Bionic Bonanza!
While the "Six Million Dollar Man" Series had some really great episodes sprinkled throughout each of its five seasons, I, for one, lay claim to "Season Two" offering the most diversity and quality of episodes overall. It really is a tour-de-force with the key roles of Steve Austin and Oscar Goldman fully fleshing out their characters and the show itself hitting its stride. In fact, with a few exceptions, Season 2 introduces or reinforces all of the key episodic elements that the show was primarily known for in its entirety, which makes this season so special. There are just so many good episodes in this one season but I will just touch on a few of the gems here...
Season Two includes the introduction of "The Seven Million Dollar Man" with Monte Markham guest starring in the title role as a Bionic Adversary to Steve A.and who comes back in a later, Season 3 Episode which was not quite as good as the first episode shown here. "Return of the Robot Maker" features the...
Great Season!
Ok, Season 2 of SMDM is here! On June 5, 2012 Best Buy Released Season 2 on their shelves for $32.99! So if you want it BEFORE Octocber 2, 2012, go to Best Buy right now!
As to Season 2 itself, this was when the SMDM really started taking off. The Bionic Sounds became part of the show here on out. The Seven Million Dollar Man is one episode I will always remember.
Also included on this set is the 2-part introduction to the Bionic Woman.
And I also like the Steve Austin Fugitive Episode..
This Season 2 set is almost EXACT to the Time Life Season 2 set. It is missing the booklet linear notes but thats it. All the same content is here..
Quality of the set is great. You will never see the SMDM better than this!
Better, Stronger, Faster ....at speeds exceeding 60 M.P.H.
I can't get over how good this show was for it's time. Before I became a Trekker, I watched this show each and every week for it's five year run. The Seven Million Dollar Man episode was the best one of the bunch. Monte Markam portrayed Barney Miller (no, not the police captain from another show). A race car driver who almost died on the race track. He proved to be stonger than Steve Austin but very much unable to handle the bionics. I could go on for a few hours on how much this show became a part of my life. If you like 70's sci fi, this is the best of the bunch. The Six Million Dollar Man has to be one of the best shows ever. I don't know how this show could be updated. However it represented good values and morals just like the original Star Trek did in the 1960's.
