One character is an Amazon princess that wears a costume that reveals her cleavage.

One of the new characters introduced this season is a young superhero who has a crush on an older woman. The two characters kissed each other in one episode. This wasn't suggesting that she was a cougar, it was just an innocent expression of appreciation.

This season was aired during a time in the history of Saturday morning cartoons in which shows like Transformers and G.I. Joe were allowed to feature more violence then what was previously allowed due to censorship. This is evident this season. In fact, even in the opening theme, Apache Chief can be seen punching a villain in the face, and even though it was a robot, such physical violence was pretty much never tolerated in the series prior to this season.

This season was a bit more intense then earlier Superfriends seasons, but not really on a frightful level. Darkseid might have been thought of as a scary villain, but not compared to the final season. Brainiac on the other hand, changed his look, looking far more menacing as he had the appearance of a Terminator-like robot. This was an appearance he still had in The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians. But still, even most small children shouldn't find most of this show too scary.
