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.
6m man was always a bit too corny and predictable for me.
Well they are now showing the first season, when the writing is good.
The Brits get it correct, they have about 10-12 episodes per season, so that the writers don't get burned out.
They’re also employed by the govt, right? Which gives them much more time for leisure, as they say on the island.
Nuclear powered????!?
One good bout of diarreah, and the whole city block is unlivable.
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?
If you were ten years old, that was a life altering event. Bigfoot was an alien robot from outer space and was played by Andre the Giant.
Every cool thing wrapped in one, two-part, epic masterpiece. And Stephanie Powers was hot.
Yes they were, but this is the mid 70's, Hunter Biden's actions makes watergate look like potato salad.
Today, he'd be wind-powered!

Lee Grant did the TV series
Not really a fan.
Did you see the NCIS episode where Agent Ellie Bishop went home to stay with her mother and brother in Oklahoma and then Gibbs arrived to lend support? The mother was Lindsay Wagner.
The old "Mission: Impossible" series was unashamedly guilty of this, too. But I did find the rampant "Gellerese" amusing!
The "Central European People's Republic" frequently featured in the show had plenty of signage like "Gaz Valven Shut-offski," etc.
It was a hoot!

“Not really a fan.”
LOL. What’s wrong with you?

No, I’ve never seen NCIS. But, again, I’m talking about ‘70s-era Lindsay.
True, they jumped the sasquatch!
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.
