It's hard to explain what The Bionic Woman meant to girls when this was on. She was fantastic. She was beautiful, kind, had a career, a dog, a fabulous loft, and all those bionic powers. We couldn't get enough of her. She was our hero. No telling how many of us pretended we could open a can of tuna with our fingernail. She was a practical feminist. Not the man hating feminists of academia. We loved her. Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman too.
I've not seen the series, but I'm guessing that she was also a realistic character with faults and problems, instead of the modern, no issues, completely amazing in every way type characters. It's important to me that my future children, no matter which gender, have good roll models.
+Melanie Daniels She meant a lot to boys too! I remember watching this show when I was a kid and at that age, I didn't understand it from a social or feminist perspective. I just thought it was an awesome, action/adventure, spy show about a hot chick with some really cool bionic powers. The fact that she'd have crossovers with the Six Million Dollar Man (another show I liked) and some great episodes where she was either fighting fembots, or training a bionic dog, or trying to outwit an evil supercomputer, or fending off an alien invasion, this was just really great (although somewhat cheesy) 70's science fiction adventure. Plus, to a 12 year old kid, Jaime was very easy on the eyes, and I'm pretty sure I used to spank it thinking about the bionic woman, lol.
+captainbryce1 Well see....she built bridges......Boys now had a feminist the could spank to LOL... You got to see that us practical feminists do not hate men. Practical feminist: Jamie Sommers. Man hating, leftist feminist of the faculty staff lounge type: Hillary Clinton.
I just want to say I truly love Lindsay Wagner. I had the real pleasure of meeting her at the Nostalgia Convention in Baltimore, MD. She was so nice to me. She is a real class act!
My childhood idol. Man the highlight of my day was watching this show. We had a routine at home. "After Bionic Woman goes off you can eat lunch"!! Man I miss those days
I miss tv before all the reality shows. And Saturday's when cartoons were all that was on. I asked my granddaughter today about the cartoon peppy la pew and she didn't know what I was talking about . So sad.
Whenever I hear “ feminists “ saying that there were no “ strong female characters “ until the likes of Captain Marvel came along,I laugh and think of Jamie Summers and Linda Carter’s Wonder Woman.
Watching this is a painful reminder of how crappy television programming is today. I really enjoyed this show. Lindsey Wagner was terrific and naturally very beautiful. I definitely had a crush on her back in the day. This brings back fond memories from a better time. Thanks for posting.
I was around 10/11 when the series first went out. It's amazing to watch this again for the first time since. I love how the visuals and music go together so well. The part where the music changes from the harsher opening sounds, to seeing her happily in the gym and jogging always struck a chord with me. It was always the talk of the playground the following day!
Wasn't alive when it initially aired, I have since watched every episode on dvd... This opening and the 6 million dollar man are EVERYTHING! Both Themes are strangely moving... In a good way.
Mark Whalberg is bringing The Six Million Dollar Man to the big screen in 2016. If it does well there will be a franchise created which will introduce The Bionic Woman. The film will be gritty. Mark will play Steve Austin a secret service agent working for OSI. They are introducing this new universe to balance the super hero universe. Lets support this film so that we can eventually get a new Bionic Woman film off the ground. You are cute by the way.
Lindsay Wagner first got my attention in a movie called "The Paper Chase" and she also just made a recent appearance as a guest on AMC's COMIC BOOK MEN 11.20.2016 episode
A couple of years ago I broke my ankle playing football.I remember hearing a crunching sound as it gave way.It is the same crunching sound that my heart makes every time I watch the absolutely beautiful,gorgeous Jaime Sommers in action!
I like how she always moved aside her hair to hear with her bionic ear--but seriously, I enjoyed this show and thought it was better than The Six Million Dollar Man. The character Jamie was a sweet person, very likeable and witty. We watched the show as a family every week. If I recall correctly, the pilot or lead-in to the story of her bionics was quite tragic and sad.
This show was so incredible! Watched it as a very little kid in the 80s when they started re-airing it (I thought it originally came out in the 80s until a couple years ago lol). Lindsay Wagner was such an incredible talent and really broke the mold for female action heroines. Jamie Somers was caring, kind, tough, resolute and always made you root for her. Mariska Hargitay, Lucy Lawless, Kyra Sedgwick and so many others owe Lindsay for paving the way
