Anyone want to explain how they're calling this the longest running Marvel series in history? Last I knew, they had less than half the number of eps Spider-Man did.

Unless they're somehow counting all the various cartoons over the years as a single show. But even then, the original Spider-Man cartoon is equally old, both started in 1967.

But you're right, the more recent FF one only had 2 seasons compared to the what... 4 that shows like X-Men and Spider-Man had?

Who's this "they"? And are they talking about the TV show or the Fantastic Four comic book series?

"They" is the packaging for the FF set.

the longest-running Marvel series in history arrives for the first time on DVD
According to the package.

In theory they're talking about the series, not the comics.

Spider man ran longer if you count all of them once you include all the variations of each.

Which FF series?

The one with Herbie the Robot instead of Human Torch, or the other one... the good one?

Just looked at the DVD at Amazon. I might pick it up because it's every episode and that's pretty cool. I'm waiting for them to release all the X-Men seasons on DVD. Definately would pick those up.

Who was the other main guy FF feuded with? Galactis, Galatica or something? I think he was on the Fantastic Four series

Galacticus and he really wasn't on that much. More or less they fought Doc Doom.

2 seasons or 3 seasons depending on who you ask. There are only 26 listed eps according to the box set, but then they also claim to be the longest running...;)

Well, he did ask who that OTHER guy was. I mean, Doom's kinda the default bad guy.
