I watched them when they originally aired and loved them. I picked up the seasons on DVD, but never made it past the first season. Then I upgraded to blu-ray, but haven't watched them yet. I also have a complete blu-ray box set of Batman: The Animated series and Superman the animated series. They are probably both still in the shrinkwap. I love these programs but finding time to watch them is a whole other animal. But since I am actively carving out time to watch the movies, I'll try to do some of the Justice League episodes. Who knows, maybe I'll squeeze in a Batman Animated and Superman animated episode or two too.
