Production notes
Challenge of the Superfriends was a half-hour show, paired with a half-hour Superfriends. Challenge of the Superfriends came the closest to the comic books by pitting The Justice League of America against the Secret Society of Super Villains, the Legion of Doom. Superfriends, on the other hand, combined only five of the super heroes and their Exxorian trainees, Zan and Jayna and their monkey Gleek. Though two different and distinct shows, we pair them here together, as they originally aired. But only the shows numbered in the "128" series are truly Challenge of the Superfriends.
