Trivia
*Produced by Hanna-Barbera, this is a live action version of The Super Friends cartoon, specifically "Challenge of the Super Friends".
*The producers were unable to use the characters of Superman and Wonder Woman (featured in the original Superfriends) since Superman had just been launched into a film franchise, and Wonder Woman had her own series on another network.

I was 8 or 9 when this came out, I think. I remember flipping around the channels (all 5 of them) and finding one of these 2 shows (Legends and Superhero Roast --I think it was Legends I saw). The JLA done as a sort of Laugh-in/It's a Mad, Mad, World. Thin plot overlayered with tons of gags and non-sequitor scenarios. Solomon Grundy in disguise as a gas-station attendant. The Flash pausing in mid-dash over 2 lovers in a field. Etc, etc. Can't remember the story, but a friend of mine has won a copy off ebay and I hope to see it soon.
Adam West, Frank Gorshin and Burt Ward reprising their famous roles.
Totally mind-boggling and confusing to a serious young (mostly Marvel) comics fan whose main familiarity with DC at the time was Lynda Carter's WW, the 60s Batman show and the various incarnations of the Superfriends and Shazam on Saturday mornings.
The more people talk about this, the more I want to see it again. It's been 30 years almost!
