| - In 1983, Hanna-Barbera did produce a third set of 7 minute shorts. There were 24 in total. Unfortunately, they did not air in the USA. The series did air in other countries like Australia, appearing uninterrupted. Because of this, they have been dubbed the "Lost Episodes". Hanna-Barbera and Warner Bros. had created a syndication package of the earlier Super Friends series (co-distributed by LBS Communications), and these were picked up by various stations across the United States and were typically broadcast on weekday afternoons. Not wishing to compete with the syndication programming, ABC dropped the series from the 1983–1984 Saturday morning television line-up, and for the second time in its run, Super Friends was cancelled. Three of these lost episodes were aired when Super Friends returned to Saturday morning ABC television the following year. What did air in the USA were shows like the Monchichis, Rubik the Amazing Cube, and The Littles. The only Super Hero shows found on Saturday mornings that year were all reruns shows. The final season of Spiderman and His Amazing Friends and the animated adventures of the Incredible Hulk reruns on NBC, and on CBS, Ruby-Spears' Plastic Man, which was later replaced by Filmation’s Tarzan series. In the mid 1990’s, the SuperFriends returned to syndication in the form of the The Superman/Batman Adventures package, these lost episodes were part of this show and its American audience was finally exposed to Super Friends adventures they had never seen before.
