Bionic Six

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
