The Superfriends Hour featured reruns from the previous six seasons, along with three new 7-minute long shorts. ABC would continue this format for the next three years. These new adventures featured regular appearances by the core group of five Superfriends, Zan, Jayna & Gleek. We were also treated to cameos by Justice League members who appeared on Challenge of the Superfriends. We also saw special appearances by brand new characters, such as Atom, El Dorado, Hawkgirl & Rima.] ] [ [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1143137/ "SuperFriends Hour" (1980)] ] [ [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1143137/trivia The first season ran for a full hour, combining 3 new stories with 30 minute reruns.
