Bionic Six

Yeah, I didn't buy that Scarab didn't recognize them either. It would be different if he never met them in their civilian identities, but he did and should recognize them easily. I mean, they are a fairly distinctive group.

And while we're on the subject, how come none of the classmates recognized them either? They were international celebrities, after all. And to cap it all off (before the remaining five get their superpowers), Bionic One's kids look at him on the telly and DON'T recognize him!!! I wish they would put this out on DVD soon. But there's hope, lots of those old shows are coming out now. I just got the final Transformers episodes where I live (on DVD), after buying every prior episode.

What a wonderful opening theme song. In the 80's just about all the cartoons had catchy memorable theme songs, I wonder what happened. Bionic Six like anything from the 80's had a beautifully animated pilot episode. Bionic 1 was the first and then he took his family on a ski trip, while on the trip aliens landed and the family got caught in an avalanche. Bionic 1 brought his family to Prof. Sharp, and the only way to save the family was to give them Bionics. Prof. Sharp had a brother and his brother was the arch villain of the series, named Scarab. Wonderful writing, brother against brother, family fighting together side by side. Enjoyable for anyone young or old, you can enjoy it at many different levels.

Am I the only one who notices the ridiculous fact about this show that no one in the story could seem to figure out who the Bionic Six were? I mean, come on, not only did they NOT WEAR MASKS, but they were a family consisting of two Caucasian kids, an African-American and an Asian kid. Kind of hard to miss, yet it seemed in every episode people would be asking "Who are the Bionic Six?" Did the writers think the kids watching were complete morons?

Very awesome show. I used to watch Bionic Six all the time and it was one of the fondest memories of being 11 years old.

Hopefully Teletoon will have the sense to bring old shows like this back to mainstream audiences instead of all of this Scooby Doo type crap like Cow and Chicken that they've got on right now.

Not that I have anything against Cow and Chicken it's just that it's in reruns and it's not as interesting as it was 4 years ago. Hopefully it will get back to the airwaves very much like Voltron or the Transformers did.

Bionic Six - oooh ooh!

This show rocks!

If you get a chance to see this show, you should agree with me that it's a visually amazing production. The characters have depth, are well-drawn, and the animation is of above average quality for an animated program of that era.

The stories and writing are typical, and feature typical situations that you'll find protagonists of a super-hero action/adventure show involved in.

The concept is definitely refreshing, and it's definitely a show you should take a look at in your nostalgic endevours.
