Super Friends (1973)

None. Although a main character shows constant cleavage and bare legs. Some women are also seen, although rarely, in bikinis.

There is an episode in which a a young girl is hitchhiking and is picked up by a stranger in his car. He kidnaps her, and the implication was that he was going to rape her or sexually abuse her in some way.

One of the main characters is a scantily-clad Amazon female who shows her cleavage throughout. Other barely dressed characters appear throughout, usually in bikinis or other costumes that showed a lot of skin.

An Amazon superhero wears a costume that reveals cleavage all throughout her appearances.

In the episode "Secret Origins of the Super Friends," a little girl is shown nude. This is an extremely innocent scene that shouldn't be considered offensive to most people.

One character is an Amazon princess that wears a costume that reveals her cleavage.

One of the new characters introduced this season is a young superhero who has a crush on an older woman. The two characters kissed each other in one episode. This wasn't suggesting that she was a cougar, it was just an innocent expression of appreciation.

A main character showed cleavage throughout every episode of her appearance.

In the episode "The Bizarro Super Powers Team," there is a slightly shocking scene in which a statue of a completely topless mermaid is shown. Her bare breasts and nipples are clearly visible.

The violence is extremely mild compared to the older superhero cartoons and especially the more modern ones.

The violence was very mild, although it was a step up from the 1973 series. There were scenes in which the entire Earth was in peril, even scenes in which entire planets were going to collide, and Superman couldn't stop it. But no on-screen death or blood, punching etc.

There is an episode where a girl is kidnapped, and although it is never stated, it seems pretty clear that the kidnapper intends to do something violent to her, probably rape.

One episode shows violent teenagers vandalizing a school and setting it on fire.

Very mild violence throughout the show. Although it was a superhero action series, the violence was heavily toned down for Saturday morning. Combat scenes featuring punching or shooting were not allowed. Typically the most violent act seen might be someone getting thrown by another opponent, only to land safely and unharmed.

This season was aired during a time in the history of Saturday morning cartoons in which shows like Transformers and G.I. Joe were allowed to feature more violence then what was previously allowed due to censorship. This is evident this season. In fact, even in the opening theme, Apache Chief can be seen punching a villain in the face, and even though it was a robot, such physical violence was pretty much never tolerated in the series prior to this season.

The violence was mostly mild, although it was by far the most violent of the Superfriends series. There was lots of superheroes and supervillains fighting, including showing characters getting shot with lasers, omega beams, blown into space, injured, tortured and knocked out. Still, no on screen deaths were shown this season, and death itself was only referenced a couple of times in the series.

In one episode, a young boy witnesses his parents get murdered in front of him in an alley. It's clear they were killed by a gun, although it wasn't shown or heard, as thunder had struck as the two shots were fired.

In one episode, one of the main characters was seemingly killed off. Although he was actually only comatose, his skin was gruesomely discolored, making him green. That same episode featured a different superhero getting tortured by Darkseid and Desaad.

There are occasional religious euphemisms used such as Jeepers, Jeebies, Mon dieu, etc.

Only minor religious euphemisms.

A few characters are seen smoking cigars and pipes in a few episodes.

There was a reference to alcohol, drugs and smoking in some episodes of the show, but they were always presented in a negative light. On a couple of instances they were discussed in PSAs.

In the episode "The Wild Cards," the Penguin can be seen smoking a cigarette. He appears twice in the series but only in this episode he was seen smoking.

It's extremely unlikely anyone would find anything in this scary, although there are scenes that are played like horror movies, but mainly for laughs, such as in the episode "The Shamon U," in which a couple of characters were scared because they see shadowy figures in the dark, but it turned out to be characters they knew.

Very small children might find some of the monsters in this show somewhat scary, such as the Plant Creatures.

The series was a bit more intense than previous Superfriends series. The Legion of Doom for example, was a far more dangerous threat than anything they'd previously faced, but for the most part, the shows were pretty scare free.

This season was a bit more intense then earlier Superfriends seasons, but not really on a frightful level. Darkseid might have been thought of as a scary villain, but not compared to the final season. Brainiac on the other hand, changed his look, looking far more menacing as he had the appearance of a Terminator-like robot. This was an appearance he still had in The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians. But still, even most small children shouldn't find most of this show too scary.

Episodes such as "The Fear" and "The Death of Superman" might be, if not scary, at least very upsetting to small children. Other episodes might as well, although probably not to the same degree as the episodes mentioned.
