- ^ The Super Friends Shorts
- ^ After two solid seasons of producing full half-hour long episodes of the Superfriends in various incarnations, Hanna-Barbera returned to producing shorts in 1980. The Superfriends Hour featured reruns from the previous six seasons, along with three new 7-minute long shorts. ABC would continue this format for the next three years. These new adventures featured regular appearances by the core group of five Superfriends, Zan, Jayna & Gleek. We were also treated to cameos by Justice League members who appeared on Challenge of the Superfriends. We also saw special appearances by brand new characters, such as Atom, El Dorado, Hawkgirl & Rima.
- ^ "SuperFriends Hour" (1980)
- ^ The first season ran for a full hour, combining 3 new stories with 30 minute reruns. The second season from 1981-1982 was a shorter season and it marked the debut of a new Super Hero, El Dorado.
