SUPER FRIENDS 1973

I'm really enjoying this week's DVD release of SUPER FRIENDS. The DVD is Season 1-Volume 1 of the 1973 Hanna-Barbera production that featured SUPERMAN, BATMAN, ROBIN, AQUAMAN, WONDER WOMAN, MARVIN, WENDY and WONDER DOG. I loved this show when it premiered in September of 1973. I think this DVD collection of the first animated adventures of the SUPER FRIENDS legacy deserved much better packaging and special features from Warner Home Video. The DVD's packaging and discs feature character art that appears to be from a 1980s DC Comics style guide with some lame-looking SUPER FRIENDS logo. The show featured terrific character designs by the legendary ALEX TOTH and had a nicely designed logo...all of which are completely absent from the packaging. There really are no special features included on this 2-disc DVD set...only a SUPER FRIENDS TRIVIA CHALLENGE. I am enjoying watching the episodes. It brings back a lot of good memories! Above and below are my SUPER FRIENDS sketch cards, which are available to own. E-mail me at powsley@flash.net for details!

David, Katrina and the kids were visiting from Seattle. It was great seeing them!

CLASSIC CHICAGO KIDS TV - WGN's BOZO's CIRCUS

Blog readers who grew up in the Chicago area during the 1960s and 1970s will recognize these two characters. It's BOZO (Bob Bell) and OLIVER O. OLIVER (Ray Rayner) from WGN-TV's, BOZO's CIRCUS. This 1971 photo was taken either during the Grand Prize Game or the end-of-the-show's audience participation game. The prize shown is Remco's BOATNIKS. Thanks to fellow classic Chicago kids TV fan and cartoonist, MARK CHRISTIANSEN, for sending this over.
