Tube Talk Recommends: Justic League and Justice League Unlimited

(This week the world lost a very talented and imaginative individual. Special effects artist, Ray Harryhausen, died this past week at the age of 92.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.) 

Over the past couple of weeks I have been watching a lot of content on "Netflix". This is due to "Cartoon Network" and their recent contributions to the streaming service. They have added a surplus of cartoons to "Netflix instant". Essentially, my entire child and more can be viewed with the click of a button. This has cause me a little more time using this service than usual, which is what they probably counted on. What I'm watching the most happens to be both: "Justice League" and Justice League Unlimited".


The former was broadcast from 2001-2004 and the ladder aired from 2004-2006. They both similar to each other in many ways, yet still have several differences between them. "Justice league Unlimited" is technically the sequel series to "Justice League". This can be seen by the two sharing: producers, voice actors, and both have a very comparable sense of humor. The main difference between them are: the cast lists, and series structure. "Justice League" has a very unique way of telling their stories. Every episode in the series is told over the course of two or three episodes. 

The same can't be said for "Justice League Unlimited". Every story in this series is a stand alone episode. This is to focus on the countless amount of heroes featured across many different stories. Unlike the "Justice League" show that came before this one, which had a small cast of only seven super heroes. That is why the second series is the only one that bares the name unlimited. It is referring to the number of heroes that are featured through the course of the show. 

If this would be your first viewing or even your 100th of these great shows, I would recommend watching them as soon as you can. They are filled with great stories, hilarious jokes, thrilling action, and more super heroes than you can count. Both cartoons can be found and streamed instantly on "Netflix" right now.
