i wish they just put the entire series on one set. i guess dc/warner are trying to delay getting everything on dvd as long as they can, there are only a handful of things left to get released. before we know it, the only thing left will be the adam west batman tv show and the filmation superboy cartoons.

the box art is great, but it has nothing to do with the series. it makes the show appear more "serious" than it really is.

They wouldn't sell as many if it was a 4 disc box. All Superfriends releases have been 2 discs---some with less running time then this, I don't have a problem with waiting a year or so for Volume 2.

i might pick up a copy but is it worth it?

I wish WB would put commentaries on these sets. Legendary Super Powers Show has them and theyre very interesting to listen to.
