Aired: December 22, 1973
The Super Friends deal with an alien race that is causing ecological damage to the area around the Great Barrier Reef with their quest to refuel their vessel
John and Dan Greenfield of 13th Dimension are joined by Chris Franklin, host of the JLUCast as they discuss the final episode of the first season of The Super Friends. In it, they talk about the Wonder Net, the lack of story devoted to Wendy and Marvin, and the lack of scale in the animation in this particular episode.
John references The Ultimate Super Friends Companion by Will Rodgers. Check it out for yourself by purchasing a copy via Amazon.
Dan Greenfield is the editor and co-creator of 13thDimension.com, a website devoted primarily to comics and pop culture, past and present. To him, the basic food groups are Batman, Planet of the Apes, Star Trek (the Original Series), James Bond, the Beatles and the Stones. But if he had to he'd be able to subsist on Batman alone. Channel 11 in New York was his favorite syndicated channel as a kid -- you can guess why -- followed closely by Channel 5. Channel 9 didn't really enter into it unless he was home sick and there wasn't much else on. He's married to his remarkably patient wife Wendy and his best sidekick is his son, Sam. They have two cats,Lex and Zod.
