 Show 5.0 out of 5 stars Sci-Fi-Action-Adventure-Romance SPECTACULAR!!! First, this will be a LONG review, so be warned, this is for DIE HARD fans, and let me start by recommending that you go ahead and plan on buying The Bionic Woman boxed set along with this one - you can't go wrong, and they compliment each other brilliantly - but even if you don't, this set has a few key Bionic Woman episodes AND all three reunion movies, so... it ALMOST feels complete without the Bionic Woman set. That said however, its better if you have both, and this will be a review of the key episodes from BOTH series.Before I list the essential episodes though, be warned that its not a PERFECT series. Nostalgia made me forget some of the clunkier elements - it was made in an era before cable, dvd, and blu ray, when broadcast over the airwaves meant that the signal degradation was often so bad that you couldn't see the stunt men's faces, etc; a time when "home video" was called "re-runs", and its definitely a product of its time. That said, its still good enough, fun enough, interesting and well-written enough to hold your attention today, even with clunks and all - a great "family friendly" show that might alienate more cynical Millennials, but will have grandma and grandpa cheering for sure.ESSENTIALS: The three "pilot" movies. The first stand-alone movie-of-the-week is an adaptation of Martin Caidin's novel Cyborg, and by today's standards, is a little slow, having none of the sha-na-na-na-na razzle dazzle that became so iconic later on in the weekly series. However, its a showcase for Lee Majors acting talent, as well as for the vast potential the concept of a bionic man in a spy-adventure formula had. Darren McGavin is GREAT as Oliver Spencer, the surprisingly cynical precursor to Oscar Goldman. The second and third movies-of-the-week were made by none other than Battlestar Galactica's Glen A. Larson, who not necessarily for the better, tried to cash in on the popular 007 zeitgeist of the time. Lee Majors wasn't comfortable in a tuxedo (and it shows), and they retconned a few things from the first film without explanation, such as replacing Oliver Spencer with Oscar Goldman. No explanation, not even real continuity. Goldman was simply added to be less sinister and more likeable than Spencer. Dr. Rudy Wells was also recast (the second of three actors who would play Rudy), and though they're a bit more violent than the series that would follow, they're still well worth a watch to see how the formula COULD have gone, and to see what elements they got right.The 1st Season was an instant hit. Veteran producer Harve Bennett (The Mod Squad) recognized Lee Majors' appeal as a kind of "western" guy, and ditched the tuxedos for toothpicks and a more folksy, down-home flavor. He also knew how to keep all the action and intrigue of a good science-oriented spy-caper series, while still telling stories about people. The result was an instantly iconic smash hit, aided in no small part by Oliver Nelson's iconic jazz score. These are the episodes I feel are essential, listed in the order I prefer watching them:Population: ZeroThe Last of the Fourth of JulysSurvival of the FittestDr. Wells is MissingEyewitness to MurderThe Rescue of Athena OneDay of the RobotSeason 2 continued the iconic, highly entertaining formula that was so successful in Season 1, but towards the end saw the introduction of romantic foil for Steve who would out-class his many other on screen romances, and alter the DNA of the series. Writer Kenneth Johnson (who went on to create The Bionic Woman series, The Incredible Hulk, V: The Miniseries, and Alien Nation: The Series), was responsible for the introduction of the iconic "bride of Frankenstein" 2-parter "The Bionic Woman" that launched Lindsay Waggoner into the same level of stardom as Lee Majors. The 2-part episode was so well received, that Lindsay Waggoner received her own series as a mid-season replacement during the airing of the third season of The Six Million Dollar Man.The Deadly ReplayThe PioneersThe Pal-Mir EscortNuclear AlertThe Seven Million Dollar Man (Introduction of SECOND Bionic Man)Return of the Robot MakerThe Bionic Woman 1 & 2Steve Austin, Fugitive (Introduction of Oscar's Secretary, Peggy Callahan)Target in the Sky (a 3rd Season episode that I'd recommend here to give Steve some down time between Bionic Woman episodes)The Six Million Dollar Man peaked with Season 3. While Seasons 4 and 5 are still worth watching and seem littered with great episodes and crossover events, this was (for me) the high water mark for the series. Not only