Bionic Six - "Just A Little Handicap" Part 1 of 3

Here's an episode of the 80's cartoon "Bionic Six". This episode is titled "Just A Little Handicap" and aired in 1987.

The premise of the show is that there's a family of Bionically enhanced superheroes that fight evil...in the future. Their primary nemesis is the evil Doctor Scarab, who has a host of bizarre looking minions that say "Hail Scarab!" a lot. And since Scarab is basically an obese and crazy looking version of George C. Scott in a wheelchair, who can blame them?

The episode focuses on a handicapped kid named Ronnie who is easily tricked to help out Glove and Madame O, two of Scarab's minions.

After watching "Bits & Pieces Part 2" I had to come back here to see the kickass opening to another fine example of 80s animation! TMS strikes again, and not only with this, but they did lots of stuff for Disney and The Disney Afternoon in the 80s, as well as The Littles, The Might Orbots, The Real Ghosbusters (you can see a lot of similarties in that series and this one), and so much more. I agree that this animation can rival ANYTHING today. Bionic 6 aired on WPIX-11 in New York!

@DanZero77 I'm guessing TMS was responsible for the Ghostbusters episodes that aired in syndication. I bought the entire series on DVD a few years ago and was struck by how much better the animation (And writing) was in the syndication episodes Vs. the Saturday Morning stuff that aired on ABC. Almost like two completely different shows.

[dvdfan100]

this cartoon, thats what it is, is to corny and they let everyone know about there bionics,

its realy stuped cartoon for kids, star trek was great untill they made it into a stuped cartoon show for kids godzilla was the same, when a good live Action show like men in black or

the six million dollar man and the bionic woman gets turned into a silly corny cartoon show,

it makes me want to throw up.

interesting message for an 80's show. I can't believe i didn't notice it then. its great to see the positive messages they had on an action show like this without hiding it behind a cute face or some fluffy animal.
