Is there any truth to the rumor that the writers/animators for the Superfriends cartoon used Cincinnati's Union Terminal for the design of the Hall of Justice? Union Terminal/Hall of Justice
That thing sucked more than anything. That's not an opinion, mind you. That's a fact. --66.218.28.74 05:34, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Dream Focus 05:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC) "At one point, Cartoon Network produced three commercials lampooning the Super Friends..."
It actually created a few other as well.
One involved the Wonder Twin Zan seeing Marvin in a video rental store, and trying to avoid them, moving down into the adult section, and him seeing him and going down there, making a few jokes, and pointing out he didn't blame him for getting them thrown off the team.
There was also an absolutely halarious one where the Wonder Twins are called to rescue a kid in a cave from a bear. They fail miserably, then at the funeral, the old woman who was the dead kid's mother smacks them both in the face, and then the monkey too, chewing them out for their stupidity.
Additional trivia, they had a parody of them on South Park, making fun of Aquaman, or Sea-man as they called him.
In fact, they've been parodied on a vast number of shows. Robot Chicken on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim line up makes fun of them all the time.
Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law had an episode with Apache Chief in it, spilling coffee on his manhood, and filing a lawsuit. It showed Black Vulcan complaining about the "black" part of his name, wishing to be called something else instead but stuck with that do to racist stupidity. In addition Wonder Woman was shown with Zen as her bathwater. Funny episode.
Thought I mentioned it if anyone wanted to update the trivia section.

[edit] Other title cards
Can anyone add other title cards like Challenge of the Super Friends to Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians? King Shadeed 16:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why did it die?
I never saw the '80s episodes, but I was wondering if its cancelation had anything to do with "Crisis on Infinite Earths." That saga wrapped up in 1986. That was also the year the "Super Powers" toyline ceased, which was clearly based on a composite of the comics and the cartoons.
Just curious. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Epiphone83 (talk • contribs) 00:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Various comments on how rediculous it was
They do have a lot of rediculous plotlines.
In one episode, Grog had taken control over the minds of the gorillas of gorilla city, and they used a weapon to eliminate the powers of the super friends. This included Batman and Robin, who have no super powers, they saying oh no, their utility belts no longer worked. Without their powers they seemed helpless, but fortunately Apache Chief stated "we still have my Indian tracking skills" and they got away. I think if someone found a clip of this and linked to it, it'd demonstrate just how rediculous the show is. Lot of racial stereotypes, as well as idiotic plotlines that made no sense whatsoever.
In one episode Apache Chief grew larger than the earth, to fight a monster who put Earth in a pouch, to use as a marble, in his marble collection. Dream Focus 05:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] narrator line
I believe it was actually, "Meanwhile, BACK at the Hall of Justice..." (a minor difference, but burned into the brains of those of us who watched it as kids...) Hierophany 19:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
yep,it was. 99.230.152.143 00:52, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Twang, shmang
"El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera
The twang from Santana of the Dead's guitar is the exact same sound used in many episodes of Super Friends, which was often used in poor context for things banging into walls, etc."
...
Uh, yeah, that "twang" sound effect was and is used in many cartoons, before and after the SFs. It was El Kabong's guitar noise, Shaggy and Scooby ran into masked swindlers with it, etc. Yeesh!

[edit] Violence
The article sort of implies that there's less violence than in most superhero shows, but I have read that there was actually no fist fighting in the entire series. If anybody can cite a source or verify this then it oughta be in the article. Tempshill (talk) 04:08, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