RIP Richard Anderson and Martin E Brooks who played Oscar and Rudy Wells. One of my friends got to meet Lindsay in person and she told me Lindsay is a lot like Jaime in real life as in very sweet and friendly to her fans
wow she looks so genuine, natural, sweet and human, totally different from American women today. TV characters today are plastic, artificial, hollow, soulless, cold and unfeeling. Huge contrast to the woman in this intro.
This comment really sums up my feelings.I can't help but look at Lindsay's awesome beauty and her open manner and generous spirit and feel haunted by an immense sense of loss.America never had a finer champion as the Bionic woman stood for something special.She gave America a sense of destiny,harmony and well being that it has never experienced since.From then on It has been downhill all the way not just for America but the whole world.We are so missing her power to inspire and fill our greying world with light and joy.
The Bionic Woman theme song used to make me very emotional. That whole intro sequence. I remember my sister teasing me mercilessly when she saw me get teary-eyed. It just all seemed so cool and beautiful and possible - look at that amazing, kind and strong lady! And look how they show her strength and also her teaching the kids. No beating up or killing anyone, no boob shots. I wanted a teacher like her so badly!
You're not alone in getting emotional. I don't know if you remember how her first appearance in the Six Million Dollar Man tv show ended (and if you don't, I won't spoil it), but if you ever watch it, you're likely to get plenty emotional. When I saw that episode again in my late 20's just a few years back, I had the strangest visceral reaction to it. I had forgotten how that episode of Six Million Dollar Man had ended and I've never been so unexpectedly moved by a tv show ever. If you can get your hands on the dvd set, check out her very first appearance. Apparently childhood feelings never leave.
***** Look... I TRIED to stop it. I really did! I broke three nails banging on that gym door. And guess who's had the worst High School Reunion parties EVER? I'm just going to go crochet my anger out now.
SueSnellLives! First of all, I love your profile pic and your profile name! Second, you arent the only one who gets weepy eyed when you hear this theme song. I had the METAL Bionic Woman lunchbox in grade school. I wore that thing out, till it was so rusty, my mom wouldn't let me use it anymore. So she got me a PLASTIC Cabbage Patch Kids lunchbox! Blasphemous! I will never get over losing that lunchbox. I think I will get on eBay and see if I can find another one!!
Thank God she wasn't taken from us on May 25, 1979...Lindsay and her mother were at Chicago-O'Hare Airport to fly back to L.A., and they'd booked the flight on American Airlines #191, but at the last minute hesitated then booked a later flight. As were going back to the hotel, Flight #191's left wing engine detached on take-off, tearing open the airliner's hydraulic system...25 seconds later it crashed into a trailer park, killing everyone on board, plus 2 on the ground. Lindsay has only talked about it maybe 5 times in interviews over the years. I remember it so well because it was my birthday, and I and my parents were just leaving Houston when we heard the bulletin on the car radio. I had a big crush on Lindsay back then, and read about her and her mom's close call with the crash only about 10 years ago. (A few years later she was in a car wreck, which explains the scar on her upper lip.)
Even in South Korea, this TV show - titled “Jamie Sommers” in Korea - was so popular along with “The six million dollar man”! I grew up with these TV series and I remember I was looking forward to watching one of these every weekend. It was good old days for sure!
I have watched a lot of shows that bring nostalgia to me now. But THIS opening actually made me CRY! 0.0 I guess when I was a kid, I felt like part of Jamie and Steve's family. : , )
one of he best show to ever be on tv. Brings back so many memories as a little girl. Iloved this show. You cannot re do this show it's original and you can fake it. Tv was so much better back then. Jamie was a strong women but not over the top and cold they way they are now. love the theme to this show
Oh shut up jus Cs she's white wat beauty she ad no beauty but fake bionics the way those moves of hers wa done lassie the dog is a beauty or haven't u heard of him pillark
Wow!! What a wonderful time to have been alive, growing up and watching wholesome entertainment on television throughout the seventies and eighties!!! I really miss those days too!!
Todays plastic heroes have nothing on Steve and Jaime.Where today can you find all the genuine warmth and human emotion they brought to their roles and their relationship?
