The Super 6 is an animated cartoon series which was produced by DePatie–Freleng Enterprises and Mirisch-Rich Television Productions in 1966, and shown on NBC from 1966 to 1969.
According to Friz Freleng in a [1982] interview, the name change occurred when Wham-O, creators of such toys as the Super Ball, filed a legal grievance against DePatie-Freleng over trademark infringement.
Reportedly, the first commercial to air after the first televised "Captain Whammo" segment was, ironically, for the Super Ball.
Another version appeared in The Great De Gaulle Stone Operation (the first short in The Inspector series).
In a comic plot twist ending, they wind up winning the day after the Inspector accidentally drinks a glass of water with the diamond in it.
