Product Description
Grievously injured in the crash of an experimental aircraft, Colonel Steve Austin's shattered body is covertly rebuilt via the miracle of modern science known as bionics. Equipped with atomic-powered limbs that make him "better, stronger, faster" than the average mortal, Austin (Lee Majors) can now run at speeds exceeding 60 miles per hour, overturn cars with ease, and spot an encroaching enemy from over a mile away. Under the watchful eye of OSI director Oscar Goldman (Richard Anderson), Steve repays his debt to the taxpayers by taking on perilous missions of a highly classified nature. Season 1 chronicles Steve Austin's amazing metamorphosis from "a man barely alive" to cyborg to patriotic superspy. Armed with futuristic abilities, Austin is dispatched to do battle with kidnappers, arms smugglers, evil scientists, political assassins, and a diabolical robot—with time enough to spare to counsel a troubled astronaut (William Shatner) and clear his dead father's name. Relive the thrill of Steve's first bionic run in this digitally remastered 6-DVD set featuring 13 uncut episodes; all three made-for-TV movies in their original, unedited versions; and over two hours of never-before-seen bonus materials!

But back to the series and season one. I can actually recall seeing commercial advertising for the series premiere, although I have no memory of there being 3 pilot episodes. The first pilot - aptly titled "The Six Million Dollar Man" - is without a doubt my favorite of the 3 as well as my favorite episode of season 1. Even if this series had never materialized beyond the initial pilot movie (I'm so thankful it did though), the original pilot movie could easily stand on it's own as a wonderful, engaging and very unique t.v. movie. I had forgotten that Richard Anderson and the Oscar Goldman character were not featured in this first pilot; so glad he showed up in the second as I loved the character of Oscar Goldman as much as I loved Steve Austin. In this initial pilot we see an ordinary man - with an extraordinary job (astronaut) - doing what he loves to do and ending up in what could only be described as a nightmarish freak accident. Colonel Austin loses his right arm in the crash, along with his left eye and both legs that are too badly damaged to salvage. When he eventually regains consciousness and is told by Dr Rudy Wells the extent of his injuries my heart breaks for the young pilot. Lee Majors realistically portrays the emotions of a man whose life is now changed forever. While lying helplessly in a hospital bed, Steve is heartbroken, depressed and even attempts suicide. Lee's performance is so convincing that I was literally tearing up as I watched a pilot I had not seen since 1973. Lee continues to give a brilliant and convincing performance as a man who eventually accepts his fate, agrees to the bionic surgery and slowly regains his life. We watch Steve Austin passionately struggle to use his arm and legs the way a baby first learns to grasp objects and walk. Soon afterwards he is confronted by a government agency that has not only funded his $6,000,000 surgery but is now expecting payback in the form of expecting Colonel Austin to become a government special agent. We see Steve Austin struggle with yet another life-changing decision as he tells the man "I don't want to kill anyone." So ladies .... he's not only an extremely handsome man, with a sense of humor and pleasant manner, who has been to hell and back - but also a man with high morals .... what more can any of us ask for, right? Ha!
The 2nd and 3rd pilots are entertaining in their own way, both with a James Bond theme. Surpass it to say that this is not exactly the direction that the creators of the original pilot wanted the series to take, and hence after the 3rd pilot there is a noticeable change in the show's overall style. Gone is Steve Austin as James Bond; now it's Steve Austin as the astronaut turned government agent we came to initially know in the first pilot movie. There are 13 FUN episodes, in addition to the 3 movies. It's difficult to select a favorite episode or two, but if I had to choose I'd probably say "Population Zero" and "Dr Wells is Missing" would be at the top of my list. Even though Lee was initially worried that the series might prove to be too campy (ala the very campy Batman series), the camp factor for "The Six Million Dollar Man" was minimal compared with Batman. O.K., so in two of season 1 episodes we are asked to believe that a mad scientist can create robots that look and act human (Day of the Robot and Run Steve Run), but the remaining episodes are less campy. All of the episodes are FUN to watch. Looking forward to adding the rest of the series to my DVD collection. I have season 2 and am getting ready for the release of season 3 (next week) - Yahoo!!!!!!!!!
