As a kid growing up in the 70′s these shows were in reruns by then, but I still loved all of them. Just like to know when are they going to release the Batman ones from the same era….

Blew me away when I found this set. I’d been looking for it for some time. I was giddy when I put it on. This was a huge part of my childhood. Shame about Superboy though, I hope they sort it out soon.

[...] assembled with the same care that Warners extends to its Warner Bros., Popeye, Hanna-Barbara, and DC Comics animation packages. The picture and sound quality is fantastic! I look forward to many more Peanuts [...]

I had forgotten about the Superboy cartoons and the reason for their omission from these DVD releases.

Thanks Anthony for refreshing my memory.

I also loved those cartoons. Krypto was a favorite and has been ever since.

Well, there’s still one more “missing link” to the Filmation DC cartoons—the Superboy cartoons that were removed from being released with the Superman set, thanks to the ongoing dispute/lawsuits over the rights to the Boy of Steel. Hmph… I liked watching the Superboy segments as a kid…

My wife and I were watching this DVD the other night. She’s not into comics and couldn’t belive I was enjoying watching these cartoons – they were too cheesy!

I explained the “cheesy” factor was part of what made these cartoons so much fun for me. I also enjoyed seeing some of these characters in their own cartoons – most for the only time.

It was fun seeing the differences from the comics.

There’s a Venusian friend for Green Lantern instead of Pieface. I’m sure Pieface was acknowledged as a slight toward oriental people – not a good idea, especially during the Vietnam war. Surely, a Venusian wasn’t likely to offend anyone – and this partner saved Green Lantern nearly as often as Green Lantern saved him.

Also, Kid Flash’s uniform was totally off – hard on the eyes now, but it was all I knew then.

When these cartoons originally aired, I was 5 years old. I remember getting up early on Saturday mornings to watch them as they were the first cartoons in our Saturday morning line-up.

I didn’t read the comics until I was much older, so these were my first exposure to these characters. Despite their (and my) age. I still think they’re extremely fun shows.
