Oliver Nelson - Population: Zero (1974)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2011
- Music clip culled from the premiere episode of "The Six Million Dollar Man" entitled "Population: Zero" (1974) in which bionic man Steve Austin (actor Lee Majors) runs to save a military base and his pal OSI head Oscar Goldman (actor Richard Anderson) by destroying a microwave cannon-equipped van. After a brief melancolic cue, composer Oliver Nelson injects some electronic music at 00:05 to simulate the psychic effects of the microwaves on people and, at 00:17, switches to heroic music based on a rich and elegant melody which contains a dominant of violins and various pianos combined with a wide array of sustained percussions and brass.

Thank you Mr Majors for making my childhood so GREAT!!!. # CHILD OF THE SEVENTIES😊
Oliver Nelson's running music made the show and NO one will ever replace the great Lee Majors.
Best running style ever, no can beat lee majors
@Ray Be kind to others, it goes a long way practice what you preach. 😐
Too true 😂😂😂👍🏿
Darn right
yea i always tried to run like him when i was a kid
No head bounce, it's all in the shoulders. His head glides along like it's on rails. Smooth!
The music was the cherry on top, the heartbeat in the background was the sprinkles!
One of my favorite shows when I was a kid. How many of us tried to imitate the Six Million Dollar Man when we were kids.?
rickiefn1 All of us, I think.
Kevin Martz This was the first episode I ever seen back in the day and I was hooked ever sence 😎😎
rickiefn1 We all did... it was an awesome childhood...
I still do
Always in the pool...running in slow motion....haha
Imagine action like this!! Steve uses javelin mode with a fence post to stop imminent danger! Yess!!!! My favourite action show of the 70's!
Ah man, you missed the best bit were Steve keeps falling over, until his bionic's kick in, man loved that scene.
Yeah he did miss that one...Love that part 👊🏿
Great attention to detail on that part, as his machinery began to thaw. But I was wondering, Austin could run at 60 mph. They shouldn't have been able to acquire him before he launched that pole right?
No one can run like Lee Majors, he moved his shoulders like a real machine. a cyborg
Ran like an athlete
I ran home to watch him he is the man
He played football before turning to acting. Had suffered a severe back injury that sidelined things.@@hfuhruhurr5139
Lee Majors played some football before acting
Great first episode to a great show. Love Oliver Nelson's music 🎶❤️
Brings back so many memories growing up .
I'm 61 now and this was / is my favourite TV show !
Yeah, he had all that strength and power but he was so cool and he never flaunted it or showed off for anybody. It was a top secret government project.
@@brianfreeman3676 But Barney Hiller did, he wanted to be better than Steven but in the end they became great friends ; )
Anyone else notice that there was sweat only on his human side and none on his bionic side. That's what you call attention to detail.
Never noticed that until now. Very cool!
Good eye. Nice touch by the filmmakers.
Unfortunately, they gave up on 'detail' very quickly. By the second season, sweat was everywhere and Steve was pulling chains apart using both hands.
Was thinking the same thing years ago. Good on YOU!
@phillydisco Doot doot doot doot doot doot doot doot.
Population Zero a classic which set the bar high and with the incomparable Oliver Nelson’s Incredible music 🎼 score the drama is that much more enjoyable.
Love it! No corny sound effects! Just Steve doing his thang!
I love the scene when Steve breaks loose but his bionic systems are still frozen and falls down whilst trying to run at speed; when they come on line he goes full throttle, it is a beautiful moment..
yea i love that scene
I loved that scene too, but little did I know, that at 54, that's how I am once I've gotten out of bed haha
@Sidney McDavid that scene is on UA-cam
That's my boy thawing out
In 2022, I watch the entire series and all the TV movies and this one scene really stands out as one of the best of the 5 year run for a regular one-off episode.
Of all the things I saw on TV as a kid, this scene is the one that ranks as the most uber awesome ever. I've never forgotten it.
*yep same here*
Lee Majors, the man's man!! Always!!!
I can't believe that scene is forty-five years old that scene is better than anything and I mean anything on television now six million rocks
Lee Majors was perfect for the role. He is so charismatic (he still is in 2022)! He looks impressive, imposing, strong, and sexy when he runs in slow motion.
Yep, that slow motion running.
