Ridiculous

This episode is a terrible way to start off a series about some of the greatest superheroes ever. It starts with an elderly man skiing and getting hurt. An obvious alien shows up and he says "I'm awfully glad to see you." Anyone else would have screamed and tried to crawl away. Then Superman goes to Donner Pass where two trains have lost power and one is rolling down a hill towards the other one. He pushes it back up the hill and gets it going and then just leaves the second train stranded. Then Aquaman saves a ship from crashing into some rocks and Wendy says "I wonder how he did it?" To which he replies "With a little help from my friends. From the name of the same song." What??? When Batman takes the kids and their dog in the Batmobile he makes Robin sit in the middle but when they take Aquaman they make him sit in the middle. And that's just the first 17 minutes of an hour long show. At one point they show Batman turning off the TV and you can see three switches. Their positions are "on" and "of". So sad. I fear this series is going to be really bad.

This episode is very heart touching among other possibilities.

The Show at The Hall of Justice opens with Superman and Marvin arm wrestling and one SuperFriend after the other asking id they should help Superman then they agree and then Marvin runs and makes a Super leap and is levitating in midair.

Yes What's Heart touching among other possibilities in this episode is when to reflect the quote of which we well know from the 1960's Batman TV Show as follows when Batman says"Robin,Superman,Aquaman to the Batmobile."Then Superman flies the 3 Passengers to The sight of what might be The Grand Coulee Dam.There they meet up with WonderWoman, Wendy,Marvin,and WonderDog. We also see how WonderWoman falls down a waterfall then Batman Says"I'll get her."then upon doing so she thanks him.

It was in World's Finest #90 that Superman Flew Batman,Robin,and Batwoman in the Batmobile and when I saw this it reminded me of that scene in the Super Friends as mentioned above.

Back to The episode it opens up with an Alien from outer space who transforms himself into the likeness of the skier of whom he sees after taking a fall and he comments on how he looks like him and he then goes to the Hospital Later on Superman Flies some Super Fiends including in one hand Batman with Wendy in his lap maybe one on his back and and others in the other hand saying he's taking them via Superman Airlines.

These are examples of how like in the top paragraph as in the 2nd and 3rd paragraph how this is a comedy adventure series When in the 1976- 1977 TV Season at this time that they reran it they even show how these one hour episodes can easily be edited to half hour episodes.Then later that year in The Fall they came out with "The All new Super Friends Hour."
