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. 🤓😅👍

Since I was on a retro TV kick I picked a random ep of the old Emergency! series and boy it was awesome! A two-part ep from S7 that was like a mini disaster flick where they have to rescue office workers from a raging inferno high rise. Really impressive for a TV show from the 70’s. Hundreds of extras, tons of physical burning sets, and high drama.

The S7 ep also had a very familiar, very YOUNG John DeLancie, better known to us as Q from #StarTrek TNG. Impressive, Mon capitan!

@gedeonm I loved this show!

Made the pilgrimage in 2013

Friend of mine became a paramedic because of his childhood love of the show

@bgrinter @gedeonm I always regretted never finding this location the few times I visited SoCal so long ago. So Google Earth touring has been my only recourse.

The hospital that represented Rampart isn't far away.

@leebennett @bgrinter Man that’s cool. Amazing the hospital looks basically the same as it did. Thanks for that!

@gedeonm Ever since I bought an old 3Dconnexion navigator knob, I have LONG enjoyed flying around doing Google Earth sightseeing. So much fun. So many awesome things to find.

I just hope Google eventually updates the native app coz it's still Rosetta. I fear they're migrating to the web view which may have the same imagery, but the navigation and pro features just aren't as good.
