== Trivia ==
* During development, the Joker and Catwoman were to have been members of the Legion of Doom. This was changed because the villains were already appearing in Filmation's The New Adventures of Batman. Hence, they were replaced with the Riddler and Scarecrow. Catwoman was absent from all iterations of Superfriends, while the Joker appeared in The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians episode "The Wild Cards".
* The series finale, "History of Doom" was almost excluded, since it showed the destruction of both the Superfriends and the Legion of Doom, as well as the Earth itself. However, it was allowed to air after it was pointed out that young viewers could not destroy the world the way the Legion of Doom did.
