The New Fantastic Four is the 1978 NBC Entertainment animated TV series based on the Marvel Comics super team of the same name.
The series is most noteworthy for replacing the Human Torch character with a lovable robot called H.E.R.B.I.E. At the time, it was rumored that the removal of Torch was due to concerns that kids who watched the show would engage in dangerous behavior with fire to emulate his powers, including fears of self-immolation. However, it is well-documented that film rights for the character were under option for Universal Studios and the character was not available to the producers of this series.
The New Fantastic Four ran for one season of 13 episodes.
