Rating:  - A TRIP IN THE WAY BACK MACHINE
First, a little history behind the series. These Aquaman episodes were originally broadcast in 1967 - 1968 as part of the Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure. The show featured not only the two heroes of the title, but also guest appearances by other characters such as The Atom, Green Lantern, Hawkman, The Flash, and even the Teen Titans. Then in 1968, just the Aquaman episodes were repackaged by CBS and the animation studio, Filmation, as the Aquaman show, which then ran from 1968 - 1970 on Saturday mornings. All 36 episodes (running about 6 - 7 minutes each) are included in this brand new two DVD set.
The show starred Marvin Miller as the voice of Aquaman and Ted Knight as the shows narrator as well as Aquaman's nemesis Black Manta. Miller provided the voice of Robby the Robot in the sci-fi classic, Forbidden Planet. Knight of course is best known for his portrayal as news anchor Ted Baxter in the Mary Tyler Moore Show and also as Judge Smales in Caddyshack. Knight also did a lot of work in animation. Besides Aquaman, he was the long time narrator of the Super Friends animated show. My only complaint about Knight is that he pronounces the characters name as if it were spelled "ACK-waman", and it's quite annoying.
The show was produced by Filmation, a fairly prolific animation studio during the 60's through the 80's. Among the classic Saturday morning shows they produced were The Archie Show, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, Star Trek the Animated Series, the live-action Shazam ... Read More

The Adventures of Aquaman - The Complete Collection (DC Comics Classic Collection)
The summer of 1967 was one of the most exciting times of my childhood, once CBS began to run their ads for the "Superman/Aquaman Hour Of Adventure." I'd been an avid fan of Aquaman and Aqualad stories since their days in Adventure Comics, and, being that Aqualad was my favorite hero, I also followed his adventures with his land-bound friends, The Teen Titans. I watched the "Aquaman" series every Saturday for two years and for several years after on Sunday mornings at 7am. Thanks to "The Adventures Of Aquaman" DVD, I can now get my sleep and enjoy these cartoons any time.
The voice actors in the "Aquaman" series were amazing, most notably the manic performances of Ted Knight as the narrator, as well as playing nearly every villain featured. I can only imagine the contortions he went into while delivering lines for the Sea Sorcerer or Captain Barracuda. Marvin Miller, previously the voice of TV's "The Millionaire," made for a wonderfully regal yet benign Aquaman, and Jerry Dexter's voicing of Aqualad quite nicely matched the innocent zeal of Aquaman's faithful friend and sidekick. (Every time I see the "Jumpin' Jellyfish" ride at Disney's California Adventure, I hear Jerry's voice in my head saying that line). Diana Maddox had more work at playing the trouble-making Queen Vassa or the winsome Wonder Girl in the "Teen Titans" filler cartoons of this series than as Mera, here featured as the Aqua-Duo's ...

Rating: - "Amen to that, A-man!"
Great gastropods! Aquafans everywhere are all a-tingle over this swell 2-DVD collection of 36 six-minute animated adventures starring the King of the Seven Seas, Aquaman (that's "ACK-wa-man," not "AH-kwa-man"). These charmingly corny programs, narrated by Too Close for Comfort's Ted Knight, are dripping with nostalgia and bubbling over with fun! Sadly, the discs come in one of Warner's universally despised el cheapo, super-skinny digipack cases. That means you can't remove Disc 2 without first removing Disc 1. Sufferin' starfish!--I loathe this type of case! On the plus side, the artwork printed on all sides of the cardboard is sensational. The picture quality of the cartoons themselves is also good, with vibrant colors that will make your eyeballs water with delight. As with most Filmation shows, the characters are drawn very simply with bold black outlines. The Sea King's suit lacks the scales seen in the comics, and the whites of his eyes are incorrectly flesh colored. The exotic undersea backgrounds are nicely detailed. But--holy haddocks!--doesn't that exact same school of fish appear in almost every episode?
As any comic book aficionado worth his saltwater knows, Aquaman has the power to communicate telepathically with sea creatures via a series of white rings that emanate from the center of his forehead. Oddly enough, the denizens of the deep always obey his commands. Wailin' wolf fish!--I wish my dog was half that obedient! What's more, the orange and green-clad marvel is ... Read More
