I would actually CALL the TV staion to find out when they would show them, so I would be absolutely sure not to miss them! I sought them out for years before they were available for ver little years afterwards. I'm convinced that these mini-masterpieces are the quintessential versions of the Man of Steel narrative, the original creators had in mind. Nothing since has so perfectly captured the true essence of Superman's character! I can recall seeing these on TV as a kid in the 50′s and 60′s.

I studied 2/D animation in art college and I'm often frustrated that american animation has yet to take traditional animation to the next level. As much as 3/D is popular nothing will compare to the amazing work of classic 2/d animation and the art that made it so wonderful. Sir your telling the truth!

God knows, no one could probably afford to do hand-painted backgrounds like that anymore. But the richness of atmosphere and color really is (or ought to be) shaming for anyone who's accomplishing way, way less with a way, way larger set of tools.
