<p dir="auto">I loved watching this show when I was a kid and was thinking about revisiting it on DVD. Obviously special effects will leave room for improvement, but how would you rate the writing, production values, and overall entertainment factor?</p>

<p dir="auto">I finished watching the entire series and I would say it holds up pretty well. The bionic sound and the slow motion actually works. I think the first (including the three 90 minute movies) and last seasons are the best. The middle three do have some clunkers, the worst is one where pro football players are involved. The last season boasts some really impressive stuntwork by Lee Majors. In other seasons it was sometimes very obvious a stuntman was used. Not always true in the 5th. And some incredible stories. One two-parter starts on an asteroid, goes back to earth, goes to the dark side of the Moon, all while the Earth is suffering massive weather disasters. It's not exactly theatrical quality but for a 70s tv show it's very daring.<br />
I would give the whole series 8/10.</p>

<p dir="auto">You can never compare a show by today's standards. To many kids it was the greatest show in the world and as I belong to group people who watched it as kids they all seem to still enjoy it very much. I am a Lee Majors fan but I am seeing it for the first time on TV and loving it.</p>

<p dir="auto">The first three seasons to me are pretty good (though the first season was a little slow moving) but the show is somewhat aged. Still it is good fun. I actually am a bigger fan of  The Incredible Hulk when it came to the superhero shows.</p>

<p dir="auto">It's okay, but The Terminator endoskeletons really make the The Six Million Dollar Man androids look a little silly now  especially how those androids looked totally human with the masks on, with a mouth and everything, but when the masks fly off, there's no mouth, nothing resembling teeth, just a speaker amplifier and transistors.</p>

<p dir="auto">It still holds up very well, especially the better episodes. Yes some of the special effects are a little out of date and if the show started in 2014, they would have to call it the 6 BILLION Dollar Man (6 million wouldn't get you much these days lol), but the show holds up well.</p>

<p dir="auto">Storywise, I think it does rather well.  I know when I was doing Netflicks, I would order a disk or two.  My kids enjoyed watching SMDM, Bionic Woman, Kolchak, Emergency, and Wonder Woman from the 70's more than the stuff they put on TV in the late 90's and 00's.  As my kids noticed, there was a story being told that was interesting.  Yes, they were all cheesy in one way or another, but the characters and relationships were more substantial.<br />
We went through 2 dvd players when they were younger because the things were constantly playing.</p>

<p dir="auto">The final season was weak. I loved the show as a kid, but I lost interest during season five.</p>

<p dir="auto">The pilot movie is phenomenal, and most closely follows Caidin's novel.  Even the effects were more realistic as they under-cranked the film to show high speed running etc. (that slow motion crap they went to later was not nearly as effective IMO.)<br />
In the two subsequent tele-films they went to a more James Bond type of theme(as those films were very popular at the time).  When it was picked up as a series i agree that the first season was great. Plotlines were not far fetched and the bionic effects were used sparingly.</p>

<p dir="auto">I'd say the first 2 seasons hold up pretty well, as sci-fi or character-driven stories, then it gets a bit shaky.  The last season is pretty weak.<br />

<p dir="auto">You know Richard I am so sick of people like you. I am sorry you don't like Lee and of course you know nothing about him. First Lee grew a mustache because he like mustaches and liked to change his appearances in different shows.Lee did not an ego he just want to work gave it everything he had and quite truthfully it was not his favorite show it is just the show that made him a star.Doing his own stunts and the tremendous physical toll of this show has resulted in physical problems for the rest of his life. If you are going to criticize someone at least know who the heck the person is you are talking about and don't be a troll as people do not respect trolls</p>

<p dir="auto">I didn't watch the Six Million Dollar Man as much as a kid when it moved to Sundays, plus I remember being rather turned off by Lee Majors wooden acting and there was a bit of an ego there with him as well, which was a total turnoff.<br />
I also recall he grew that moustache to try to give himself personality. Funny how this was a time when if they were gay, they grew a moustache and I think Majors must have been one of the few heteros to grow one.<br />
But that's beside the point.<br />
I'm watching this two-parter with soap actors Robin Mattson, Anthony Geary in a very small part and Jared Martin as an evil alien in some of the most comical makeup I've ever seen, but it really does not look like him at all.<br />
I recall Helen Hunt on Bionic Woman as an alien, but I really thought the show was more sci than fi and this is one of the worst stories I've ever seen. I don't know how many episodes of the Bionic Man there were like this, but I'm hoping not a lot.<br />
I do recall the alien dimensional family one, but that one was good compared to this one.</p>
