I enjoyed this series of the Superfriends the most when it first came out.Even though as i look back on the show,there were a lot of flaws & mistakes made with the show.If anyone who has taped the shows will see that in some of the storylines,there are some superfriends who are not supposed to be in certain scenes.But nonetheless,this is the best Superfriends series of all,especially without the comedy relief of the Wonder Twins & that Gleek!