I was 9 or 10 YO when this started airing here in the uk, and i can't even begin to say just how massive my crush on Jaime Sommers/Lindsay Wagner was!! I imagined that one day, i might even marry her. Lol! Guess what... It never happened! *Sigh!* This brings back happy memories of childhood innocence. In all honesty, seeing this back, all these years later, i just realised that my crush on her never really went away. Lindsay was, and still is, stunningly beautiful... \m/ (:o)
I loved me some Bionic Woman. She was my hero as a little girl. She was a beautiful lady. Good actress as well. I loved the show. Couldn't wait when it came on. The theme is so cool. Young girls today don't have too many role models to look up to. I'am soooooo glad I was apart of that era. It was a good and simpler time. I miss it so much. Me and my mom and hubby talk about it alot. The world now is sad today. Wish I could go back. Thanks youtube.
When ABC canceled the show NBC picked it up and that first episode mentioned Steve Austin which was odd since the Six Million Dollar Man was still being seen on ABC.
+Jim Saldana I remember. Sadly, that was the last year for both shows. IMHO, they just ran out of good storylines for the shows. I mean, how many times do we want to see Bigfoot or Deathprobe?
I was 13 years old when this show was on. I used to watch The Six Million Dollar Man all the time and then she co-starred and then I also started watching The Bionic Woman. I remember using the same lines Austin used on Sommers with my first girlfriend at the time.
I thought that was a great show. I was just 12or13 at the time. I enjoyed watching it all the time. Sometimes I wished she was my school teacher back then.
Lindsay was beautiful,stunning and gorgeous but she did have a plain jane aspect to her which made it easier to identify with her.She was not a fantasy doll type or pneumatic blonde but came across as a real flesh and blood person that involved us totally in her struggles and made us care for her and sympathize with her moments of vulnerability! If she was just another plastic screen goddess with no recognizable human qualities our interest would soon wane but she was more interested in exploring character rather than playing up to any sex bomb image and that made us take her to our hearts.She brought out the human centre from beneath the facade of perfect beauty!
+Vincent de Guard None of the female stars today are anywhere near as beautiful as Lindsay was(is!) nor do they convey any of the humanity and amazing elegance she did on the show!
guess i'm a big ole softie but the theme music ESPECIALLY at the :53 second mark to 1:04 mark just "gets me" to tearing up... beautiful and melancholy and meaningful is this music, kind of reminds me of my gone childhood too....
Wonderful memories Jaime was incredible (although the scripts not always kind) and was a great creation of the 70's Jaime, Oscar and Rudy - team bionic
+Survivor2002 There were times when Fielding wasn't credited for the theme, for some reason, but the music was clearly in his style. Does anyone have background info on this?
Kenny Johnson never liked the theme music, apparently because it didn't work as music that could be adapted into the actual score of the show very well. He wanted to replace it and got "his" music man, Harnell, to compose an alternate theme, but I think it was only used once on the opening, but was used on the end credits towards the end of the series. I think the original them music matches up with the images and sound effects very well, there's one episode out there where they got the sound mix on the titles wrong and the SFX are nearly inaudible, and it sound a bit odd without them. Also odd sounding is hearing those same SFX against Harnell's version.
Always loved the look on her face when she busted the tennis ball! Damn. Lindsay Wagner was like my major babe of the 70s. Even more than Farrah Fawcett Majors.
Reels Rihard Yeah. Not only was she beautiful, but she was naturally born to play the role of Jamie Summers. Anyone else would of fucked up the the show. I never get fed up watching the same episodes hundreds of times. Isn't that bizarre? To me, the Bionic Women is just a comfort show. Like comfort food. I'm thinking about possibly purchasing the entire series on DVD Amazon. Well see. I got to go now, I got a phone call from the OSI, and I have to take care of business!!!
Hard to believe I was watching this as a new show 39 years ago. It was a great time to be a kid!
David M Wouldn't have missed it for the world!
+David M I'm with you Bro!! :-)
For sure...
Pues yo soy de 1983-1990 ok
Gz generación z presente
Okay, this brought a tear to my eye. If you are over 40 and grew up in the US, you watched this show! Anyhow, I had the biggest crush on her as a kid!
she did an outstanding job on the doomsday is tomorrow part1 and part 2 she should have won something !
Aired in 1976, one of the best years of my life.
Why wouldn't it bring a tear to eye?
I don't blame you. Not at all.
i did not say anything about tears it was a powerful performance and she did most of her own stunts
huh?My comment wasn't addressed to you.Probably wouldn't admit it, anyway.
i have the biggest crush on her now

