Just watched the 2 part ep of The Six Million Dollar Man - The Secret of Bigfoot and the 2 part ep of The Bionic Woman - Kill Oscar Goldman, the one that introduces the fembots. Needless to say both of these villains scared the bejezus out of me when I was a kid. 😱

Had all the toys though! I was also a member of the Steve Austin fan club. Had to send away and got a signed 8x10 glossy portrait of Lee Majors as Col Austin. 🤓😅👍

@gedeonm I loved both series as a teenager, too. We got them in Germany about ten years after they aired in the U.S., but it was futuristic enough that this didn't matter much. I loved the nerd factor this series had, and also loved the action and occasional drama. That "bionic sound" still makes me smile when I encounter it today somewhere.

@marco One of the greatest sound effects of all time!

@gedeonm @marco I always, even as an impressionable kid in the 70’s, thought $6M was actually really cheap for what they did. This is not an American medical costs thing; I mean this purely as a sort of bang-for-buck analysis, not that I had those words available to me back then. It’s less than $45M in today’s USD.
