I was born in 73 …this was one of my favorite shows. I even tried to convince some of my friends at school that I was bionic 😆…the told me to prove it and of course I couldn’t.
I hope you all enjoy my latest video, this time on the Six Million Dollar Man. This is one of those shows I grew up with. I was one of those kids that ran around the house in slow motion trying to make the bionic sound.😀
When i was a kid The Six Million Dollar Man was my absolute favourite show, I even had the Steve Austin action figure with the bionic arm that you could roll up the skin and see the bionic stuff underneath and that picked up a plastic V8 engine by pushing a button on his back and a little hole through his head so you could look through his bionic eye. I loved that show so much I never missed an episode.
The intro is one of the best TV show intros ever! I especially like the part where Steve's running fast where it's at an actual fast pace (instead of slow motion).
When I was in grade school one of my classmates used show-and-tell time once a week to give the Six Million Dollar Man recap from the previous night’s episode
I was born in ‘74 so I don’t remember much of 6 million Dollar Man or Bionic Woman. But, I do remember Friday nights watching Wonder Woman and The Incredible Hulk, loved those. I use to spin around trying to turn into her and roaring and picking up a couch cushion and throwing it in slow motion like Hulk. lol, ah memories.
As a kid the Bigfoot on this show terrified me! Since you mentioned "The Bionic Woman", the Fembots were just as scary. I'm 57 and still get the creeps thinking about these things. Yikes!
How I survived trying to turn myself into Steve and hospital's having to rebuild me, I'll never know. My injuries were extensive.I loved this. I wasn't bionic after all, but patched up. Painful but fond memories. 🤒🤕😋
I remember my whole family (7 of us inall) sitting in front room on Sunday nights watching every time. My dad would turn off the TV juuussst before the tune in next week started. Good times I tell ya.🥳💥💥💥💥💫💫💫💫💥💢💢💢💢💥💥💥💥
He was supposed to be moving at amazingly fast speeds, yet it was shown in slow-mo? The intro is still great. I had my Steve Austin suit as a kid, complete with bionic arm and legs. I was the man!
I avidly watched this show every week as a kid and it was just the best, the amount of times playing outside me being Steve Austin and making the bionic sounds in slow motion. That was when kids were kids and were allowed to have a childhood, filled with fun and imagination.
Saw every episode as a kid when they aired, but I never noticed most of those mistakes. I did often wonder, though, about him typing at superspeed with both hands, and when he would block Barney's punches with his left arm. Still, it was great!
I always thought the strain on the rest of the body would be unbearable. Some of the things Steve did would be impossible no matter how strong his bionics were. Great watch , thanks
Great vid. As a 70s kid I'd be GLUED to the set waiting for the S... I... X... M...I... L etc to pop onto the screen. He was my hero. One of the best TV themes as well by Oliver Nelson.
Another great video, Tvcrazyman! I really admire the great stuntwork they did on old shows like this. There was no CGI coppin-out back then. If you wanted Wonder Woman to dangle precariously from a helicopter, you actually had to have a stuntwoman go do it! These stunt performers were real stars in their own right as far as I'm concerned.
5:39 no, in practical special effects, they use rocks made out of paper Mâché or Styrofoam that are painted and stippled to look like they’re made out of like granite or something, but they weigh practically nothing. Adding a little Fullers earth or dust to the rocks gives impressive looking effects when they hit something, because some of the dust will shake off and it looks like the rock made impact. That’s also how Steve Austin can throw boulders. The boulder might actually weigh a few pounds.
As a kid in the 70s, we thought all this whiz bang Nasa Super Bionic Hardware was a real deal and could be used one day. It was a great series and I beleve the actor had a contract that said he gets to keep all his Clothes made for the series.??? AND the guy is still Alive...Thats BIONIC....!!!!!
Awesome job 👏🏻👍🏻 loved this video. Nothing better than the way back machine of my youth. Thanks for those fun memories. Had the bionic man action figure. No self worth American boy would ever call it a doll. Dolls as we knew it then were for girls. Who knows now. lol. Nothing beat those days of our youth. Right? Also the Two Bigfoot episodes were my all time favorites of that series. Plus the beginning of the show was pretty awesome as well. We can rebuild him part. 😊
I think there was a joke back in the day where moms called them dolls which would get an angry reply in return that they were action figures. Seems like I may have had to correct my mom on a few of my toys. I never got the Six Million Dollar Man action figure. Seems like I could never find it. I remember having one of the Hulk, Batman, and maybe Spider-man.
