While children and collectors will love this 4 episode set, I have to say that it's a little rough for adults to endure in the day and age of Justice League of America and Justice League Unlimited. The plots and concepts of Superfriends are much better suited for younger fans however, and certainly had no toruble holding their interest.

So the boy is getting into the whole idea of super heroes (he's nearly 4) and trying to understand what constitutes the difference between "good guys" and "bad guys". For a three-year old, the current permutation of Justice League cartoons (the Cartoon Network series) is too much - simply too violent and doesn't have easily digestible moral vehicles.

But these campy '70s iterations of SuperFriends/Justice League (aside from the politically incorrect Apache Chief inserts) are easy to follow (Legion of Doom = bad guys) and easy to understand the differences between right and wrong. And just like a fortune cookie, there's always some generically applicable moral at the end.

This is a great classic from back in the day!!! Wow it takes me back to my childhood!!!

It's great because the episodes featured
do show all of the arch-nemisis and heroes
but it's a really tiny collection which runs
entirely too quickly to enjoy the DVD.

Being an avid comic book reader as a kid,I could not help but love super hero related cartoons.The story lines were simple and it was something every child growing up could relate.Too bad so many of today's Saturday morning t.v is not as fun.

The episode is good... but I really want Warner to release the whole series in a "TV on DVD" format... just like what's happening with Spider-Man -- one series at a time. There's something about classic animation -- 1966-1974 or so... no cartoons/animations evoke the same kind of feelings...

This Super Friends DVD collection, "United They Stand" was way better than "Attack of the Legion of Doom" for two episodes--"Giants of Doom" and "Secret Origins." It's great to see the REAL JLA foil Luthor and his gang time and time again.

while not bad,you would really do better sticking with the complete first season ,which is out there to buy!!
