Bionic Six

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?

For some reason, everyone remembers the theme song!

A great family show that reinforced all the good things--family, unity, diversity, and acting when you know you have a just cause.

Subplots included a discussion of family tension, viz. Wilbur and Amadeus Sharpe, which was a retelling of the story of Jacob and Esau in the Bible.

Why isn't this on DVD?

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.

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.

Like most of the cartoons in the 80's Bionic Six had a great pilot episode and a memorable theme song, who could forget that, with great animation. Bionic Six was about a family of super charged individuals fighting Scarab and his hench men. Prof. Sharp gave the Benett's their powers and his brother Scarab was their arch enemy. The animation when they said "Bionics onnnnnnn" and put their rings to their wrist bands was always a treat to watch. You had a family fighting crime and evil while balancing their own family and their outside normal life, while you had a brother fighting his brother with super humans. Man what writing. Young and old can enjoy this at so many levels, too bad Cartoon Network doesn't run anything else but Scooby Doo. If you ever have a chance to watch Bionic Six don't hesitate.
