Hi Everyone! Are there any DVDs available yet of the old 1973 Superfriends cartoon show that featured “Wendy, Marvin and Wonderdog”? ---

Yes. _Superfriends_ is on DVD. Buy a good used copy–just as good, & lots cheaper. ---

I always wondered what Wonder Woman thought about the fact that the kids apparently named their dog after her. It was a male dog, too, if I recall correctly. What the hell was that about? Do you really want to get the Amazon warrior steamed at you, when she might be the only thing standing between you and Gorilla Grodd in the future? ---

Looks like three separate sets of Super Friends DVDs available on Amazon, some at lower prices because they’re used. Check out the descriptions to see which ones you want: [http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb\_ss\_gw/002-3195908-7810440?initialSearch=1&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=super+friends](http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/002-3195908-7810440?initialSearch=1&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=super+friends) ---

From the customer reviews: > [@](#): > > Unfortunately, my kids were disappointed upon receiving this dvd. They were expecting the series that contain the characters of Wendy and Marvin and Wonderdog. Instead, it has Jayna and Zan. > [@](#): > > loved this series as a kid, but these DVD releases are a complete disaster. Firstly this is not Super Friends (1973 to 1974) as the DVD title might have some of you think, it is actually The All New Superfriends Hour (1977 to 1978) which was Season 2 of the whole Superfriends series. Secondly it’s incomplete & doesn’t contain all the episodes for this season & what’s more they aren’t even in order. … Lastly i am completely baffled by the logic behind WB choosing not to release each season in order from season 1 to 6 or correctly labeling each box set. This makes things all the more confusing since they released Challenge Of The Superfriends on DVD first (which is actually season 3) & labeled the DVD as Superfriends: The First Season??? If memory serves, the very first season is the only one with Wendy, Marvin, and Wonderdog. (And, to my little-kid-on-Saturday-morning mind, there was something magical about that first series, though not _because_ of Wendy, Marvin, and Wonderdog—maybe it had something to do with being the right age at the time). After that, in subsequent seasons, they did away with Wendy, Marvin, and Wonderdog, and introduced Zan, Jayna, and Space Monkey Gleek, and then additional superheroes. So if it really is the Wendy, Marvin, and Wonderdog shows the OP is looking for, you may be out of luck.
