417. Scott McOldsmith going full scholar with The Superfriends cartoons in "Superfriends/Justce League DVDs: Which to Get?":
You've got a lot of choices, which is great, but since WB didn't put any effort into a chronological system, it's also annoying. Yuo have to hunt and peck, but here's a list of what they've put out and how they would be in airdate order.
Both Filmation and Hanna Barbera produced Justice League cartoons. The Filmation shows were more faithful to the comics of the time, while Superfriends (or Super Friends - depending on the year) was a watered down, violence free take on the characters. Since you're asking about the HB shows, it goes something like this (thanks in part to some online resources and a really knowledgeable Amazon.com reviewer):
"Super Friends!": Season One, Vol. One & Vol. Two - Sixteen 46 Minute Episodes (1973)
With Wendy, Marvin & Wonder Dog. Mostly new villains who pose ecological threats. Great theme music, awful stories. Very dull, but, for this season only, Ted Knight narrates. Along with Olan Soule (Batman), Knight was a holdover from the Filmation shows. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002S3Y1LQ/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk
"The All-New Super Friends Hour": Season One, Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 - Fifteen 21 Minute Episodes & Forty-Five 7 Minute Shorts (1977)
The Wonder Twins (with their Space Monkey - Gleek) debut, replacing Wendy and her retarded brother. A step up from the previous season, but still focusing on TV created villains. Black Vulcan and Apache Chief debut. Enek Chok!
http://www.amazon.com/All-New-Super-Friends-Hour-Season/dp/B000W2C28Y/ref=pd_bxgy_d_text_b
"Challenge of the Super Friends" - Sixteen 21 Minute Episodes (1978) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00023E88U/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk
"Super Friends": Volume Two - Sixteen 21 Minute Episodes [Aired along side 'Challenge] (1978)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007XFZMS/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk
This is when Super Friends exploded in popularity. Challenge of the Super Friends is the most popular of the formats because it incorporates DC villains who form The Legion of Doom. Their "Darth Vader Head-quarters" is incredible. The stories are pure nonsense, but such incredible fun, with over acting, loud music, crazy super-science and real corny dialog. And still no punches allowed! The other half of the hour was taken by stories similar to the previous season. Not as much fun as Challenge, but still good stuff. (note: two individual volumes of one disc apiece of the Challenge episodes were released as a test run. Get the complete season set - you're not missing content if you skip the individuals).
"The World's Greatest Super Friends" - Eight 22 minute episodes - not released yet (1979)
"Super Friends" - Twenty-Four 7 minute shorts - not released yet (1980)
"Super Friends" - Eighteen 7 minute shorts - not released yet (1981)
"Super Friends": The Lost Episodes - Twenty-Four 7 Minute Shorts (1983)
The convoluted run of Super Friends continued through this unusual detour: when the animated series was canceled in 1983, Hanna-Barbera continued to produce new episodes, which in most cases took years to show up after the series kept returning to TV in various forms. These Lost Episodes are gathered on this two-disc set, which, although it claims to be 24 "episodes," is more like eight half-hour programs (each consisting of three short adventures).
http://www.amazon.com/Super-Friends-The-Lost-Episodes/dp/B0027WNRV8/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1299159791&sr=1-1
"Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show" - Sixteen 11 Minute Episodes (1984)
This was a series prompted on the line of Super Powers toys being released at the time. A couple of new (for TV) characters were integrated (like Cyborg and Firestorm). Adam West now voices Batman in place of Olan Soule, who played the character as far back as the Filmation series in the 60's.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PC8AKK/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk
"The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians" - Six 21 Minute Episodes & Four 11 Minute Episodes (1985)
In 1985 this final version of Hanna-Barbera's Super Friends premiered. The Super Friends were once again headquartered at the Hall of Justice in Metropolis, and battled such familiar foes as Lex Luthor, Scarecrow and Darkseid. Second only to Challenge of the Super Friends, Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians was one of the most faithful TV adaptations of DC Comic superheroes.

418. Graham Watt--in this very thread!
"I remember when Dr Bill McCrum was around, before we pissed him off with our ignorance, that he used to lecture us in a very entertaining way. I liked his classes anyway, and he helped me defend my position (in a neutral way) on a controversial Miklós Rózsa thread a few years ago. "But y'know lads, the truth of the matter is that it's all alchemy." That was one of my favourite posts over the years. In another one he told us that it's actually okay to say "I could care less", and why it's okay, and the history of its usage. I think it was originally used by a Jewish tailor in the Bronx in 1899, and was meant in a sarcastic way. So when he (the tailor) said "I could care less" he really meant "I couldn't care less". Y'know lads, you really ought to go into the origins of Greek mythology more. We have the Lydian mode, then we have the plight of the Argonauts. Sheeps' wool? It was gold of course. Wool to gold. It's all alchemy y'see."

419. BornOfAJackal's trifecta in "Ad Astra: You Didn't Get it", wisdom-without-condescension straight from the Brow of Zeus (Zaius?), direct from the mountain, and right down into our lowly, unwashed laps:
"I felt compelled to start a new thread on the subject separate from the score discussion.
"It is apparent that many of you did not get the theme of the movie.
"The movie has a kind of B-movie feel, and ignores some vital mechanics of space travel; but this is not the point of the movie. The space travel and immense gulfs between people, and all the dystopian paranoia are all a means to examine contemporary humanity.
"If that elementary part of the movie’s theme eluded you, well, yes, the experience of watching the film will be quite turgid for you.
"Let me put it into terms I know we will all get. Imagine it’s Wesley Crusher going to look for his long lost father, or a Picard or Riker who’s gone native, just in a contemplative way that Star Trek: The Next Generation doesn’t have time for.
"...and if this thread degenerates into a Star Trek thread, there will be hell to pay."
---------
"I enjoyed it too. It’s Hollywood daring to do something adult.
"The people who’ve been steamrolled by media conglomerate hype (I’m looking at you, Disney and Netflix) into re-defining middlebrow entertainment as highbrow—and that’s a lot of people with good taste who should know better—will think this movie’s thematic ambitions overshot them.
"If that’s the case for you, I suggest you watch it again without the escapist mindset. This is not a film catering to that mentality."
----------
"You two are proving my point. The movie is making the point that reaching for the stars, in the end, may be a simpler endeavor than reaching out to the person next to you.
"If that’s too haughty, highbrow or pretentious for you, your Netflix or YouTube queue will be happy to provide you with false succor, I’m sure."

I've never seen a lick of anything from any Kong film that I enjoyed or wanted to see again.

Now, I do love "The Simpsons" parody, "King Homer", from one of their Halloween episodes.

423. Doctor Shatterhand, in "Music to Have a Pandemic By", Twerking his way out of an awkward moment like in the opening credits of a 1960s James Bond film:
Doctor Shatterhand: "I am surprised no one has mentioned the score to The Omega Man."
Jim Phelps: "If you meant to say, "I'm surprised no one but Kev McGann mentioned the score to Omega Man", then yes it is surprising.
Doctor Shatterhand: "No, I didn't mean to say "I'm surprised no one but Kev McGann mentioned the score to Omega Man, then yes it is surprising."
"Why would I do that? I don't even know Kev McGann.
"He's probably a nice guy and a great source of information on movie scores, but sorry, I would never have wrote that quote the way you did.
"What I should have written was, "The Omega Man".
"Then I wouldn't have egg on my face and trying desperately to wiggle myself out of this embarrassing situation by trying to make it into a self-deprecating comedic moment."
"Nuff said.
"Said what?