This episode, along with the original TV movie, “The Six Million Dollar Man”, & “Day Of The Robot” were my favorite episodes.
Best robot was always John Saxon! Oscar was good though!
@@berylrosenberg704 , Agree 💯
Nelson died Oct of 1975, near the start of the 3rd season. The first 3 seasons of 6mdm feature his music, and they are the best seasons of the five as far as script quality and music themes. I used to tape this show all the time as a kid on a panasonic recorder and the music was the best part. It's congatastic! It really deserves a proper soundtrack release.
I taped the six million dollar man the first three seasons with a general electric audio tape recorder from seventy three to seventy five long before the home vcr was invented when six million was on Friday nights directed by the great harve Bennett this was the greatest television show in tv history the Oliver Nelson music was great
Universal release a compact disc with Oliver Nelson six million dollar man music now
Of all the episodes, I have to say this particular scene is the one that sticks in my mind the most after all these years. Pulling that fence post out of the ground, concrete and all, running with it, (heart beat rate-normal pace) and then throwing that joint. Absolutely AWESOME!!!!
it never got this good again
Mine too Hulk
@@jaimewalls8416 How about the parts in other shows where Steve jumps up or when he jumping down and runs?
Real arm is all sweaty and the bionic arm is dry. Nice detail.
Nice to know I'm not the only one who noticed that!
My childhood fav. The attention to detail early on was unique. He doesn’t sweat on the right side where his bionic arm inserts into his shoulder, etc. The scene right before this where he’s running and all you hear is his heartbeat is awesome.
Just noticed that
I remember waking up to this one night as the TV was still on back when I was a kid. This was the exact scene that was playing. My first introduction to The Six Million Dollar Man. I've been hooked ever since. 👍
I STILL want the music from this show..
He’s the only guy who makes running look good...
Lmfao
Classic macho!
he was a cool runner, i wonder if he had to run for his audition
For me it was the slow motion running the way he ran and the cool music with it.
back in the day, early episodes like this one were every bit as serious and suspenseful as a Tom Clancy thriller - no kiddyish plots and plenty of intrigue
Yep
As seasons went on, ratio of good/decent, taking itself seriously, to bad stories, direction, lack of Oliver Nelson original soundtracks, Majors moustache, too many robot, fembots, etc got so bad I gave up after 3rd season as an 11 year old and went hard core Trek thereafter.
I recognized the cheese even at that age
But watching reruns in the early, mid 80s, I could see the quality in the first 2 seasons minimum, some of s3
@@alexxbaudwhyn7572 - if they were to ever do a revival of SMDM, they should stick to that 1st-season flavor. The books by Martin Caidin are also quite cool. The final novel has Steve Austin stripped of his bionic limbs, so that he can be integrated with an advanced aerospace vehicle derived from the one he first crashed in. His bionic interface allows him to see and feel using the sensors of the spacecraft, and he can control thrusters and actuators like his limbs. By the end of the story, his mind has become irreversibly integrated with the spacecraft's advanced electronics. So after completing his mission, he just flies off into space and becomes a new type of cyborg-spacecraft lifeform living out the rest of his days in the cosmos.
@@manofsan wow I’ll have to find that novel...sounds great.
@@alexxbaudwhyn7572 Was there a fifth season? I have season one thru four.But anyway the last season did not have much bionic effects and i did not like the show much but watched because of Lee.
My first episode I seen
And I was hooked!!!!
1974 I was 9
And I watched it every week
😎😎😎
Great music! This is definitely the most memorable and powerful scene from the series. Thanks for sharing this.
After Oliver Nelson died after the first few seasons the music went down and down. This made this show period. Love this scene.
Hey now, I think his dustup with Bigfoot tops this one. He ripped his arm clean off for crying out loud.
La musica reafirma la accion del momento ..
Nah. There were a lot of great scenes. Steve knocks off the face of John Saxon's robot in Day of the Robot. Steve knocks off the face of the Oscar Robot. Steve vs. The 7 Million Dollar Man. Bigfoot. So much from the first 3 seasons!