Long Live Steve Austin and Long Live The Six Million Dollar Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unlike other superheroes, Steven Austin was a mere mortal man, and the bionic limbs and eye that would not only save his life but make him "better, stronger, faster" than before was a technology that seemed possible!
I remember, in my naivete as a 10-year-old kid, asking my dad if I could have the operation that Steve had, even though my limbs and organs functioned relatively perfectly, so that, in my then scrawny frame, I could have and enjoy those bionic powers, and defend myself against bigger kids who were picking on me in school. Of course, my dad's reply was: "It's just a TV show, Mike. That technology doesn't really exist." It was so ironic to hear, on one of the supplemental disc's documentaries, that actor Lee Majors, who played the show's iconic hero, as well as members of the production team, get asked that same question all the time from amputees!
Here we get all three ABC movies of the week, followed by all the season 1 episodes. There's not much I can add to the other excellent reviews here, except to say that it's amusing to hear how the show's opening title montage and theme song went through a major overhaul from TV Movie 3 to Episode One of the series, when Executive Producer Harve Benett, who would later produce many of the Star Trek movies, took over, and felt, as I did, that the series needed a new theme song.
With all due credit to Glenn Larson, who would go on to conceive and produce his "little" space epic called Battlestar Galactica, and who here, in addition to co-producing these movies, wrote the music and lyrics for this song, kind of a '60s-era soul song, simply called "Six Million Dollar Man", that has Dusty Springfield singing "He's the MAAAAAN! with backup singers singing 'The Six Million Dollar MAAAAAN!' Catch him if you can, beat him if you can, love him if you CAAAAN...", sorry, Glenn...this song HAD to go. Apparently, Larson felt that his song would help cement Lee Majors as a sex symbol, a sex MACHINE, a sex GOD, for the ladies, and it did, but then-new producer Harve Bennett and the execs at ABC rightly felt, as I do, that, since Steve was in the military, the series needed more of a militaristic sound. Thank God the prevailing theme song was scrapped and was replaced, like Steve's human parts, with the more familiar militaristic drum and percussion-driven theme song, ingeniously composed by Oliver Nelson, who scored TV's Ironside, as well as multiple other shows and movies, that we have now grown to know and love.
It's also interesting to note that the iconic sound-effects, of the bionic arm and legs functioning ("chchchchch"), as well as the impact sound whenever Steve's bionic limbs connect with another object ("boompapapapapa"), are almost totally absent in Season 1! The bionic eye begins to make its telltale mid-range pulsing noise ("boopoopoopoo") about halfway through the season. John Saxon, who would play a robot in the memorable episode, Day of the Robot, who squares off against Steve Austin in hand-to-hand combat, has the honor of being the show's first actor to enjoy having his actions "scored" by the show's first bionic sound-effect. It wouldn't be until Season 2 when producers and ABC execs pulled out all the stops and courageously began using those legendary sound-effects whenever Steve bursts into bionic mode and performs a bionic deed.
Great show! Great set! I particularly enjoyed getting to know the great Harve Bennett, in his extensive behind-the-scenes interview on the bonus disc, as he explains, in great detail, why he made several creative decisions, mainly to take the show away from pure sci-fi and make Steve less of a robot and more human. This was the right decision.
The rich characterizations and satisfying interrelationships between characters, bionic man Steve, OSI chief administrator and mission mastermind Oscar Goldman (played with great warmth and intelligence by Richard Anderson) and OSI scientist who developed and maintains Steve's bionic technology, Dr. Rudy Wells (who would be played by 3 actors) formed a strong bond of love and loyal, devoted family, a family that we welcomed into our own families, a family that we are now able to become embroiled in whenever we fire up our DVD players, a family that continues to endure.
