Bionic Woman

LEE MAJORS may have been your original Six Million shyster, but the sublime LINDSAY “ROBERT! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!” WAGNER was our “girl” (Jaime Sommers) for this CIA “we have the spin-off technology” actionfest. Lifted up a VW. Did that funny “cling-ing-ing-ing-ing” sound in slow motion. Episodes include “The Martians Are Coming”, “Motorcycle Boogie” and “Fembots in Las Vegas”. Thrykaaah!

    Briefly remade with Michelle Ryan, but clobbered by low ratings & a screenwriters strike.

    I seem to remember an episode where Jaime had an allergic reaction to the bionics and was in hospital, causing Lee Majors to SING a horrid song that went something like ♪Jaime, I love-ah you…♫ over a proto-MTV collage of slow-motion clips.

    Didn’t one episode feature a bionic dog? My memory keeps informing me that the dog would jump fifty feet into the air to catch thrown frisbees in its mouth.

    There was a dog called Max that could do stunts like jump over tall fences. I think by then, the whole thing was getting silly and the series was cancelled.
