The above episodes appear to be all the Lost Shorts from 1983, which is a bit strange to have them released first, since there were two other Seasons of Shorts that came out earlier in 1980 & 1981 which are not yet on DVD. Here is a list of those episodes:

The 1980 Shorts:
01) Bigfoot
02) Ice Demon
03) Makeup Monster
04) Journey Into Blackness
05) Cycle Gang
06) Dive To Disaster

08) Rock And Roll Space Bandits
09) Elevator To Nowhere
10) One Small Step For Mars
11) Haunted House
12) The Incredible Crude Oil Monster
13) The Voodoo Vampire
14) Invasion Of The Gleeks
15) Mxyzptlk Strikes Again
16) The Man In The Moon

13) The Iron Cyclops
14) Palette's Perils
15) Colossus
16) Stowaways From Space
17) The Staraghosta Sea
18) The Witch's Arcade

What worries me is that the 1983 Lost Episodes are being released before the 1979 "Worlds Greatest Superfriends" series, which only consisted of eight 30 minute episodes:

"Rub Three Times For Disaster" (9/22/79)
"Lex Luthor Strikes Back" (9/29/79)
"Space Knights of Camelon" (10/06/79)
"The Lord of Middle Earth" (10/13/79)
"Universe of Evil" (10/20/79)
"Terror At 20,000 Fathoms" (10/27/29)
"The Superfriends Meet Frankenstein" (11/03/79)
"The Planet of OZ" (11/10/79)

This may be an indication that there are copyright problems getting 'Worlds Greatest' released because it incorporates story ideas taken from famous books/novels like "Lord Of The Rings," "The Wizard Of OZ," etc. I hope I'm wrong, but then why skip it and focus on the "Lost Episodes" instead? And let's not forget the 1973 "Superfriends" series with Wendy, Marvin, & Wonderdog that lasted for sixteen episodes and is currently only available, legally, as digital downloads on i-tunes & Amazon's Video-On-Demand:

01) The Power Pirate
02) The Baffles Puzzle
03) Professor Goodfellow's G.E.E.C.
04) The Weather Maker
05) Dr. Pelagian's War
06) The Shamon 'U'
07) Too Hot To Handle
08) The Androids
09) The Balloon People
10) The Fantastic FRERPs
11) The Ultra Beam
12) The Menace of the White Dwarf
13) The Mysterious Moles
14) Gulliver's Gigantic Goof
15) The Planet-Splitter
16) The Watermen
