A really fun episode.
In this episode, Gorilla Grodd invents an inter-spacial time conveyor, that allows the Legion of Doom to go back in time to steal various historical treasures. It is up to the Super Friends to stop them but they are excepting and ready for the Super Friends.
There is a lot to enjoy about this episode. The idea is just the type of over-the-top type of Super Hero adventure I love. There is a real creativity to this story, and it is fun to see our favorite DC heroes and villains travel to all these different time periods and locations. This also gives the episode a unique feel among Super Friends episodes. Naturally this also allows for the great background art that populates Hanna-Barbera cartoons of this era and this makes the episode a joy to look at. The episode also moves at a really fast and fun pace that never allows the episode to become boring for a second. This is helped by some really good action set pieces. The fact that this episode never takes itself too seriously, only adds to the fun. I also love that this episode gives nearly every Super Friend something to do without feeling overcrowded.
This episode is simply a lot of fun to watch.
This aired on TV alongside The New Super Friends episode, Sinbad and the Space Pirates (1978).
