Super Friends returned in 1978 with another change to format. This time there were two half hour stories per episode.
The first half hour segment used the All-New Super Friends Hour opening and featured the Super Friends with Zan and Jayna in stories in the typical Super Friends style. These episode are sometimes called the Lost Episodes as they were cut when the network cut the show down to 30 minutes.
The second half hour segment was called Challenge of the Super Friends and featured a classic lineup of Super Friends (sans the Wonder Twins) in constant battle against the Legion of Doom. This incarnation of Super Friends is the most popular as it features actual comic book villains and stories that have a greater comic book feel to them. These episodes are listed below in ITALICS.
