    Plot

    Season 1 (13 Episodes)

    The entire series holds episodes that are exact adaptations of several of the FF's tales and is part of the Marvel Action Hour, alongside Iron Man: The Animated Series and The Incredible Hulk: Animated Series. This series was toned to a campy feel, thus making it kid friendly but not grown up entertaining. Each episode contains a small intro, courtesy of "The Man" himself, Stan Lee, talking about his works regarding the team. This series contains humor through the use of gags. They are stationed at Baxter Building. During their face-offs, they battle Doctor Doom, The Skrulls and their Super-Skrull, Galactus, Blastaar, Annihilus, Mole Man, Puppet Master and Namor. With help from the Silver Surfer, Alicia Masters and The Watcher, the world will be saved from these atrocities.

    Season 3 (No Episodes)

    The show cancelled after the episode, "Doomsday" was aired. According to Tom Tataranowicz, the supervising prodcuer of Season 2, they would've adapted the story line containing Invisible Woman's pregnancy and their own version of Namor. They would also have made She-Hulk and Medusa as temporary members of the team.

    Reception

    Critical reception for the first season was overall negative. It was heavily criticized for it's campy tone, poor animation, several inconsistencies in each episodes and nearly predictable story lines. Because of it's terrible results, the show was forced to be produced under a new studio (Season 2). Though it was slightly praised for being reliable to the source material. For Season 2, the reception became more positive because of it's darker tone. But the ratings continued to drop after suffering from the first season's outcome, thus cancelling the series.
