I remember seeing this cartoon as a kid, and I have to say, this is one of the worst cartoons Hannah-Barbara has ever released. Basically, the idea is to take the Harlem Globetrotters roster at the time this aired and make them into superheroes. And man, are they terrible. Three of the five are basically horrible attempts at recycling The Impossibles (Multi Man, Liquid Man, and Spaghetti Man, the third being the horrid attempt to recycle Coil Man, as it's living spaghetti with a human face), while the other two get lame superpowers (like poor Curly becoming Super Sphere, a hero with a basketball for a head who can only extract his body into said head, becoming a basketball).
The episodes sadly follow the same formula: Villain of the episode starts their plan, the Globetrotters are playing a basketball game, afterwards, they get an alert from Crime Globe about villain's plan, they become Super Globetrotters to stop villain's plan, after a chase, the Globetrotters and villain agree to a basketball game, villain's team creams the Globetrotters in the first half, only for them to go Super to come back from behind in second half, villain is either sent to jail or humiliated. This is the formula all thirteen episodes follow, with the only difference separating them is the plot inspired by the villain (be it big game hunter Bwana Bob hunting the Super Globetrotters, a pirate named Whaleman, who rides a robot whale, or Robo, who makes evil robot duplicates to frame the heroes for the crimes he commits). This is one of H-B's blunders and should be avoided unless you are into such cheesy superhero comedies.