@@JohnDoe-yi4xd The one with John Saxon scared me then and i can't bring myself to watch it now. I have the d v d. What the heck i'm gonna watch it : )
that's part of what made the six million dollar man great. The music, the sound effects and Lee Majors being a very cool Cornel Steve Austin
Colonel
@@stevenbissett remember, they had him locked in a freezer and his human and bionic limbs were frozen. He ran and thawed out started slow and built up his speed.
Man, I remember watching this on it's premiere broadcast as "first" episode of the weekly series. This show was the bomb in 4th grade!
Truly one of great score scenes of this wonderful series.
*and the music is great too :)*
This was scene that made everyone take notice!
Actually even now in 2017 it fairly good.
My all time favorite scene of the entire series. It's still awesome after all these years!
This was an INCREDIBLE tv show. Very little special effects but excellent characters and decent and exciting story telling. Mr. Majors was a college football player before starting acting. His physical ability playing this role was evident. Awesome action character and one of my very favorite tv's still to this day. And the musical score to these scenes was the BEST!
I like how Steve wasn't hamstrung about bringing villains to justice. He'd smoke em if the opportunity presented itself.
My favorite scene of all.
The Oliver Nelson score of Steve Austin's first running scene in a season 1 episode where Steve stops a hitman who has a twin - is awesome. Still holds up today
That was in the episode eyewitness with Gary Lockwood as John hopper that was the greatest episode of six million dollar man ever the music at the beginning and the end of the episode were great Gary Lockwood was great as John hopper Gary Lockwood should have been in more episodes as John hopper the running of Steve Austin and special effects in that eyewitness episode were outstanding
@@jonjonas2528 the music, when steve is running through the park heading to where his twin is, between his running and the music, is just awesome, I wish they would make a soundtrack of all the Oliver Nelsons music from the show.
yea i love that music and his running looked great, running in the park and running on the sidewalks
@@Brian.8272 We need that!
@@Brian.8272 Yes!
this episode was not only the 'best' of the entire series but had the most intense version of the main theme.
That piano player can JAM!!!!
Running faster than humanly possible, with a normal heart rate, no sweat sweat on the bionic arm ( attention to detail) and those cords ( the music) wtf brilliant!!
Robert Brown Jr BECAUSE WITH HIS NEW ARM AND LEGS HIS ❤ HEART ONLY HAD TO PUMP OXYGEN TO ONE ARM
Could be the most exciting three minutes of this series.🙂
Agreed.
Love the guy flipping over the Jeep seat for no particular reason.
I remember this episode as a kid, I always thought this was one of those magical t.v. moments that can often define a series. I really loved this show. Thanks for posting!
Well said ! ! ! After the three pilot TV movies, I wondered if my getting the box set was a mistake. (I hadn't seen the show since the late '70's.) "Population: Zero" proved me wrong. To me, this is the true beginning of the show, and yes, it is a truly amazing moment in television history. It's my favorite episode of my favorite show, along with "Day of the Robot."
I was a little kid back then, but old enough to remember this episode when it was new. The first two seasons are by far my favorite. By the 4th season the show had become a caricature of its former self, because Steve couldn't so much as sneeze or scratch his ass without a bionic sound effect.
@@SingleTax you are so right my friend see the first two years six million was on Friday nights are the great harve Bennett was the producer then in the third season those abc idoits moved six million to Sunday nights then it became very depressing on Friday nights with harve Bennett you had fun episodes like popupltion zero the day of the robot Dr Wells is missing the hl ten episode and the legendary eyewitness episode with the great Gary Lockwood playing the legendary john hopper which was the greatest episode of six million dollar man ever the music in that Gary Lockwood episode was outstanding and the stunts were the greatest the bionic eye red night vision effects were outstanding especially with Gary Lockwood on the roof those special effected are better than anything now and this was filmed forty-five years ago and that Oliver Nelson music the greatest and the famous Friday night seven million dollar man episode with the great monte Markham those we're all Friday night six million episodes the the depressing Sunday night Alan balter episodes like that jerk bigfoot stupid space people and that unwatchable depressing two episode bionic woman crap and that idoit space probe that showed up ever few weeks I mean come on if the United States air Force had a out of control space probe that landed on Earth wouldn't the air Force just destroy the probe with tacticle battlefield nuclear weapons why would the great Steve Austin. Have to deal with a stupid space probe abc ruined six million dollar. Man by moving it to the depressing Sunday night but Friday night harve Bennett six million dollar man the greatest show in t. History
@@overdrive1975 my favorite episode of the six million dollar man the legendary eyewitness episode with the great Gary Lockwood as the great John hopper this was the greatest episode of six million ever the music all the way through the episode was cool with great running and stunts and the acting it was outstanding the eyewitness episode is from the spring of seventy four and it was on a Friday night when six million was great the bionic eye red night vision special effects were great and check out the vcr that played John hoppers tv interview it was real to real and very futuristic watch the eyewitness Gary Lockwood as John hopper episode you will see how great it is I talked the episode with a get tape recorder back in seventy four and I still have that audio tape this was before home vcr were available
@@jonjonas2528 Actually it was on Friday nights for only part of the 2nd season: they switched it to Sunday nights in January '75, went to Saturday nights for a few episodes (probably in response to viewer complaints), then back to Sunday for good. One of the things I remember liking most about the Friday night era was that Kolchak: The Night Stalker came on immediately afterwards (I was only in first grade at the time, and that show scared the crap out of me). Why the executive producers insisted on fixing what wasn't broke is beyond me.
