What Else®

$7.5K: I never watched this cartoon. ATA.

It is not its own cartoon. They are minor characters on the show "Superfriends" starring Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman among others. After touching their rings together, they had the powers of turning into the shape of an animal (Jayna) and the form of something water related (Zan.) They also had a monkey, Gleep, and were primarily comic relief. The show also featured voice-work of Ted Knight.
Right in my wheelhouse!

When TPTB gave us the spoiler on Thursday about a $250,000 question, I presumed that Nathan would get that high. It was surprising when he bombed out this early.

How well I remember them from the '70s. And Smallville fans will know that the twins are due to make an appearance this season.

I've read that some have suggested the "fist bump" was made popular by Zan and Jayna's activation maneuever.
