  5. Just finished reading Cyborg by Martin Caidin — the novel that inspired The Six Million Dollar Man. If you grew up watching Steve Austin leap in slow motion or remember that red jumpsuit action figure with the bionic eye, this one’s for you. From Cold War tension to cutting-edge tech (for its time), the book holds up in fascinating ways. Nostalgia, robotics, and a few surprises along the way. jrogel.com/just-read-cyborg/ #SixMillionDollarMan

  7. Fan theory: When the Six Million Dollar Man does super stuff, the dramatic ch-ch-ch-ch-ch slow-mo noise exists in-universe and can be heard by those around him. However, because they hear it in real time, it sounds like a lawnmower engine. #TV #SciFi #ScienceFiction #SixMillionDollarMan

  9. In a different context a friend pointed me to the trailer of the Six Million Dollar Man: youtube.com/watch?v=9pUaeLtXM_

    My thought: In the current state of the U.S. healthcare system this would barely suffice for an ambulance and a dose of Aspirin.

  11. Je kunt ook kunst maken met dat ding.Een muurtje, ergens in de verte. Geen idee waar, want mijn ogen zijn niet telescopisch noch bionisch #seestars50 #sixmilliondollarman

  12. Rather amused to find that the Six Million Dollar Man once made a full on assault on the (old) Thousand Oaks City Hall and its machine gun emplacements. #SixMillionDollarMan #movie #ConejoValley #ThousandOaks #VenturaCounty

  14. @aRqGaMo #ninobonocore non me lo sono mai cagato, sono sincero.

    Tranne questa canzone, IMHO bellissima (ma forse perché l'associo alla serie tv che adoravo), scelta come sigla italiana de #sixmilliondollarman #luomodaseimilionididollari

    Ricordo quella "r moscia" davvero singolare, oltre ad avere una voce "altissima" (nel senso di acuta)

  16. My dad was always confused about why the six million dollar man would slow down when he was running fast. 🤔

  17. In #Italia molti alla fine degli anni 80 lo ricorderanno come #IRagazzidelComputer :

    #WhizKids è stata una serie TV che ha fatto epoca, io ne ero innamorato e forse mi sono avvicinato all'informatica anche grazie a lei (insieme a #WarGames).
    Molti non sanno che in alcune puntate ci sono dei camei di altri attori famosi di altre serie, come #Simon&Simon oppure #OscarGoldman de #sixmilliondollarman che fa il cattivo (#RichardAnderson)

  18. Watched the #SixMillionDollarMan TV movie from 1987 yesterday. It was obviously supposed to test the waters for a new series featuring the son as new cyborg. For that, the movie was weirdly obsessed with endless dialogue about things which happened to the "older generation" in the series years earlier. Not how you attract new audiences. A strangely unfocussed and undecided hodgepodge with essentially no stringent plot, no threat, an unused #MartinLandau ... No wonder this didn't take off!

  19. When Bigfoot became an alien (around 1973)

    Talk about a flashback! In my latest podcast interview with Jason Colavito, we are discussing the alien-Bigfoot connection (in the context of Bigfoot as Nephilim) when Jason mentions the TV series Six Million Dollar Man that featured Bigfoot as a recurring character in four episodes, and once on the Bionic Woman show from 1976 to 1977.

    The Secret of Bigfoot (part 1) aired on February 1, 1976. I was 5 years old, so I likely did not watch this but I do have a strong recollection of seeing these shows and being rather frightened by the Bigfoot character – he was huge and had a look very similar to the Patterson-Gimlin film Bigfoot (“Patty”). In fact, other than the lack of breasts, this Sasquatch suit fit pretty well in comparison to Patty. The head and face are always the hardest to make authentic-looking. This TV bigfoot featured creepy eyes and appeared roaring out of the shadows, giving me a serious case of the willies. Already obsessed with monsters, I loved it anyway.

    Bigfoot (Andre the Giant) and Lee Majors as the Six Million Dollar Man. The storyline ended with the two becoming friends.

    Check out the YouTube clip here.

    Yep. Bigfoot in the show was an alien cyborg. Head to the Bionic Wiki to see the episode summaries.

    In the podcast episode, Jason remarks that this was certainly the most popular association for Bigfoot as alien, maybe the first proper connection. But an earlier Fortean flap, a series of sightings of both UFOs and Bigfoot-like creatures, was documented by researcher Stan Gordon in Pennsylvania to have occurred from 1973 to 1974. In Stan’s book Silent Invasion: The Pennsylvania UFO-Bigfoot Casebook (2010) we are able to track the reports as they begin with descriptions of lights and UFOs in January of 1973. In early summer, monster creatures reports come in. Some are just of glowing eyes. The UFO reports also continue. By late August 1973, the strangeness evolves, with Bigfoot-like creatures seen in conjunction with UFOs. It’s at this time when people start to assume they may be connected. Creature sighting reports flood in until October. UFO reports continue into 1974. Claimed sightings of both Bigfoot and UFOs come in at a higher than normal rate through the end of 1974. Some of the reports were so strange that they defied normal explanation. That is, the creatures had supernatural elements – glowing green eyes, strange movements, showing no effect from bullets fired at them, and vanishing in front of the witness via a beam of light.

    Local newspapers covered the reports mainly in 1973. The events in western PA were part of a nationwide uptick in UFO reports later called the “wave” or “flap” of 1973. Check out this report on the national news.

    It was very much a time of panic over UFOs for many citizens. Note that this does not mean we actually were being invaded by UFOs, it means many people reported UFOs and investigators did not get to the bottom of all the cases due to a lack of available information. In such cases, people often see what they believe or fear is there, turning mundane objects (like planes and helicopters) into mysterious ones and seeing normal events in an ominous framing. Steven Spielberg developed his script for Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) at this time, supposedly influenced by the news reports of the Great UFO Wave of 1973.

    So far, all these happenings in popular culture at this time point to a convergence of two paranormal ideas – UFOs as alien craft and Bigfoot. As Jason notes, it could very well be that the Bigfoot as Nephilim eventually arose out of the ashes of this Bigfoot-as-alien concept. Bigfoot reports seemed so weird that supernatural creep set it – people required a non-natural explanation to account for their report rather than admit their observations were incorrect.
