The Six Million Dollar Man: Season 2 [DVD]

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 return of Dr. Chester Dolenz, this time creating a Robot "Oscar" with a strong story to complement Season One's "Day of the Robot". Both the Robot and this story is an improvement over the originals in each case... Lee Majors Wife at the time, Farrah Fawcett shows up in "The Peeping Blonde", complete with her Charley's Angels Hairdo in tact and this was one of three separate roles she played on the show during its run. "The Deadly Replay" puts Steve Austin back in the experimental flight craft that nearly killed him the first time around so we get some closure as well as some additional story line on that aspect of the series. There are also some episodes that showcase Steve A. in out of country scenarios such as in Ireland in "Outrage in Balinderry" and in the South Pacific ("The Last Kamikaze") The last episode in the Season is another fine episode "Steve Austin, Fugitive", which also introduces the great character of Peggy Callahan, Oscar Goldman's Secretary, who would go on to become a semi-regular on both the SMD and Bionic Woman Series in this same role.Speaking of "The Bionic Woman", Season 2 even has the two part story introducing the great Lindsay Wagner as Jaime Sommers so by now, I think you get the picture of why this series in particular contains the most of the basic elements of "Bionic Education" in one package.In other words, You simply cannot go wrong with Season Two!

This dvd is totally awesome.

I wish they still made TV series like today. Lots od adventure and worth watching Great Tv series. Highly recommend. Thanks

A favorite of mine when I was growing up. Steve Austin represented the possibilities of the future. An astronaut and test pilot, which are truly heroic professions in themselves, Steve is still a down to earth guy. Coping with memories of his horrific accident while adjusting to his powerful replacement parts takes us along a path mimicking nearly every comic book hero. Lee Majors brings out the humanity in Steve as he wonders whether the $6 Mil price tag bought the Office of Scientific Intelligence his body, soul or both. Feeling used comes with the job. Occasionally letting his guard down around civilians, they fear him just like today's comic book Mutants are feared, making Steve feel like a freak. Richard Anderson is super as Oscar Goldman, OSI Director, Steve's boss. A realistic contradiction of Patriot and Spy, Oscar plays puppeteer using Steve for critically necessary missions of National Security while painfully aware of the effects on a man he calls "friend".

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.

The story lines aren't bad, real action as opposed to CGI and doesn't rely on constant explosions and unreal car chases to be entertaining.

I love the Six Million Dollar Man. I was raised watching this TV show. My special needs daughter and I watch him all the time. I gave her this for Christmas. Thanks so much.

I've always have like this show Its one of my favorites and still is I wish they would make more show's like this now. It brings back a lot of fun and good memories. I think everyone who has watch this show at some point wish they could run at 60 miles an hour and left cars and jump to extreme height. It just look like a lot of fun. And know that you could make a difference, in getting the bad guys. I've always have like Lee Majors I think he's a pretty level headed guy.and down to earth type. And seems to be a pretty nice person. From what I have read. and heard. Hope he is doing well.Good Actor.