@@tvcrazyman , cool. But let’s not forget the Evel Knivel action bike. Turning that handle thing was crazy fun. And away down the steps went Evel. lol. Yes those were our days.
Back in the old days. TVs were small and did not have high-definition. You could not replay a scene. And we were told to stay a distance away from them because of radiation. This is why people never notice all the mistakes.
I still (kinda) remember the first time I saw Six Million Dollar Man. I was on a family vacation and I was... I dunno, too long ago to remember clearly but around ten years old. My dad got us a hotel room for the night and turned the tv on and they were playing this show and it was the episode where Steve pulled a fence-post out of the ground and threw it about 87 miles through the air to destroy a tank. I think. This was over 40 years ago so I'm not remembering every detail. But I became a fan that day and wound up watching pretty much every episode ever put out eventually. Great show, great memories, at least the parts I can still remember. Thanks for sharing. 👍
This was hilarious and your best ep! The 6MD Bigfoot episodes were my favorites. As kids we all made bionic noises and did stuff in slow motion! 😅. Maskotron eps were cool too.
I had the privilege and pleasure of going to Universal Studios in the mid-70's and we got to watch the live filming of the Ice Cave on the Bigfoot episode!!! One of my BEST memories. I also have a photograph of The Incredible Hulk (Lou Ferrigno) painted up as the Hulk and standing behind me with his big green hands on both sides of my neck. I was about 10 years old. GREAT TIMES!!!
My favourite as a kid! And with only a few tv channels to watch, we would all re-enact the previous night’s episode with our friends at school the next day! Best intro on TV, which holds up today! The show itself…not so much. But it was great fun for a young boy at the time!
Great unique videos. I love these old shows. I greew up running in slow motion making bionic sounds. Love the Dukes of hazard and knight rider and the incredible hulk
Thanks for another very enjoyable look back at what were the favorite programs for many of us ! It's always fun to see your many observations, way to go tv crazyman!
Great video! I still prefer the old school practical effects over today’s over the top CGI. I appreciate the physical stunts that went into these effects making them seem so believable. Awesome channel! Glad you were able to be a part of this generation!
These continuity error revelations have devastated me - my childhood memories are now irrevocably sullied knowing I was cynically tricked in this dreadful manner . The taxi/saloon switch had me in tears.
Thank you for uploading your videos. I love your channel. Sometimes memory lane isn't such a great place, but you remind me of those happy times. Thanks again.
For Christmas one year I walk down stairs and I saw the the space capsule surgery thing and I had every single piece of the bionic man I could ever want. I also got Evel Knievel and the motorcycle for Christmas that year years later method Man myself and became very good friends with him in Millbrae California
64 years old for me as well... this indeed was one of my favorite shows in high school. My favorite episode was the "Secret of BigFoot" .... BF sure made Steve look like a weakling by comparison!
Thanks for the video! This was one of my favorite shows as a kid and about 10 years ago I bought the DVD box set and I was surprised how much I didn’t pick up on as a kid. He was very standoff-ish with a lot of women on the show. He’d be undercover in Europe and some hot attaché is flirting with him and he responded like he was offended. I mean, sometimes he’d end up with a chick at the end, and they did give him a Bionic Woman girlfriend, but this was supposed to be a cyborg James Bond but he wasn’t being a poon hound. Then when he was singing that love song to the Bionic Woman I quit watching the DVD’s!
Oh, the ol Sweet Jamie tune. I didn't care much for it at the time, either. When it first aired, I could my mom cry behind me. Now all you and I can do is skip it and pop another disc. in.
They got away with these visual goofs because TVs were smaller, reception wasn't that great, our parents couldn't afford to get us glasses (we didn't even know we needed them, no regular eye exams), and we were periodically turning our heads away from the TV to yell back to our parents that we'd clean our rooms later.
@@JGG1701 But I bet they are quite expensive, especially Mint In Box or like new. Ive been wanting to buy a replacement Maskatron for the one I lost...But when I saw the prices... Jeez Louise!... Even on Facebook Market!
I used to love this program when I was a kid. But I’m not sure I could watch it now. My brain couldn’t cope with all the bad effects. At the time I used to hate that they demonstrated Steve running fast by doing it in slow motion! That was just plain wrong. 🤣 Anyway another great video! 👏👏👏
If I remember correctly, the 1st episode shows Steve running very fast behind a semi. There were a couple that saw him doing that, and they couldn't believe their eyes. P.S. Be young, have fun watch it again. You can thank me later 😌
Awesome video Mr Tvcrazyman. I loved this show when I was a kid. Thanks for showing this to everybody. Have a good one and until your next video ✌️ Mr Tvcrazyman.