+Pablo Fawkes That was a pretty fair assessment of what she was! TV s greatest and most rounded heroine!
+Melanie Daniels She meant a lot to boys too! I remember watching this show when I was a kid and at that age, I didn't understand it from a social or feminist perspective. I just thought it was an awesome, action/adventure, spy show about a hot chick with some really cool bionic powers.

I love the bionic woman and the 6 million dollar man. Good shows of adventure from the 70's and 80's.
My childhood idol. Man the highlight of my day was watching this show. We had a routine at home. "After Bionic Woman goes off you can eat lunch"!! Man I miss those days

One of the four female superheros I grew up with.
The 1970s were a good time to be a kid.
You got that right
La verdad es que la inteligencia 🧠 sea Normal
And the 80s too
Whenever I hear “ feminists “ saying that there were no “ strong female characters “ until the likes of Captain Marvel came along,I laugh and think of Jamie Summers and Linda Carter’s Wonder Woman.
Soy Erick Arnulfo Guerra soy generación z presente 1983-1990 ok y Digo Que en ese tiempo no Había Machismo
Token females these days not the Bionic woman current
Not to mention CHARLIE'S ANGELS....
Token made Thor a woman
Mine was and always will be Xena Warrior Princess
two of my crush when I was a little kid in the 70s Lindsay Wagner n Linda Carter in my humble opinion two of the most beautiful woman ever
Watching this is a painful reminder of how crappy television programming is today. I really enjoyed this show. Lindsey Wagner was terrific and naturally very beautiful. I definitely had a crush on her back in the day. This brings back fond memories from a better time. Thanks for posting.
Just about every guy who saw her, back then, had a crush on her! No surprise, there! 😀
she looks very happy in those pictures someone had pleased her and gave her extra bionic bits by the look of it.
Rest In Peace, Martin E. Brooks (Dr. Rudy Wells ).
I was around 10/11 when the series first went out. It's amazing to watch this again for the first time since. I love how the visuals and music go together so well. The part where the music changes from the harsher opening sounds, to seeing her happily in the gym and jogging always struck a chord with me.

Jamie Sommers was a beautiful junior high school teacher (7th-9th grade).
La belle époque je regardais cette série en famille. I like
Tank you😃💚💚💚
I Miss The Late 70's and ALL the 80's SOO Much !
me too
Same here!!! Although I was a kid when this was on TV,oh man...........couldn't get enough of Ms. Lindsay Wagner!!!! Rrrrroooooowwrrrrrrrr!!! :)
So do I.
Miss them Sooo much
Me five! I loved Max the bionic dog!
LOVED this version. I seem to remember a different-style version in the first series - with less piano in it at the start! Loved it all the same!
Wasn't alive when it initially aired, I have since watched every episode on dvd... This opening and the 6 million dollar man are EVERYTHING! Both Themes are strangely moving... In a good way.

TRAPPER JOHN
That's what they are going to do. By the way you are hot.
Kevin Lane 14 Thanku Kevin...😉 so are u.
Agree!!
Lindsay Wagner first got my attention in a movie called "The Paper Chase" and she also just made a recent appearance as a guest on AMC's COMIC BOOK MEN 11.20.2016 episode
she is the Blake Lively/Brooklyn Decker of the 70's and she is the original CA hotty and poster girl back then :-)

I couldn't agree with you more.
Fuck u lindsay wagner is a liberal moron.
I remember watching this,and what a good actress l Wagner and, l carter,both played leading character at that time in the mid 70s brilliantly
The Bionic Woman theme song used to make me very emotional. That whole intro sequence. I remember my sister teasing me mercilessly when she saw me get teary-eyed.

You had me at 'boob shots'....
SueSnellLives! First of all, I love your profile pic and your profile name! Second, you arent the only one who gets weepy eyed when you hear this theme song. I had the METAL Bionic Woman lunchbox in grade school. I wore that thing out, till it was so rusty, my mom wouldn't let me use it anymore. So she got me a PLASTIC Cabbage Patch Kids lunchbox! Blasphemous! I will never get over losing that lunchbox. I think I will get on eBay and see if I can find another one!!
I miss this TV Show so much... it reminds me of when I was so young still attending elementary school.
God I had such a crush on Lindsey, beautiful lady and still is
Thank God she wasn't taken from us on May 25, 1979...Lindsay and her mother were at Chicago-O'Hare Airport to fly back to L.A., and they'd booked the flight on American Airlines #191, but at the last minute hesitated then booked a later flight.

