The Super Friends worked out of the Hall of Justice. In each 60 minute episode the team was called upon to assist in nabbing a criminal or averting an oncoming environmental disaster. The messages came from the Trouble Alert, a massive computer doubling as a communications device and video monitor. Many of the requests came from their government liaison Colonel Wilcox.
Due to government regulations against violence in cartoons, the Super Friends held their fists and relied more on their wits and the ability to coerce the evil-doers to halt their plans. In some instances, the superheroes solved the problem by taking suggestions from Wendy or Marvin. And when their powers couldn't solve a dilemma, the team relied on other heroes like Flash, Green Arrow, and Plastic Man to assist. All episodes ended with a moral for the viewing audience.
Produced by Lewis Marshall and Iwao Takamoto, Super Friends premiered on the American network ABC in September of 1973 and ran for 16 episodes. Though canceled in 1974, various incarnations of the series continued to air on ABC throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
