Fantastic Four Animated Series

<div style="text-align: right;"><img src="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/mrjag/humtorchfly.jpg" /><!--right--></div>Fantastic Four is an animated television series based on Marvel's comic book series of the same name. Airing began in September 24, 1994, until ending on February 24, 1996. The series ran for 2 seasons, with 13 episodes per season. Making 26 episodes in total. In the early-to-mid-1990s, Marvel Productions syndicated a Fantastic Four animated series as part of The Marvel Action Hour. The first half of the hour was an episode of Iron Man; the second half an episode of Fantastic Four. <div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/mrjag/fntsfrlogo.jpg" /><!--center--></div> - Season 1: The vast majority of episodes in the first season consisted of fairly accurate re-tellings and intelligent re-interpretations of classic 1960s FF comic book stories by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, but the season's cost-effective animation and attempts to add humor through the inclusion of a fussy British landlady for the FF were generally met with displeasure by fans - to say nothing of then-current FF comic book writer Tom DeFalco, who got in trouble for penning a scene in issue #396 of the series that featured Ant-Man watching and lambasting an episode of the cartoon. - Season 2: Both the Fantastic Four and Iron Man series were radically retooled for the second seasons, sporting new opening sequences, improved animation, and more mature writing (the first season was primarily written by Ron Friedman, while the second season was overseen by Tom Tataranowicz), though noticeably having fewer introductions by Stan Lee, with several of the new shorter intros being used more than once. The Season 2 episodes also drew upon John Byrne’s 1980s run on the Fantastic Four comic, in addition to further Lee and Kirby adventures. The Marvel Action Hour lasted two seasons before being canceled. <div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/mrjag/ffbckgr.jpg" /><!--center--></div> - Season 3: According to Season 2 supervising producer Tom Tataranowicz, if there had been a third seasom of Fantastic Four, he would've wanted to go into the whole Sue Storm pregnancy story arc. In Tataranowicz' eyes, this would've given the production crew a chance to do their own take on the Sub-Mariner (who only appeared in Season 1), as he played into the arc in FF issues leading up to and around issue #100. Tataranowicz also wanted to bring Medusa and She-Hulk into the mix as part of the Fantastic Four. -<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantastic_Four_" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantastic_Four_</a>(1994_TV_series) <img src="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/mrjag/sue.jpg" /> <div style="text-align: center;"><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://youtube.com/v/InKh9j77NcE&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/InKh9j77NcE&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://youtube.com/v/GgQ5Wa4s_EQ&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GgQ5Wa4s_EQ&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><!--center--></div>
