Tooned In: Superfriends – The Legendary Super Powers Show (1984)

(You know you got guys who want to be more comic accurate when the title shows nobody flying who’s not supposed to fly…)
Anyone who follows me close enough knows I am obsessed with MeTV Toons. So this is a test column focused on that. Anyway, with its variety of classic, 90s-and-back (with a sprinkle of 2000 and up), it’s really hard not to like. For those of you who missed the “original” Cartoon Network, or if it was…before your time…there I am admitting I’m OLD…MeTVT is pretty much what it used to be. Most of its content too comes from Warner Discovery owned properties, so you get the likes of Scooby-Doo, the Flintstones, various Yogi Bear series, Tom and Jerry…their usual heavy hitters. There’s also other studios’ characters such as Mister Magoo, Popeye, the Harveytoons stable (Casper, Herman and Katnip, and….sigh…Baby Huey…), the Walter Lantz group headed by Woody Woodpecker, Rocky and Bullwinkle, even some old-time anime like Speed Racer and Supermarionation shows in the wee hours.
And this past October, they introduced the Superfriends to the lineup at last.
