All-New Super Friends Hour: Drag Race (1977)

 



This is the second segment of the fourth episode of The All-New Super Friends Hour, unlike most other Super Friends formats, this one had hour long episodes that were made up of various shorter cartoons. The first segment would be an adventure staring two members (or three in some cases as Batman and Robin would often team with another Super Friend) of the Super Friends. The second would be a morality play staring the Wonder Twins. The third would be a typical half hour Super Friends adventure. The fourth and last segment would feature one of the main Super Friends teaming up with a special DC Comics guest star. 

In this cartoon the Wonder Twins help a teenage boy, who is participates in a drag race. 

This is another lame Wonder Twins cartoon. It is not entertainment in any way. Instead, once again it is nothing but a sermon for this show's intended young audience. The moral could not be told in a more preachy and obvious way. The dialogue itself is so incredibly on the nose that it is kind of embarrassing. The only attempts at entertainment are two very unfunny gags. I can't even picture myself as a little kid enjoying this. 

This is bad.
