fellow "Super Sunday" offerings by going on to be expanded into independent full-length shows. Jem achieved the greater success, eventually running to 65 episodes spanning several seasons, while Inhumanoids lasted only one season. In both cases, to begin the series, the introductory "movies" were cut into five separate 22-minute episodes composed of three shorts apiece. Inhumanoids was thereafter given the series subtitle, The Evil That Lies Within, a phrase which was included in the lyrics of the opening credits of the show in every episode. A further eight 22-minute episodes were then produced to yield the standard thirteen-episode TV season. The series proved unusual among children's cartoons of its time by the strong narrative flow that linked episodes in sequence with continuing storylines and suspenseful threading of subplots. Visually, the show was distinctive for its application of heavy shadow, use of split screens, and sometimes brow-raising for its gory content, such as monstrous amputations or writhing deaths by toxic waste, which would be hard-pressed to sneak their way into contemporary "children's hour" programming.