had the producers gotten the formula down to a science, but they started running The Bionic Woman concurrently during this season, with many "surprise" cameos between the two, giving audiences a double-dose of bionic action almost every week. I've put asterisks next to the essential episodes of The Bionic Woman series, of which only Kill Oscar 1-3 is featured on the Six Mil Man boxed set collection.The Return of the Bionic Woman 1 & 2The Price of LibertyThe Bionic CriminalWelcome Home, Jaime 1 & 2* (technically the first two episodes of The Bionic Woman) Jaime’s Mother* The Jailing of Jaime*The Deadly Test Angel of Mercy* A Thing of the Past*Love Song for Tanya Bionic Beauty*The Secret of Bigfoot 1 & 2 Mirror Image* The Deadly Missiles*Season 4 toned down the cameos between the two highly popular action-adventure shows, but doubled-down on the crossover "event" episodes. Lee Majors decided to grow a moustache this season, which didn't go over that well with ALL the fans, but... its not THAT distracting, and while some people felt that the moustache, and the introduction of the more epic, sci-fi elements like Bigfoot and the Fembots ultimately derailed the series, I thought they made for some of the most memorable, iconic, and fun moments.The Thunderbird Connection 1 & 2The Return of Bigfoot 1 & 2Kill Oscar 1-3 The Deadly Ringer 1 & 2* Doomsday is Tomorrow 1 & 2*Season 5 was the last. The moustache vanished, and in its place Lee Majors got a new wavy-haired "perm" look. It was a bit Shatner-esque, but it beat the moustache in my opinion. Season 5 was, quite sadly, devoid of Jaime Sommers, and again, in my opinion, more than Bigfoot or aliens or any other factor, the loss of that "heart" killed both series. The network cancelled The Bionic Woman after two seasons, and instead of adding her character to The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman was picked up for one more season on another channel. That was great for Lindsay Waggoner and the fans of her series (which was getting higher ratings than Six Mil at that point), but the legalities of the move prevented any further crossovers. Thankfully, Oscar Goldman and Rudy Wells WERE allowed to jump back and forth, but in my opinion, it marked the beginning of the end. Six Mil began to rely on "epic" 2-parters that weren't as epic or classic as the first few seasons. These episodes are worth a watch, but Star Wars had arrived in theaters, and the era of audiences forgiving "cheap" sci-fi was coming quickly to an end.Sharks 1 & 2 The Bionic Dog 1 & 2*Deadly Countdown 1 & 2Bigfoot VDark Side of the Moon 1 & 2 Fembots in Las Vegas 1 & 2* The Antidote* On the Run*And then, nine years after both series were cancelled, there were the Bionic Reunion TV movies. These were must-see events for long-time fans who wanted (or even NEEDED) some closure, and although they weren't perfect either, they were pretty good, and prove satisfying enough for fans of both series. Be warned though, like the series, the reunion movies peaked early, and stumbled across the finish line not a moment too soon.The Return of the Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman is a mini-epic written and produced by The Equalizer's Michael Sloan, who updated the OSI for a more modern world a bit, and skillfully proved that these characters and the actors who portrayed them still had it. This film connected well with the previous series, and deftly balanced the effort to start a new weekly show with new characters like Michael Austin and Jim Castillian (played by Lee Majors son, Lee Majors II). The special fx were hit and miss, and the jazzy drums of Oliver Nelson were replaced by some painfully cheesy 80's pop music, but the beats of the main theme and the snazzy saxophone of Marvin Hamlish (For Your Eyes Only) proved romantic enough and action-y enough to deliver an extremely satisfying (if cheezy), highly nostalgic and smile-inducing bionic bonanza. It didn't reignite the original series' former popularity, but it was the best of the reunion films, and had they ended it here, it would've been a satisfying-enough coda.Thankfully, die hard fans got more (for better and worse). Bionic Showdown was the second TV reunion movie that inexplicably ditched Steve's new bionic son, Michael Austin, and served as a backdoor pilot for a young Sandra Bullock's Kate Mason character, who just became bionic. This one isn't bad... but it doesn't balance the new with the old nearly as well. Rocky's Bill Conti did the music, but it wasn't particularly memorable. Lee Majors and Lindsay Waggoner bookend the story, but