DISTRIBUTED and OWNED BY: (Shazam) Warner Bros. Television/DC Comics and (Hero High) NBCUniversal/DreamWorks Classics

SUMMARY: 
Hour long show featuring animated episodes of Hero High and Shazam! (DC's Captain Marvel).  Live action segments featured the Hero High kids performing music and comedy shorts.  Filmation previously did a live-action Shazam series from 1974-1977.  Originally the Hero High students were going to be Archie and his Riverdale HIgh friends as superheroes, but the rights Filmation had with Archie expired, so they created new teens for the show. The episodes of Hero High and the live-action segments have been released on DVD as Hero High: The Complete Series from BCI Eclipse in 2007.  The Shazam segments have not made it to DVD as of yet.
