The now infamous opening words spoken by Oscar Goldman over the titles of the Six Million Dollar Man .
The series origionally screened in the UK on ITV in 1974, re-runs are being shown even today on the Sci-Fi channel.
It starred...Lee Majors as Steve Austin the astronaut test pilot who lost his right arm, both legs and his left eye in an accident .And.....Richard Anderson as Oscar Goldman the head of the OSI government agency who along with Rudy Wells rebuilds Steve,the price tag,Six Million dollars.
Although the series only ran for four years in the UK it made Steve Austin a household name,and spawned numerous spin-offs The Bionic Woman ,The Bionic Boy and Max the Bionic dog.More recently two feature films have been made Bionic showdown introducing Sandra Bullock to the superhuman fold,and Bionic Forever in which Steve Austin and Jamie Sommers finally tie the knot.
This television show was a seventies classic
I am starting to compile a series of web pages dedicated to those seventies
and eighties American comedy and Drama shows that will live on forever
maybe even a Prisoner Cell block H site. If you have any ideas email me