What’s special about this official first episode in the series is they don’t waste anytime pointing out one of the flaws in bionics and Steve is forced to kill to save others.
OLIVER NELSON totally made this show and Lee Majors. The music was the greatest. After Oliver sadly passed the music wasn't the same sadly and the show went down. Only good music after was Bigfoot 1 and 2. Universal should release a cd with all his tunes for all us fans already! This would be such a tribute to this top composer. Now, Hope they use the SAME music in the new Whalberg film and not ruin it...but, NO one will ever compare to Lee and Richard.
+Blake S Agreed. It really is about time all the great Oliver Nelson music on The Six Million Dollar Man was released. La La records have released full compilations of Star Trek, Mission Impossible and Lost In Space. I have tried to twist their arm to also release a full Oliver Nelson Six million Dollar Man compilation, but a few more voices to them might also help them to then twist the arms at Universal. So everybody chip in.
.
Hopefully that movie will never come out!!!!!!
Why didn't they bring back Gil melle to do the music after Oliver Nelson was gone
The Oliver Nelson music was the greatest music on a TV series in history the great Oliver Nelson his great six million dollar man music I just hope that the new six billion dollar man movie has the great Oliver Nelson music for the six billion dollar man movie message to the director and producer of the six billion dollar man movie play the Oliver Nelson six million music all through that movie
Great combo of music and action. This has to be one of the best episodes of SMDM (not to mention the first real episode after a string of movies).The music really captures Steve's bionically enhanced speed/ strength. It's just as good to watch/listen today.
It is truly timeless and immortal a show to watch. He was a man's man. No superhero suit needed, no fake muscles. A man by horrific circumstances given a second chance at life and using the grit and determination to do what he must to make a difference with his new gifts. Lee Majors personified the role perfectly. Nailed it.
Oliver Nelson was a master of creating music that totally enhanced an action sequence and I wished they kept the sound effects simple as you see and hear in this clip just how much more powerful and dramatic it is without the effects of the latter seasons
friggin BRILLIANT!! Loved every moment - music, visuals and all. They used to make good tv, once upon a time...
This scene, this episode - has stayed with me all these years. What does that say about the creative talents behind the show 🤔, or even television in general back then? Simply incredible 👏
Not only is the music great, but this particular scene in Population:Zero is one of the greatest and one of the most memorable of the series. This is one of the very few times that Steve actually killed somebody, which he was forced to do in order to save Oscar, the female doctor, the army unit, and ultimately himself. It was do or die. Particularly, the part where the van driver is shocked and horrified to see Steve coming at them and goes into a major panic is further emphasized by the music, which enhances one of the greatest climatic scenes of the Six Million Dollar Man. The music matches this scene perfectly. But to get the absolute full impact of this particular scene, it is imperative that you watch the entire episode.
I agree. I loved when the van driver yelled, "It's Austin! He's coming at us!!" He knew how much danger they were in.
Steve Austin's running plus that great music by Oliver Nelson truly drove this scene. Great stuff.
Right! This reflects the tone of the CYBORG novels in which Steve does indeed kill.
