From 1992 to 1995 the FOX network took at cue from the re-invention of the movie Batman and made an animated series that was dark, tapped into the array of cool villians, and had a super smart Batman sans Robin. The results hit all the right cylinders. No other TV show has come as close to capturing that feel of a comic book.

The Batman series which ran on ABC from 1966 to 1968 has not yet made it to DVD but it still shines as a pitch perfect campy spoof to the super hero genre..though a little of it can go along way (Hence it's two season run).

The classic DC title Justice League (JLA) was translated to a cartoon formate that ran on Cartoon Network from 2001 to 2004. In this multi-super hero TV show, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and others teamed up to fight injustice. Far better than it's predecessor Super Friends.

What do superheros do when they're not fighting crime? Mostly sit around, drink coffee and diss' each other. In this superhero satire the mysterious and often dull witted Tick tries to make a difference. Ran shortly on FOX in 2001.

In this realatively subtle show, Dr. David Banner is forced into a life of hiding after a mega dose of gamma radiation turns him into a giant green savage. Banner has little control over the creature and spends most of the series going town to town in search of a cure. Ran on CBS from 1978 to 1982.

Buy new: $41.99 / Used from: $3.43
A clever and often sweet look at the relationship between Lois and Clark (Superman). Sadly the show began to slowly suffer after the first season, especially after the two tie the knot. Ran on ABC from 1993 to 1997.

Running on Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2006 this Japanimation based series could be a little annoying, but if you stuck with it...it eneded up telling some very good stories (about a group of teenagers with super powers) right up 'till the end of it's run.

Buy new: $29.49 / Used from: $6.99
Wonder Woman had a roller coaster life span with both good and bad moments. A excellent first season had WW fighting Nazi's. For some reason WW was place in the 1970's for the rest of it's run falling prey to bad scripts and bad fashion. Ran on ABC and CBS from 1975 to 1979.

Police scientist Barry Allen is struck by lighting and gains super speed in this 1990-91 CBS series. The show had a sleek comic feel but found it's stride far two late in it's short life on TV.

Running on ABC from 1981 to 1983 The Greatest American Hero told the story of school teacher Ralph Hinkley who is given a super suit by aliens to save the world..only Ralph loses the directions. Never quite lives up to it's potential.