I'm pretty lucky. My dad was a camera operator. He worked on both shows including the Fembots. I was able to go on set with him. It was pretty cool. My dad's name is Bill Swearingen. He worked or filmed many shows in the 70's and 80's from the Waltons to Falcon Crest to Dukes of Hazard, Happy Days and the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman
4:15. Guess what, that taxi could also be a 70s car! The same basic body style of Checker Cab was produced from 1956 to 1982!!! The quad headlight cars started production in the 1961 models - and the styling was even outdated by then! So the car shown was at most about 15 years old at the time.
I love the "Instantly turn into mannequins" observation. That was common back in the '60s & '70s. _Westestworld_ (1973) comes to mind. But what choice did they have?
One thing that has always bugged me with the six million dollar man: with many of the feats, how does his back and spine hold up? A bionic arm is quite limited in strength without some sort of spinal/back muscle reinforcement. That would also include those high jumps. Those spinal disks would be destroyed, I think.
In the novels and the return of the six million dollar man and the bionic woman, they state that parts of his spine are rib cage were replaced and reinforced with steel so he could use his strength
@@davidhanson9160 Yeah, I had assumed it a possibility that the original creator of the character would have thought of this. But, Hollywood sometimes likes to ignore crucial details, lol
I haven’t seen any episodes since I was a kid. As a kid, those questions never entered my mind. I just enjoyed it for what was. I loved the episodes with Bigfoot in them.
12:47 there’s your lightweight prop based on Styrofoam. Real tires would have been heavy and injured the actor, so they pretend the tires are wrapped with paper, which tires sometimes are, and the inside is really just Styrofoam. It doesn’t help when the actor falls on it and breaks it.
Six million dollars 💵 was an awful lot of money back then in the early 1970s. In fact it is still a lot of money to must people even today !. However your quoted figure in todays money, would be getting close to the amount needed to create a real Bionic Man 👨. Perhaps ?.....
Considering it costs upwards of a half million for a pair of REAL bionic leg prosthetics, are you surprised? Only the military can front a bill like that
Say what you will, we 5 year-olds took this show as serious as a heart attack back then. It was beautiful.
So True
Certainly did!
After every weekly episode the playground was rife with the sounds of kids doing their best sound effects
I was born in 73 …this was one of my favorite shows. I even tried to convince some of my friends at school that I was bionic 😆…the told me to prove it and of course I couldn’t.
@@shanebrbich5698 my favourite was the bionic eye sound .tututututututututuyututu
You were so right! This was super serious play with my ole' gang! Playing Army, too!
I hope you all enjoy my latest video, this time on the Six Million Dollar Man. This is one of those shows I grew up with. I was one of those kids that ran around the house in slow motion trying to make the bionic sound.😀
Thank you for this content. I love the Six Million Dollar Man! I'm looking forward to the SMDM movie Mark Wahlberg is making (supposedly).
Yeah, I think that ship has sailed, he's getting too old. It should've come out when they did the Bionic Woman remake ( which wasn't that great).
I'm loving this 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
The best were the leisure suits. No special effects there.
You make my day 😂
My favorite line will always be the opening. "We can rebuild him. We have the technology. "
Mine is, "Faster, stronger, better than he was before"
That line has embedded itself into our culture. Any time someone says, "We have the technology!" that's what they are inadvertently referring...
...we can build the world's first bionic man....da da da da.....
@@tvcrazyman I just subscribed
@@tvcrazymannot quite...it's "better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster."

Excellent!
I'm 59, and I still have my SMDM ACTION FIGURES.
Okay, 4 actually in various outfits of course.
I wish that I could send you a picture 😊
I had that too but always wanted the ‘lab’ thing accessory.
Right there with ya!!!
The intro is one of the best TV show intros ever! I especially like the part where Steve's running fast where it's at an actual fast pace (instead of slow motion).
The cab is a Checker Marathon, a company that still existed until 1980 building the same 1950s car believe it or not.
70's and 80's had the best TV s shows and cartoons miss those good old days.
Hell.......YEAH they did!
Add the 60s to that, as they where still around for a while.
Definitely!
The Six Million Dollar Man was one of my favorite shows growing up. Even today I still enjoy watching it. Good show
Mine Too😄
Where do you watch it? I haven't been able to find it anywhere.