Considering the source material, ABC and MCA/Universal's original master air tapes (going back to the 35mm negatives, if they exist, would yield an even better, stronger look...perhaps, if there's ever a blu-ray release...), the remastered transfers look terrific, even better than I remember this show looking when it first aired on ABC!
Plug in, charge up those bionic power cells, and enjoy.

I PERSONALLY FIND IT ANNOYING THAT IF LIKE ME YOU ALREADY HAVE SERIES ONE AND TWO THEN WE ARE FORCED TO RE BUY THOSE AGAIN. I ALSO HAVE THE SPIN OFF TV MOVIES AS WELL AND I DONT KNOW IF THEY ARE INCLUDED IN THE COMPLETE SET OR NOT.
The Six Million Dollar Man was a popular science fiction show. The show was based on the novel "Cyborg" by Martin Caidin, The title role of Steve Austin was played by Lee Majors. For some people the show was just far fetched nonesence. Some people would even dismiss it as daft. However, the show had one major ingrediant. It was fun. This is science fiction where anything is possible. Where the "what if" thought comes into play. This was a good show that you shouldn't take too seriously. It was meant to be far fetched, fun and entertaining. The world is serious enough so this was great escapism.
The story of the original novel and the later series is the crash of former astronaut Steve Austin as he tests a new craft, Austin is severely injured in the crash and is "rebuilt". His right arm, both legs and left eye are replaced by "bionic" implants that enhance his strength, speed and vision far above human normality.
Caidin's novel was a best-seller when it was published in 1972, and he followed it up with three sequels. Only the plotline from the original novel formed the basis for this first series for Television. In 1973, Cyborg was loosely adapted for the TV movie titled The Six Million Dollar Man: "The Moon And The Desert," starring Majors as Austin. The film, which won an award, modified Caidin's plot, and notably made Austin a civilian astronaut rather than a colonel in the United States Air Force. In this pilot film the story follows reasonably closely to the original book. It is a study of how one man wakes up in hospital seemingly unhurt and gradually finds to his horror that whilst drifting in and out of conciesness he had agreed to be "rebuilt" and now is only half the man he used to be. He struggles with the mental trauma of having an arm and legs that seem normal but are not his own. We see him adapting to the new limbs and his new life. Austin gradually masters the new situation and realises the potential of his strength, speed and sight. He agrees to use these abilities to work for the government. His boss is Oliver Spencer played by Darren McGavin. This first TV movie uses no electronic sound effects or slow motion running that will become the regular features in the later weekly episodes. The scientist involved in implanting Austin's bionic hardware, Dr. Rudy Wells, was played in this pilot movie. by Martin Balsam, then occasionaly in the series by Alan Oppenheimer, and then regularly by Martin E. Brooks.
The first film was a major ratings success. The second TV movie was called The Six Million Dollar Man: "Wine, Women and War" and the third was titled The Six Million Dollar Man: "The Solid Gold Kidnapping. The last two movies, produced by Glen A. Larson, notably introduced a James Bond flavour to the series and reinstated Austin's status from the novels as an Air Force colonel. Confident of success, the actual weekly series of one hour episodes were produced in 1974 and the James Bond-gloss of the second and third movies were replaced with a more down-to-earth Austin. The character Oliver Spencer had also been replaced with Oscar Goldman plyed by Richard Anderson.
This first series on this DVD set is complete. It was a popular series. It had the opening catch phrase "We can rebuild him...we have the technology". Also the show featured the slow-motion action sequences. This was an idea that was copied from another succesful show "Kung Fu" but had the the accompanying "electronic" sound effects. . In one episode Austin investigates what happened to the entire missing population of a town. In another episode he is asigned to protect a missile developer who turns out to be a Robot. He also has to rescue another astronaut from space. The series uses some archive NASA film footage from time to time. The picture and sound are good despite the lack of restoration work. There are only thirteen episodes of the hour long set. But together with the original three TV movies this makes a good set