One of my most favorite classic TV series! Brings back a lot of memories! 💙👸
Even in South Korea, this TV show - titled “Jamie Sommers” in Korea - was so popular along with “The six million dollar man”! I grew up with these TV series and I remember I was looking forward to watching one of these every weekend. It was good old days for sure!
When I was a kid whenever I ran really fast or jumped over something. I would have the bionic sound playing in my head.
+sacheverelle ...yeah, you and 1000s others haha
I still do...
So I wasn't the only one. Nice to meet ya!!
When Jamie had her parachute accident which part of it got ripped because I could hear it ripping
I have watched a lot of shows that bring nostalgia to me now. But THIS opening actually made me CRY! 0.0 I guess when I was a kid, I felt like part of Jamie and Steve's family. : , )
one of he best show to ever be on tv. Brings back so many memories as a little girl. Iloved this show. You cannot re do this show it's original and you can fake it. Tv was so much better back then. Jamie was a strong women but not over the top and cold they way they are now. love the theme to this show
Man did I crush HARD on Lindsay back in the day!!! What a BEAUTY!!!
Oh shut up jus Cs she's white wat beauty she ad no beauty but fake bionics the way those moves of hers wa done lassie the dog is a beauty or haven't u heard of him pillark
She was absolutely stunning
I thought women already had bionic hearing.
+Cerebralcinema haha...not only that been built-in lie-detectors! lol
Vincent de Guard She could team up with Wonderwoman.
+Cerebralcinema :-) That was good!!! Right on point!!! :-)
Mm its good but its not quite steve austin noooo way!! She'd kick your arse though if you were out of work and didnt wash the pots!
Yea hard to beat the bionic man intro and its music. It was awesome when we were kids.
As a youngster at one time. Watched both shows. I miss those days.
Wow!! What a wonderful time to have been alive, growing up and watching wholesome entertainment on television throughout the seventies and eighties!!! I really miss those days too!!
The theme of this show is the most beautiful EVER!!! So lovely!!!
Todays plastic heroes have nothing on Steve and Jaime.Where today can you find all the genuine warmth and human emotion they brought to their roles and their relationship?

I loved me some Bionic Woman. She was my hero as a little girl. She was a beautiful lady. Good actress as well. I loved the show. Couldn't wait when it came on. The theme is so cool. Young girls today don't have too many role models to look up to. I'am soooooo glad I was apart of that era. It was a good and simpler time. I miss it so much.

This is another my favourite science fiction TV series in 1977......Bionic ear.....adam a.s
Those were the wonderful days when people are more peaceful
I'm watching 2018...my favorite 70s show
The Bionic Woman premiered today (January 14) on ABC in 1976. One of my all-time favorite shows.
When ABC canceled the show NBC picked it up and that first episode mentioned Steve Austin which was odd since the Six Million Dollar Man was still being seen on ABC.
+Jim Saldana I remember. Sadly, that was the last year for both shows. IMHO, they just ran out of good storylines for the shows. I mean, how many times do we want to see Bigfoot or Deathprobe?
"You still don't know who I am... do you?" "Who are you.....?"
Give me your hand in spirit.
Just like the Six Million Dollar Man...this is my Era when TV meant something! Thanks for this!
I always preferred this theme, great TV show and of course the very lovely Lyndsay Wagner
I was 13 years old when this show was on. I used to watch The Six Million Dollar Man all the time and then she co-starred and then I also started watching The Bionic Woman. I remember using the same lines Austin used on Sommers with my first girlfriend at the time.
Awesome Theme.bring back childhood memories.
I always loved how her hair flowed when she ran.
I wonder what she put in it to keep it from getting all frizzy after running 60 M.P.H.
I grew up watching Jamie Summers and Lee Majors also Oscar Goldman. I love them, they are still a part of me. Thanks
Let's be honest who among us hasn't tried to squish a tennis ball with their bare hand just like Jaime Sommers does in the intro :)
Me lol
Or rip a phone book in half, like she did in her class.
Favorite TV show opening of all time! I really loved Jaime Sommers!
I thought that was a great show. I was just 12or13 at the time. I enjoyed watching it all the time. Sometimes I wished she was my school teacher back then.
I love this series and I also the Six Million Dollar Man as well. And the movies.
Lindsay Wagner is perfection !!
It was a very popular TV drama in Hong Kong in 1970s, along with Charlie's Angels and Wonderwoman. Those were the days.
I can't believe that I still loved that show then and now, I just wish I had all the episodes on dvd.
The stereo mix here is so awesome and rather mesmerizing. Always loved this theme too. The TV shows were so much fun back then. Just fun!
God Bless:Lindsay Wagner...the Bionic Woman!!
Lindsay was beautiful,stunning and gorgeous but she did have a plain jane aspect to her which made it easier to identify with her.She was not a fantasy doll type or pneumatic blonde but came across as a real flesh and blood person that involved us totally in her struggles and made us care for her and sympathize with her moments of vulnerability! If she was just another plastic screen goddess with no recognizable human qualities our interest would soon wane but she was more interested in exploring character rather than playing up to any sex bomb image and that made us take her to our hearts.She brought out the human centre from beneath the facade of perfect beauty!
+marko krunic Well said...we could do with more like her nowadays.
+Vincent de Guard None of the female stars today are anywhere near as beautiful as Lindsay was(is!) nor do they convey any of the humanity and amazing elegance she did on the show!

