Squid/Game of Chicken/The Water Beast/Volcano
* The Collector/Handicap/The Mind Maidens/Alaska Peril
* The Fifty Foot Woman/Cheating/Exploration Earth/Attack of the Killer Bees
* Forbidden Power/Pressure Point/The Lionment/Day of the Rats
* Man Beasts of Xra/Prejudice/Tiny World of Terror/Tibetan Raiders
* Frozen Peril/Dangerous Prank/The Mummy of Nazca/Cable Car Rescue
* The Protector/Stowaways/The Ghost/Rampage

I love this set. It brings back alot of great memories watching this, but Im still waiting on the 1973 season with Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog. Ok, I know it wasnt the best, but thats the one I remember the most watching....Classic....

Well these cartoons are more educational then superheroing, I can understand why they did it. They wanted cartoons to educate as well as entertain. I guess it could have been done better. Then again that;s what School House Rock was all about, but then again School House Rock had a better team of animators and recording artists to work on them. These cartoons look like they were done by people who could only draw what the low budget permitted.

I ordered this dvd on July 13th and recived it July 19th.I'm Just trying
to convert it to my ipod. But,I love this dvd. it has some of my favorite
episodes on it. I hope that The all-new superfriends hour season one vol.2
comes around christmas. I love this series.