@@stevencohen624 the piano music should have when Steve lifts the poll out of the ground they botched it
The episode eyewitness with Gary Lockwood as John hopper was the greatest episode of the six million dollar man the music in the episode was great especially at the beginning and the end that show was so believable it was like Steve Austin and Oscar Goldman were real when six million was on Friday nights fro. Seventy three to seventy five that was the greatest show in television history Friday night six million dollar man they wrecked the show when they moved it to Sunday nights have been better was a great director of that series when Allan halter took over and Sunday nights he ruined six million but the Friday night have Bennet six million the best show I tv history

Population Zero is one of my favorite episodes and it’s Oliver Nelson’s score with Lee and Richard’s acting that brought it together.
And a few years ago life imitated art when the Cubans used a similar weapon to ultrasonics to harm our diplomats there in Cuba 🇨🇺
Liked this show a bunch when a pre-teen, this probably my favorite sequence....Believe SA was almost frozen by bad guys?/gets free/soaked in sweat/improvises how to defeat bad guys/surprises the very same--winning throw does the job and a little happiness on SA's face...nice combo of reg speed/slo mo and accompanying music..
One of my favorite episodes. Still remember every second shown, even though I haven't seen it in at least 25 years. Thanks for sharing it.
I always liked the show without the bionic sound effects. They made the props look real. I really believed that Lee Majors took that post out of the ground, ran with it and hurled it I to the van. No goofy campy sounds. Music great and I always wanted run run like Lee Majors I thought it was cool. I also liked the heart beat when his bionic were heating up from being frozen.
No one can do it like Lee Majors 😉🇺🇸
One of the best scenes AND MUSIC from this fantastic loved show. NO one will ever compare to Lee Majors and the great Oliver Nelson's music! Best show on TV yet. Sadly Universal could of got the box set in ALOT better quality. It looks to me these aren't from the originals.
Always Loved The Six Million Dollar Man. Who Didn't Love Lee Majors, As Col. STEVE AUSTIN?
I don’t WANNA cover my ears, lady! I wanna hear the music! 🎶🎶🎶😊😊
I member seeing this episode on TV the night it first aired. Still one of the best.
It's Austin! He's coming at us (says the baddie in the car to Dr Bacon) What an episode! For Six Million, Mr Goldman (Richard Anderson) made a worthwhile investment.
Great music... Oliver Nelson wrote a ton of great music for this show. There's another great bit in season 1 episode 'Little Orphan Airplane', when Steve finds the downed airplane. Some amazing percussion there.
What's cool about this early episode is that he KILLS the bad guys! After the show became a hit with kids he didn't kill anybody anymore : (
One of my favorite scenes
Still one of my favorite shows. I grew up watching it. I Still love it. Col. Steve Austin. Love the Introduction to the show. 😊❤
I loved this show growing up. I remember this scene vividly!
Notice how Steve's right armpit is dry while the rest of his shirt is wet? They actually paid attention to bionic details like this in the early shows.
And did you also notice the bel bottoms he had on when he was running!
Wonderful music score. Why don't modern soundtracks use bass drums and bongos anymore?
Jaimie couldn't have done it with that bionic ear, she'd would been writhing in pain.
I remember that from 35 years ago; I was 5 or 6 and my Dad was doing his best to explain to me both the frozen bionics and Steve's own personal demons.
AND something that most people seem to forget: the 'unnaturally' slow heartbeat: that was because Steve's heart had only to pump to his torso and one arm! (SMDM's slo-mo went deeper than dramatic cinematics!!)) So he had vast stamina and ought to have had double his normal life expectancy! Sadly, Lee Majors remains only as mortal as his fans.
Oliver Nelson was the MAN he made the bionic man even better with his music that was a bad dude.
+John Manning I agree. The music and Steve Austin's running really drove this scene. I loved it when the villain turned the weapon at him, yelled, "
Get him!", and Steve threw the fencepost. Great scene. I watched this every Sunday night when I was a kid.
Oliver Nelson's musjc for Six Mil was pretty awesome! I read that Stevie Wonder was somewhat "mentored" by him or something of that nature! And I then realized the slight similarity between the SMDM theme and Stevie Wonder's hit "You ain't done nothin'!" if you listen closely to the instrumentals and best, you'll hear the similarities! Some really great music on this show truly made the action scenes stand out!

