Rewatching Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman for the first time since childhood
Posted by BigAppleTiger on 2/10/26 at 3:31 pm
This was one of my favorite memories of childhood television. Barely old enough to remember watching the original shows but remember the big ones like the Bigfoot saga, the Fembots, and the Seven Million Dollar Man Barney. This show was way ahead of its time for Sci=Fi just like Star Trek was. Who didn't run slow motion and make the bionic sounds when slo-mo fighting with your friends? But I always wondered why they didn't use more of the clip of him running fast in real time (sped up on film) like they did on the intro.
This came up in my feed on youtube and even though it is looped the remade music is banging and it's a great two minute watch. I wish they could remake this with respect and the spirit of the original, but modern remakes don't have a great track record. The Bionic Woman attempt really sucked, but that was due to really bad casting for the lead for the most part. Still one of the best tv shows ever. Lee Majors was great when he played Steve Austin seriously.

It took me three tries to make it through Season 1 over a 3 year period. I'm about to finish Season 4 tonight. I think finishing Season 2 was the point where I had to stop trying and it became really enjoyable. Still not living up to the hype that everyone says IMO but still a high quality show.

People leave the expensive most populated areas to move to the cheaper less in demand areas in times of inflation and rising prices. Now this is shocking news!

One question that never got answered was how did Val know all of that stuff and how to drive like that?
Didn't explain that but they showed she could drive and had a badass muscle car when she tore out of Mamoa's place after she packed and left him. As to the banking stuff she said she managed a bank as her job.

You realize they have private insurance and private hospitals in the UK as well. Its the same thing as the difference between social security and an IRA. No law against paying for better healthcare.

Watched it last night. There were a few fun moments. Mamoa is pretty much himself and is the lead. Bautista did a good job of being the more serious foil. Morena Baccarin was limited but as good as always. The kid from Spiderman and Temuera Morrison also limited but decent.
There were some good action scenes but a lot of Bautista fights looked too choreographed. The one man takes on a group shots were kind of laughable. It could have been better and it could have been worse. A decent watch but not much more. It felt like they spent a lot of money but still somehow seemed a bit cheap.

quite honestly all their food is pretty good. Lots of choices for prepared food and sandwiches. I haven't stayed in the Quarter for a few years, but when I did airbnb a place for a week or two you couldn't beat it after coming home late at night with the 24 hour delivery. I really liked their Oyster PB as well as All that Jazz.

I will never understand why police departments are not equipped with tranquilizer guns to take care of these situations. They can bring a Rhino or Lion down with one- why not use them in these situations where people have no firearms.

not judging either way as sci-fi stuff has never been my thing but star trek has ALWAYS been like this.
Yes Star Trek has always been about inclusiveness and society getting beyond base human emotions of fear, bigotry, greed, and crime. But it has also been about intelligent and thoughtful writing with some reverence to the human pursuit of ideals and growth. So far this show has not delivered upon the original intent of Star Trek IMO. I don't think it takes itself seriously enough. It has an air of cheapness of thought to it- the irreverence was always the side dish not the main course. Just my opinion.

No worries. The engine looks pretty clean on the one pictured on ebay as well. I'd size up the tires and who knows what else might need doing once you actually get inside and drive it- but at 32k it seems like a good deal on the surface Been there for a few months.

I beg to differ.
32k on Ebay currently
The corvette I pictured is also currently for sale on ebay for 35k
The jaguar is admittedly 46.5k. You got me!
