Classic Mario TV Show Added to Netflix Instant Watch

Watch Mario circa-1989 on your Wii

 

While this is tangentially related to all things Wii, it recently came to my attention that The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! was added to the Netflix Instant Watch service.

 

All Wii systems can now stream the classic 1989 television show, providing you have a Netflix membership.  Of course, you'll need the Instant Streaming Disc, too.  The show, also available via Netflix' standard rental, contains 24 episodes spanning four discs.

 

This also means that Mario Bros. show can be streamed through your PC and other Netflix-enabled devices... including the Xbox 360 and PS3.  This may be the only time you get to legally pump Mario through the competitors' game consoles, so enjoy it while you can.

 

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! is a combination live-action/animated show, with Mario being played by the late "Captain" Lou Albano, and Danny Wells plays Luigi.  Both actors also had a tendency to step out of character for their sitcom scenes, which appear primarily at the beginning and end of each episode.

 

For those wondering: No, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! is not available on the Nintendo Channel.
