I'm going to have to look for this. I have 3 of these series on DvD (legally purchased, and love them all- except the 60-70's Batman which has yet to be released, which it's why it's only 3) Dunno if I can find this online, but I would really like to catch it!

Something I'll have to try and catch - I grew up watching each of those series, from the old Superman series on PBS Sunday mornings, Batman after school, then Wonder Woman (can't believe they left out SHAZAM! and Isis).  Greatest American Hero as a teen (and own on DVD), and on, and on.  Can't imagine how I ever got so involved in a game like CoH...

They better not forget Electra Woman and Dyna Girl! ERMAGERD is that DJ Cozmic at :35?!

And they better not blow this off, either... some of Ted Knight's finest work!

Has someone been watching Archer? ;)
I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."
