Saw it on the guide on COZI. Now I'm binge watching tonight, brings back a lot of memories of the 70's.

Actually a pretty good show, especially the sound effects.

Until the sasquatch episodes, it was a good show.

Have to confess... as a 6-year-old, I had a bit of a crush on Lindsay Wagner.

[Bullish]

Bonanza, Mission impossible, Hawaii-50. Those were good shows.

6m man was always a bit too corny and predictable for me.

After a severely injured test pilot is rebuilt with nuclear-powered bionic limbs and implants, he serves as an intelligence agent.

Nuclear powered????!?

One good bout of diarreah, and the whole city block is unlivable.

I later read the novel Cyborg. Austin ends up in the desert with a female Israeli agent. She teaches him survival techniques. She tells him to pee into a canteen, and then drink it. "We cant' afford to waste any liquids," she says.

I thought that was disgusting, and never forgot it. I also thought, I'd rather die of thirst than drink pee.

I watched the show while in high school. I thought it and The Bionic Woman were good spy thrillers.

I bought The Bionic Woman DVDs some 10 years ago. I was astonished at what a cheesy, stupid, low-grade show it was.

A helicopter was chasing Jamie in East Germany. But the East German forest roads looked like Los Angeles's San Fernanado Valley desert terrain.

We'd cut to interior shots of helicopter shooting a machine gun at Jamie, and you could see Vietnamese rice paddies below. Then when we'd cut to the helicopter's exterior, it looked like a small two seater with no machine gun in sight.

And whenever there was a bust to be made, OSI Director Oscar Goldman himself would do it. He once flew in from D.C. to help Jamie bust a smuggling ring at a California Air Force Base. Like a CIA Director would fly 3,000 miles to personally arrest a few chips smugglers, rather than just phone the local police?

How about The Six Million Peso Man?

Today, he'd be wind-powered!

Lee Grant did the TV series

The plane Crash was real and the test pilot survived with similar injuries.

You’d think for $6 million, the cybernetic arms and legs wouldn’t make that da da da da da da da da da da sound every time he used them. And that when he ran, it wouldn’t be in slow motion all the time.

This was my favorite show as a little kid in the mid 70s. Somewhere in the basement of my mothers house lies a Steve Austin doll in a red jump suit that has the ability to arm curl a big block Chevrolet engine!

[lowbridge]

Watched it in daily syndicated reruns as a kid in the 1970s. We neighborhood kids would play “six million dollar man” be pretending to run in slow motion while making the ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch sound.

Arm and legs but no reinforced spine and he’d lift cars with that arm.

[EvilCapitalist]

Watching it now myself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOGDggRqkgI

[RandallFlagg]

My favorite episodes had these in them.

Watched the movie Network last night with Faye Dunaway and William Holden, in one scene she’s talking about how their TV show “is even bigger than Million Dollar Man!” I loved the 70s

[antidemoncrat]

Pales in comparison to the Six Trillion Dollar President.

The real pilot of the Northrop M2-F2 Lifting Body during the dreadful crash landing on May 10, 1967 seen at the beginning of “The Six Million Dollar Man”, was NASA test pilot Bruce Peterson. https://theaviationist.com/2020/05/10/the-m2-f2-crash/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrETaU9wfho&t=6s&ab_channel=HuntleyFilmArchives