Sandra Bullock and Jeff Yagher have to hold up the middle, and while they're not necessarily BAD... you end up wondering where the hell Steve and Jaime are half the time. Its a solid spy yarn though, with some decent twists, and Richard Anderson gets to chew some scenery as Oscar Goldman for once, but the film is brought down even more by the introduction of a really bad bionic blur effect that just... doesn't work. It's worth a look for both fans of the old series and Sandra Bullock lovers, but... thankfully, there would be one more attempt to salvage what was left of these iconic characters.Bionic Ever After? is the third and final episode in the form of a TV movie. On the plus side, its TOTALLY Steve and Jaime-centric. No bionic kids. It feels like a classic episode, albeit written by The Equalizer's Michael Sloan (who wrote and produced all three reunion films, tending to make them a bit edgier and more cynical than the original series for better and worse). My only real complaint is the score by Ron Ramin, which simply failed to evoke the proper spirit. This one gets by on a nostalgic story about Steve, Oscar, and Jaime, and finally sees the central, star-crossed, often ill-fated lovers finally making good on a few decades' worth of innuendo. Its a satisfying end, but not a moment too soon.Overall, two great series with two great boxed sets, each with enough great extras to make them worth the purchase price. I would love to see a proper remake, but not an improper one. Like Star Trek, this old series has a very specific formula, and I'd hate to see it revamped "in name only". Probably inevitable, but from concept to formula to zeigeist to old age, this is where you can find the one and only original Six Million Dollar Man. A VERY satisfied customer is what I am. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy the show as much as I. Reviews with imagesTop reviews from the United StatesThere was a problem filtering reviews right now.

In today's entertainment the bad guys/girls win way to much. Steve Austin and Rudy Wells are a great team with an entertaining chemistry. And their characters stay the same throughout, I like that.🌷 Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2022 Bought as a gift, recipient has not yet received. Good price, fast delivery. Very satisfied with purchase Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2022 I love the Six Millions Dollar Man. His bionic abilities keep the show adventurous with a superhuman aspect. Lee Majors is excellent as the Six Millions Dollar Man; he's adventurous, handsome, and funny. Also, Richard Anderson is amazing as Steve's boss. I can't wait to see more episodes in this series! This complete set comes with all the episodes plus the reunion films with Steve and Jamie Sommers (the Bionic Woman). Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2021 This is one of the best looking Blu ray TV Series box sets I have seen yet. It is from Germany but has the English DTS HD Master Stereo audio as well as the German HD Master audio as well. There are an average 10 episodes per disc which are 50GB each and how they did the conversion process to have this many on one disc and still look absolutely brilliant with "zero" compression visible is a feat to wonder. The picture transfer from the original film negatives is Stunning!!! Also when you see signs or names in English during each feature there is no annoying hard coded caption overlay in German. The packaging is wonderful and nicely made with a lidded box to hold the 2 cases of Blu rays with black foam insert for protection between the discs. No money was held back when they made this boxset, it is put together to last many, many years , nothing looks or feels cheap at all about this set. Comes with a nice thick booklet that describes each episode (in German) but can be easily be translated with google translator app or equivalent. WELL WORTH THE PRICE THIS SET LOOKS AWESOME!!!!! Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2018 After many years I finally ordered the Six Mill Series after waiting for the right price. I had Season One individually but so glad I waited til now to get the Universal produced Complete Series. The Bionic Woman Universal release Complete Series Set looks HD quality, no. Joke. Still, I highly recommend it for Bionic Fans of course. It's a wonderful Series and the best Set there is so far but I do hope both Series make it to HD Blu-Ray or 4K sometime soon cause I'd definetly buy both again! The Six Million Dollar Man The Complete Series is a wonderful Set and definetly worth The $60.00.

