In 1967, CBS began running the Filmation animated series The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure. Besides the lead features, the show offered additional alternating cartoon shorts, including the Atom, the Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkman, the Justice League of America, Superboy and the Teen Titans. A Martian Manhunter cartoon was not produced, but an unaired scored test introduction was uncovered on my computer with the help of modern day technology. It's a safe assumption the attempt was related to the success of the low budget 1967 Manhunter from Mars Movie. It's too bad more animation isn't available.
