Filmation's Animated SHAZAM! on Netflix Streaming

[Prof Ultimate]

I don't know if this ever got mentioned here. Most of the Netflix streaming news has focused on the recent addition of several Marvel animated shows-and 4 of the Star Treks, but for those who are interested, Netflix also added Filmation's 1983 animated Shazam! series to their streaming service. Originally aired on NBC as part of the Kid Super Power Hour (with Hero High).

That's pretty good, but I think it would be more appropriate if Warner Home Video were to release all episodes of Filmation's animated Shazam series on DVD. BTW. The Kid Power Hour with Shazam aired on NBC Saturday mornings in the 1981-82 season, and because the Shazam half of the program is based on DC Comics Captain Marvel character, and DC Comics' parent company is Warner Communications Inc., it should really fall under Warner Bros. jurisdiction. I'd like to see Warner Home Video release each and every episode of Filmation's animated Shazam series on DVD- it will definitely help add to WB's legacy of releasing classic animation from within its property onto DVD. Come on, WHV, release the animated Shazam on DVD!!!

That's disappointing. The website instantwatcher has it listed as expiring June 1 2012, but it seems it's been taken down for an undisclosed reason.

That's interesting. Wonder if WHV has plans for it under the WAC program? They did just recently announce Tarzan which is also a Filmation series.

Warner Home Video should plan on releasing all episodes of Filmation's 1981 animated program, Shazam, which aired as part of NBC's The Kid Power Hour with Shazam. Also, Captain Marvel is a D.C. Comics character, which Warner Bros. holds jurisdiction over. All the same, email WB, just in case. Personally, I can't wait until the finished remastering product of Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle comes out on DVD from Warner Home Video- I bet it will be nearly just like it freshly aired on CBS, years ago.
