OMG, I never realized how bad Challange of the Superfriends was...

Yeah, but it beats The A-Team…

…doesn’t bother me. Same thing as Space Ghost using the Phantom Cruiser when he can fly through space on his own.
“Wait, I remember now! I flew in to work this morning! Silly me!”

I remember I used to love this show…three yars ago when I still got the Cartoon Network!! C’mon guys - what’s not to like?

[li] Ted Knight as the announcer[/li][li] Awesome soundtrack: ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-BA-BA-DA-BA!! ::cue disco guitar riff::[/li][li] HILARIOUS plots. Remember the one where Apache Chief and Giganta eaxch got so large they were larger than Earth, and were sort of hovering around it? How about the one where that safari couple had the giant drilling car, and living trees and boulders stole A/C units for them b/c it was too hot in the center of the Earth where the living trees and boulders lived? Great stuff.[/li][/ul]

And who can tell me they never made a pig out of a milk carton and some pipe cleaners? :slight_smile:

I’m still wondering about those little life-lessons they tacked on, especially the one featuring the twin girls who were taking a swim lesson from Aqauman (he must have been paying off his community-service sentence). They were planning to hitch-hike home but A-man talked them out of it, saying nothing more than it was “dangerous”. Details, please! Will there be white slavery involved? Debauchery? Whips? You owe your viewers a complete description!

Then there was Wonder Woman demonstrating a magic trick of balancing a water pitcher on the edge of a playing card, and Batman and Robin doing their Ambiguously Gay Duo segment about the Heimlich Maneuver.

I hope I still have that issue, because now I want to dig it out.

“Form of a gerbil!”
“Shape of an egg ice beater!”

Superman’s symbol was even colored inversely like they did all the time. Good times.

I’d forgotten all about that one until just now. The one that stuck with me was the bunch of kids studying in the library until they’re assaulted by Wonder Woman, who reminds them all not to eat styrofoam. Even at the time I remember thinking, “Sheesh, Wonder Woman. Why you gotta be all up in my face? Shouldn’t you be out catching Fearions or something?” (I was remarkably prescient with my slang as a child.)

Great, now I’m stuck in one of those annoying Gen-X’er nostalgia trips. “When you’re feeling bored or blue, watch out for The Munchies. They have way of making you munch when you’re not hungry. Here, munch this! Here, munch that! Soon, you’re not just bored, you’re fat! Teee heee heee heee!”

Well, it is time for Timer, after all.

Of course, the whole relationship between the Wonder Twins is kind of disturbing when one thinks about it. (And don’t even get me started on the monkey.)

A wagon wheel!!!

I thought the character was based on Ted Kennedy. Wasn’t he?

Ahhh, Timer… burned into my brain, he is:

*Oh, some weekend when it’s raining,
And your mother is complaining,
That you’re hanging around just twiddling your thumbs,
Tell your Mom that you’ve been itching,
To make something in the kitchen,
And the mess, oh yes, would be a minimum.

But the thing’s that going to please her,
Is you make it in the freezer,
And nothing could be easier to fix.
Now just watch as I go through it,
Merely all you need to do it,
Is some kind of juice and just a few toothpicks!*

Followed by a lesson on the making of pseudo-Popsicles.

And that was all typed from memory, no study aids involved.

Wonder Woman can’t survive in space without oxygen! And considering that her flight power derived from gliding, it’s doubtful she can fly outside an atmosphere at all.

Sheesh, some people. :wink:

You thought Roscoe was based on Ted Kennedy?

We need sarcasm smilies.

If you take Kilt-wearin’ man’s quote

and replace Hazzard County with Massachusetts and Sherriff with Senator, it sounds a lot like old Teddy :slight_smile: Just 'cause I was born there doesn’t mean I can’t make fun of the state.

WW’s power of flight originally was based on gliding, but has since been retconned into true flight. So there’s on reason she couldn’t fly in space. You’re right about her need for oxygen, though. Superman also needs to breathe (although he can last for hours/days on one breath).

Oh. I thought it was because of their driving skills. Roscoe always did end up stuck in that pond, after all…

Oh yeah, and I meant to say earlier… whatever could’ve happened to the girls on their hitch-hiking escapade couldn’t possibly be any worse than what Aquaman had planned.

Let’s see the new beard-and-hook A-man do that!
