I remembered a show when I was a kit with Solomon Grundy in it . (not a cartoon) I finally determined it was this dvd. It is truly horrible with poor acting and writing. But for $6 it brought be back to a memory of when I was 6 or 7 years old. I'm glad I bought it.

Yes, incredibly low budget. Someone took West, Ward and Gorshin from the campy 60s show and just made it all out comedy, with very good additions of Charlie Callas as Sinestro (with no purple makeup, Callas' face best delivered the Sinestro look), Jeff Altman as the WEather Wizard and Howard Morris as Sinestro. Whoever did this clearly knew the comic books as they even put in the Legion villian of Mordru as the leader, instead of the later hyped up Darkseid. But the look of many of the performers was accurate. They could have just run around and fought one another, like wresters (I long ago determined if some sports programs like football wore costumes like superheroes, I would be spellbound). It's so low-budget, you can see people across the street watching when Solomon Grundy and Black Canary interact. I remembered the second program, the roast with Ed McMahon from back when it originally aired and I thought that was dull. The first one I missed the previous week. Might have been fun back then, but still enjoyable to see these earliest hero depictions. I all but suspect one of the two Saturday morning Captain Marvels were sought for this as well. One amazing detraction (depending on how you want to look at it, then this may not be for kids) is clearly Green Lantern should have wore a protective cup or something. His genitalia is as visible as a ballet star.Read full review
I had not viewed this since the original airing back in the day. Just a great time capsule.

Still, a fun watch after all these years...The child in me will never die as long as the Dc comics superheroes remain alive. Or, as Captain Marvel may say S-H-A-Z-A-M!

On the campy side, but still an important superhero item/ Last time that Adam West, and Burt Ward did BatMan, and Robin in a non-dvd item, and marked first live-action appearances for the Black Canary, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Sinestro, and Solomon Grundy, among other DC characters.