As a youngster it was an awesome show 😊 specially with Andre as Bigfoot. Kolchak the night stalker was another 😊
Yeah, definitely my favorite too. Probably didn't miss a single episode either. Thanks
Greatest show growing up as a 70s kids
I used to watch it all the time!
@@Red-rl1xx Me too..😁

@@robertrecchia2642 yes absolutely
Am 50 now. Was my favourite show too in the 80s. As a kid would run in slo mo while making bionic sound

I had the action figure and a wore a red adidas track suit I was so into it
Obviously the creator of this video wasn’t. It’s unfortunate.
I loved this show ❤️ i had toy figure with the bionic eye 😊 i also had the free tattoos of bionic parts we got in the beano comic 😀
I still get chills listening to opening music.

Yeah, it was always fun to watch.
Did the 7 million dollar man have two bionic arms? Think they could have upgraded Steve as he was doing all their dirty work. 😁
This and The Night Stalker were my favorite shows as a kid
I really like the Disco and bell bottom clothes and Larry the Leisure Suites- SO COOL!!!!
I always thought the strain on the rest of the body would be unbearable. Some of the things Steve did would be impossible no matter how strong his bionics were. Great watch , thanks
When you were a little boy in the 70's (like me), you didn't need to suspend your disbelief that much.
😂 Or suspend it at all.

I'm 63 and grew up watching "Gilligan's Island," "The Munsters," "The Outer Limits," and listening to "Seasons in the Sun."
Him and Bionic Woman were a glimpse in the future back then.
211k views in 1 month for bionic sounds! Fantastic!!!
I use to love this show. I wish it come back
Another great video, Tvcrazyman! I really admire the great stuntwork they did on old shows like this. There was no CGI coppin-out back then. If you wanted Wonder Woman to dangle precariously from a helicopter, you actually had to have a stuntwoman go do it! These stunt performers were real stars in their own right as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah, I agree, the stuntmen were like real life superheroes with some of the things they pulled off. They would have given Batman a run for his money.

Barney Hiller is played by my cousin Monty Markham LOL😂.
The show was made for 10 year olds watching on a 19 inch 640x480 tube television. They didn't care or even have to worry about the slop.
Accurate
I love the "Instantly turn into mannequins" observation. That was common back in the '60s & '70s. _Westestworld_ (1973) comes to mind. But what choice did they have?
One thing that has always bugged me with the six million dollar man: with many of the feats, how does his back and spine hold up? A bionic arm is quite limited in strength without some sort of spinal/back muscle reinforcement. That would also include those high jumps. Those spinal disks would be destroyed, I think.
In the novels and the return of the six million dollar man and the bionic woman, they state that parts of his spine are rib cage were replaced and reinforced with steel so he could use his strength
@@davidhanson9160 Yeah, I had assumed it a possibility that the original creator of the character would have thought of this. But, Hollywood sometimes likes to ignore crucial details, lol
I haven’t seen any episodes since I was a kid. As a kid, those questions never entered my mind. I just enjoyed it for what was. I loved the episodes with Bigfoot in them.
@@CarlosLopez-eg9im Yeah, those Bigfoot episodes were huge!
Because it's not real.
Fantastic!!! 👍
Thanks
The 'explosion' sound effect at 13:34 is the same sound effect used for the rooftop fireworks battle in "Mary Poppins"!
I did not know that. Very interesting.
Thank you ! I loved the video , you took me to my childhood when I play with all these toys . Wow wonderful time. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it. 😀
" lurch" was also in star trek! I wonder if him and Kirk met up during this period ?
12:47 there’s your lightweight prop based on Styrofoam. Real tires would have been heavy and injured the actor, so they pretend the tires are wrapped with paper, which tires sometimes are, and the inside is really just Styrofoam. It doesn’t help when the actor falls on it and breaks it.
If they did a remake in 2024
What is $6,000,000 in 1972 worth in 2024?
$6,000,000 in 1972 = $44,780,437.96 in 2024
The 45 Million Dollar Man !
Six million dollars 💵 was an awful lot of money back then in the early 1970s. In fact it is still a lot of money to must people even today !. However your quoted figure in todays money, would be getting close to the amount needed to create a real Bionic Man 👨. Perhaps ?.....
Considering it costs upwards of a half million for a pair of REAL bionic leg prosthetics, are you surprised? Only the military can front a bill like that