All Five seasons of Austin's incredible adventures are now available in stunning High Definition be it a German import release. personally There are some really good points for This collection which is surely The remastered Blu-ray prints They are simply Gorgeous from The classic opening credits you will be hooked on This series all over again. I do own The UK DVD release of The series and like Steve Austin's super speed This release leaves your DVDs far behind. A staggering Ten episodes per Disc feature on The Blu-ray and perhaps This is were The collection as a few little bad points. I presume to fit say Ten episodes per Disc we are loosing some edits Towards The end of The episodes simply They are slightly shortened. Die Hard fans of The series like myself know These episodes inside out. There only minor little Trims and if you were not familiar with The episodes Themselves you really wouldn't notice it. unlike The DVD releases from what I can tell there does not appear to be any Extras for The collection. Though my past experience with foreign import releases if They were They would probably be as in This case in German. which brings us onto The Discs main menus a simple click To English plays your Discs in just That. an informative episode guide booklet while in German retains The English Titles for The episodes so you can still Tell which Disc your favourite episode is on. Despite The plus and Negative sides for This release I would still Highly recommend it until an official English release comes along Though I won't be given up my DVDs of The series just yet. you will be purchasing This collection simply for The upgrade and it is one remarkable upgrade That said if your a die hard fan of the show The cuts to The episodes are a slight put off and needs To be Taking in view before you purchase That would really be my only advice on opting To purchase This release. Dr. Sebastian Knuckledick 5.0 out of 5 stars Great 70s entertainment that has aged far better than me. "We can't rebuild him!" Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 15, 2019 I loved this tremendous series as a kid in the 70s and I'm loving it all over again as an adult. My partner and I try to make time for an episode every Saturday morning, and to think that there are 100 episodes and lots of extras totalling approximately 17 hours is one hell of a treat. I managed to pick this up on Amazon 'used like new' for £55 and boy what a bargain that was! Mine came in a sturdy card box (as seen in the image) which features 6 large, really solid DVD cases with the many DVDs in each mounted safely on clips. The first five cases contain dozens of DVDs for series 1-5 whilst the sixth case contains DVDs of bonus features of which there are plenty. Each case also features a nice colour booklet. I really feel for those who got saddled with versions of this collection featuring the DVDs slapped on top of each other on spindles. That is simply not good enough! If you get the decent version with the nice quality cases then it really is everything fans of this series could hope for. BTW, picture and sound quality are very good throughout which I am delighted with. Very highly recommended!
4.0 out of 5 stars Steve Austin in Glorious Full HD! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 6, 2020 As you may or may not be aware, The Six Million Dollar Man has only been released on BluRay in
Germany (this set). Every other country has to put up with old, DVD quality releases, and that is the first thing you notice - the quality! There is one more omission - The crossover episodes with ‘The Bionic Woman’ are a bit muddled. Apart from those minor issues, this is a very well put together, if slightly basic, set. There is a nicely constructed accompanying booklet (printed on glossy, heavyweight paper) which lists the episodes for each disc along with a brief resumé of each one (this is all in German, but it does also give the English title of each
episode). All things considered; this is a set well worth buying. What you will mostly be doing is watching the episodes, and the quality of the ones here greatly enhances the viewing experience. 5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT PRESENTATIONAL BOX Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 11, 2021 Having watched this series when it was first aired in the 70s, it was so good to see it again. When you buy this box set, you are presented with the set packaged in a sturdy cardboard box shrink wrapped. The top of the box is opened by lifting the black tab. Upon opening the top, you are then presented with six individual DVD polyboxes, Series 1 with the 3 pilot movies, 2, 3, 4, 5 & the last box featuring bonus material. By pulling on a black internal tab, this allows easy access to the first polybox, and subsequent boxes. The first thing i will say is the first 3 movies DO NOT have any of the sound effects we were to get accustomed to during the series run. The first movie does not feature Oscar Goldman (richard anderson) either, his first appearance is in pilot movie 2, although i don't think it really matters. Now the exciting bit (for me anyway) Series 1 starts with the familiar voice over "gentlemen, we can rebuild him & the start of the sound effects" magic. and series 1 also features some of the incidental music we came to love. That's it for now. I may come back and update this after have watched it, but for now i am very happy with this set so far. Great Value. If you love 70s TV, this is up there. 5.0 out of 5