Happy Birthday Lee Majors, 78
That was one of the coolest action scenes from "The Six Million Dollar Man" I ever saw.
As a matter of fact, Lindsay Wagner did a similar stunt in an episode of the "Bionic Woman" too!
I love this show and amm grateful for this video! I was 12 when it first aired and I saw it. It makes me pine for a time when life in this country was different and most of my relatives were still alive.
I like how the driver is like, "Hmmm, there's a guy carrying a uprooted fence post running 50mph right towards me... Just a second, now! It's Austin!!"
I wish one of the record labels that releases soundtracks could investigate the availability of Nelson's great music for this series.
That was AWESOME, remember it as a kid in the 70s
He killed quite a bit on "Dr Wells is Missing." Incredible episode. Probably my favorite next to the 7 Million Dollar Man 2 episodes.
Love the music more than the bionic sound effects, later episodes overplayed the bionic sound.
The soundtrack is FANTASTIC!!!!
1970s TV Icon. Total Bad Ass!
Abc should have had a seven million dollar man series with the great monte Markham
I just watched this episode on dvd recently and still holds up well.
how great was that scene, fantastic show....
I cant believe this episode is 40 years old
+fhoneman I am 47 and remember watching this show... time goes b y
The piano solo should be when the poll is lifted out of the ground !
Oscar Goldman is still out there !
Steve Austin is now the director of the OSI
Steve Austin is now the director of the OSI
Oh, yeah! The first and ONLY time Steve Austin's theme was played as charted in FULL in an episode! Although most of it was heard again in "Big Brother", I'm pretty sure that was after Nelson's death. This would be a great lead off the wished for soundtrack album!
My favorite scene of the entire series (not counting the pilot)
One great detail was that he sweats only under his real arm..
I only really liked the original movie and the very first 'tv' episode (Population Zero)...this clip showcases how the series could have had continued appeal to not only kids but adults as well -although covered in sweat there was none near the bionic arm (brilliant), the 'eye-zoom' at :31 didn't need cross hairs or sound effects and he wasn't afraid to kill the bad guys if he had to, of course in the original movie the Oliver Spencer character (his boss) seemed many times cooler then the sometimes wishy-washy Oscar Goldman
There's a guy here called Steve Bissett who has made a video that he claims lists mistakes in this show. He asks everyone who praises this show, its production values, human values and legacy to watch his video.
I am from India and first watched this show in 1978 in Zambia when I was 6. The positivity that this show and the values it espoused had on the children (now adults and parents themselves) who adored it is manifest in our belief in the simple decency of all life and all values.
So I ask Mr. Bissett to respect this forum and the right of we the fans of this show to value each other's insights and experiences of our favourite show.
Terrific that you noticed! Have been pointing this detail out to my bro and friends ever since I saw your observation! Thank you!
Quite an exhilaration having superhuman strength!
Oliver Nelson´s music was brilliant! and that sounds and electronic effects at 00:05 give me the creeps.
The music was such a key element of making the show work that it's baffling that they basically ditched it in the 80s revival for some porno-y sax/synth stuff. Apologies for being blunt, but if you see clips from it, it's the worst.
Dude i just keep watching this, in a way, wish they hadn't added the sound effect when he's running, this a dope!!
I agree. Why doesn't Universal go into their vaults and release a c.d. with ALL of the late great Oliver Nelsons running music for us millions of fans. The music is just sitting there.
What a hero...~!
2:27 - 2:39
Legend has it that pole is STILL flying through the air, through an infinite number of cut away/cut back scenes
Amazing soundtrack, Oliver Nelson, Gil Melle and others.
I like steve 's belt
@shatnershairpiece yeah, this first tv episode was quite a bit different and kind of stands alone in that it was more oriented towards adults -details as you mentioned wouldn't have been picked up by children, even the "eye zoom" at :31 was more realistic then the corny periscope visual they used for the rest of the series...as early as the second episode they were already making pnematic tool sounds when he took off a car tire and those overdone 'bionic' sounds for anything he did
Well, that pneumatic wrench sound effect (like when he was yanking the airplane engine in "Little Orphan Airplane") sounded a lot more realistic than the later ones.
very true, as he became less violent the show became more ridiculous
Yum slow motion is a wonderful thing
