The All-New Super Friends Hour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The All-New Super Friends Hour is an American animated television series about a team of superheroes which ran from September 10, 1977 to September 2, 1978 on ABC. It was produced by Hanna-Barbera and is based on the Justice League and associated comic book characters published by DC Comics.

Even though Hanna-Barbera's first superheroes cartoon series didn't do very well, the popularity of TV's Wonder Woman and The Six Million Dollar Man spurred network interest in reviving the Super Friends program. When it was again unveiled in 1977, more young children and teenagers than before tuned in, making The All-New Superfriends Hour a huge ratings success. The success prompted the ABC television network to plan a new and even more innovative series for the fall of 1978.
