Super 6 the series
I am just watching this title now, I bought it at wal-mart for $5 on 8/20/13. The set contains 2 one sided dvds. Super Bwoing is the one with the guitar, Captaim Whammo is the guy with shades with the funny red black and yellow hat. Magneto Man has a magnet on his chest, Granite man looks like a roman statue, Super Scuba is in a blue scuba? suit, and Elevator Man looks like he is on a safari but his power appears to be as giant man with a button control on his belt. The dvd plays as a three episode shorts with a play all selection. Of what I have so far seen the transfer is very nicely done, hench the 5 stars. The episodes seem like they would have great appeal for the young, but I found them to be very entertaining.
Super 6 - Just Super!
An unexpected surprise. One for the quality of the release and two for the fact it got released in the first place! This was the first made-for-TV animated series made by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises(The folks that brought us the Pink Panther theatrical shorts). Although the animation quality is slightly lower budget - the writing and voice acting is still top notch. With familiar voices like Paul Frees, Daws Butler, June Foray & Artie Johnson(among others) you can't go wrong.
The series itself revolves around 6 super heroes-Super Scuba, Magnito Man, Elevator Man, Granite Man, Captain Zammo and the super hero in training Super Bwoing(the guy riding the guitar and always goofing up.) The show also features The Matzoriley Brothers - A guy with 3 heads(and 3 distinct voices). The character likely modeled after a villain featured in an episode of The Inspector(also featuring 3 heads). Each half hour program has 3 cartoons. A Super Bwoing, A Matzoriley Brothers and one featuring...
The Super 6 Rare Series
I completely missed this show when it aired back in 1966. I thought it was just another super hero program and stayed away. Believe it or not, it's really a humorous cartoon take on Super Heroics. All twenty episodes of the original program are here, with the bridges between the cartoons. Super Bwoing is in every show, and sounds like a very young Jimmy Stewart. He's really an incompetent teenage super hero, and rides through the air on his electric guitar. He has a funny relationship with the supervisor of the Super Six headquarters, sort of like Maynard G. Krebs and his teachers. Most of the Super Bwoing cartoons have strong or clever endings, the hardest part to write in a comedy script. The Matzoriley Brothers are the second cartoon in every episode. They are a three headed man with a separate personality for each head, one is timid, one is brash and one is Chinese. The voices are by Paul Frees and Daws Butler. These cartoons are weighed down by the complexity of the Matzorileys...
