Super Friends

Sooo long since I last posted.
Anyway, I just wanted to mention the wonderfull new trend Idris and I have developed recently. I have not been particularly fond of most of his tv shows (at least of watching them with him), so I have begun renting dvd's of tv shows I watched as a kid. "The all-new super friends hour" has been the first foray into my nostalgia and Idris has loved it. The producers have put out episode samples from 1977-1985; from before my time until I was precisely Idris' current age. I especially look forward to watching the '85 shows which I undoubtedly viewed when they were brand new and beamed into my parents' basement on Saturday mornings for my brother and occasionally my elder sisters' enjoyment.
Super Friends, though a shadow of the accomplishments of recent cartoon adaptions, feature some surprising moments of solid writing. The theme music, long forgotten, was superb.
Now, I look forward as much as Idris to rediscovering the later episodes featuring Darkseid, the Bizarro world, and the anti-justice league villains.
Needless to say, I am thrilled with the phenomenon of releasing tv on dvd and that netflix carries just about everything.
