I suspect with the new TV series The Bionic Woman airing next season that it may renew intrest in the old original Lee Majors show. Wouldn't surprise me to see a DVD release by next year. As for the movie remake, I seem to remember reading somewhere that there were plans to do just that. I think a comedian was attached (Jim Carrey??) Haven't heard much about it lately. Cromwell

May 29 07 8:27 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I believe both The Six Million Dolar Man and The Bionic Woman series were released in the UK on VHS (and maybe DVD?). In fact, I have a VHS dupe of The Six Million Dollar Man episode "The Secret Of Bigfoot" which has the UK VHS art scanned and printed as a cover. I loved the show as a kid (I had the action figure with the see-through head/bionic eye!). My favorites were the three Bigfoot episodes, all of which I have on DVD-r (scored on e-Bay). I still get chills when I watch the intro to the show. "Gentlemen, we can rebuild him..."

Looks like this is alive again, with an even lower budget: "The $40,000 Man"

Clearly from a vhs or DVD source - probably vhs - as there is no editing of commercials and it is fairly clean. I am pretty sure it has not been released in America - certainly not on DVD, but vhs - I have no clue. Darren McGavin is in the pilot episode. I haven't been too impressed with the series, so his guest appearance has been the highlight of the series to me.

Mar 14 08 3:27 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I watched the pilot movie (edited into two episodes as THE MOON AND THE DESERT Parts I & II) that comes with the UK (Region 2 PAL) DVD set. Excellent TV movie Darren McGavin was awesome as usually I actually had never seen the pilot before either as a movie or broken up into two episodes so I was surprise to see Martin Balsam (PSYCHO) and Barbara Anderson (IRONSIDE) here I already knew about McGavin involvement and had wanted to see it for years and finally did it even though I bought set several months ago. I also bought Season two and the first two of BIONIC WOMAN and will start trying to catch with these two wonderful series that I haven't seen much from them since my childhood. Luis

I was in Amoeba this week and picked up two Universal/ Playback PAL DVDs of Six Million Dollar Man episodes. One volume had The Secret Of Bigfoot & The Seven Million Dollar Man. Vol 2 had all the Henry Jones, Dr. Dolenz Robot episodes. They were $2.99 each. GREG ESPINOZA I made it possible for you to come here!

Mar 14 08 7:15 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Last year, after reading one of Rakshasa's posts about the Bigfoot episode (in one of the 60s and 70s Bigfoot folders), I went and ordered the complete SMDM series (on DVD-R, no less) for $100 plus shipping.� I had brought the series with me while working out of town.� Got through the first two and a half seasons or so, then the show lost a lot of its appeal....The pilot episode is still the best!!� There are quite a few good ones in the first two seasons as well.�� I still have to watch the rest....

Speaking of money not being worth what it once was, anybody remember this gem? The process is reversing itself!

Now I'm glad I already bought the Region 2 sets of both of these shows but I'm just if anybody knows when will season III for both of them be getting released? In the meantime I've catching up with the first season st of the SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN so far my favorite exculding the Pilot episodes is "Day Of The Robot" with John Saxon.

Mar 18 08 3:07 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hey Rak! Well, these days, 17 pounds is close to between $33 and $34 bucks! (and that's probably not including shipping) Still tempting... Bryan

Mar 18 08 3:42 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	You guys may also want to keep your eyes out for them at both EBAY and Amazon.com (US) as the sets can occasionally be cheaper than paying high overseas shipping from Amazon.uk, in fact the BIONIC WOMAN Season one is currently selling fairly cheap in the low $30s from third parties at Amazon.com.
