Almost 40 years before the ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ stormed onto The CW, another team of DC champions blasted into living rooms under the name ‘Legends of the Superheroes’ with the first chapter subtitled ‘The Challenge’ and part two called ‘The Roast’.
On January 18 and 25, 1979, (consecutive Thursday nights) NBC aired two hour-long specials featuring the heroes and villains on the DC Universe.
The Brady Bunch, Donny & Marie Osmond, The Muppets, and of course, the Justice League of America. (I mean ‘Hee Haw’ was a top-rated show through the entire decade!) And everybody had a variety show. However, what many may not realize is that while, yes, this special is hard to sit through, it’s actually not that different from the majority of what was on TV during the 1970s. ‘The Star Wars Holiday Special’ has an infamous reputation– as it should because it is indeed terrible.