They have a secret mission now.
I wish it was still the 70's, much better times.
Wow what a beautiful memories!
it was amazing and she was beautiful xx
I remembered this show when I was a kid.I used see it with my little brothers and sisters.
Six million dollar man and bionic woman. My fav show in the 70s as a kid
I was crazy for this show!
I remember when this show premiered back in the day on Wednesday Nights.
She's an Incredible Actress Kicking Butt in The ERA. TOP TV Series that Landed Steve Austin (LEE MAJORS) & Her IN CYBORNAUTS OF FAME.
guess i'm a big ole softie but the theme music ESPECIALLY at the :53 second mark to 1:04 mark just "gets me" to tearing up... beautiful and melancholy and meaningful is this music, kind of reminds me of my gone childhood too....
I m Vincent & I m 46 now and In grew up in Malaysia.Bionic woman & Wonder woman were my all time favorite ! love them all !
I'm glad to live in a world today where the hero on TV can be the teacher and the heroine can be the astronaut.
I love Lindsay...period.
RIP Richard Anderson
I was born in the 90s but this is definitely one of my favorite show
I was so in love with her as a kid......so beautiful.

Hello 👋 , Good afternoon how are you doing today?
Jaime Sommers was always so beautiful.
LINDSAY WAGNER, MY FIRST CRUSH😍😍😍
Wonderful memories
Jaime was incredible (although the scripts not always kind) and was a great creation of the 70's
Jaime, Oscar and Rudy - team bionic
Me too i miss all the show like Jamie and Steve everyone else on that show thanks you
I remember watching this show when I was ten years old. I loved it.
Hero of my childhood.
I remember watching this show in the 70s. It was a great show.It would be great if they can give bionics to people who been injured.
Magnifique série. Des années 60 70 80 la belle époque 😢
Lindsay Wagner beautiful 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞it love.
Man, Lindsay Wagner, she's was farking gorgeous.
Great Music ! Great actors !
Jerry Fielding wrote the show's score. But IIRC, Joe Harnell composed both the opening and closing themes.
+Survivor2002 There were times when Fielding wasn't credited for the theme, for some reason, but the music was clearly in his style. Does anyone have background info on this?
Kenny Johnson never liked the theme music, apparently because it didn't work as music that could be adapted into the actual score of the show very well. He wanted to replace it and got "his" music man, Harnell, to compose an alternate theme, but I think it was only used once on the opening, but was used on the end credits towards the end of the series. I think the original them music matches up with the images and sound effects very well, there's one episode out there where they got the sound mix on the titles wrong and the SFX are nearly inaudible, and it sound a bit odd without them. Also odd sounding is hearing those same SFX against Harnell's version.
the music is so rich! many instruments
with a bionic arm she should have gone back to being a tennis pro, imagine how fast her serve would be
Always loved the look on her face when she busted the tennis ball! Damn. Lindsay Wagner was like my major babe of the 70s. Even more than Farrah Fawcett Majors.
She's way more beautiful than Farra Facett
Reels Rihard Yeah. Not only was she beautiful, but she was naturally born to play the role of Jamie Summers. Anyone else would of fucked up the the show. I never get fed up watching the same episodes hundreds of times. Isn't that bizarre? To me, the Bionic Women is just a comfort show. Like comfort food. I'm thinking about possibly purchasing the entire series on DVD Amazon. Well see. I got to go now, I got a phone call from the OSI, and I have to take care of business!!!
Yes it's true.I also never get tired of watching this show again and again.
thats what I thought too
Bob Silver Another summers fan. When will it end?
