The Super Globetrotters wind up on a jungle island after their cruise ship crashes, and in order to bring everyone home, the team has to play a game of basketball with the monstrous hench-beings of "Bwana Bob" (Len Weinrib). Michael Rye is the narrator.
Of the cast from the 1970 Harlem Globetrotters series, only Stu Gilliam (Curly/Super Sphere) and Scatman Crothers (now voicing Nate) returned, in addition to supporting players Don Messick and John Stephenson.
All they really did was use the same gimmick from the earlier series, amplified by giving three 'Trotters the powers of the Impossibles, plus Gizmo & Super Sphere. Airing opposite H-B stablemate World's Greatest Super Friends, it's easy to see why this show bombed.
Rating: B-.
