Great Guest Stars and good stories from the 70's....The Best Sci Fi Show on TV in 1977-78
The best of the episodes in this set are the Bigfoot ones. What I like about these collections other than the terrible packaging....the discs are all on one spindle....that there are so many good guest stars. Elkie Summer, Vince Van Patten and Bigfoot portrayed by Ted Cassidy (Lurch on Adams Family)...there is good roster of fantastic guest stars. You can't go wrong with a set like this because the guest stars are properly utilized and aren't just walk on roles for stunt casting purposes.If you like Six Million Dollar Man, you are in for a treat because this set has crossover episodes from the Bionic Woman too. The shows crossed over for episode arcs and it makes the set complete when the stories are presented uncut without having to purchase the Bionic Woman DVD's.If you don't want to pay the 300 plus dollars for the Time Life version of this set of DVD's, getting them at this price is much more economical. I have been purchasing the sets separately on Amazon and it's much cheaper. Now if only they would have US versions of the Bionic TV movies, I'd actually have a complete set. Anyway, be prepared to get DVD holders for this set. The spindle they are packaged in isn't the best and will not last over time. I'm surprised that the manufacturer hasn't changed it by now. The content presented in this set is perhaps one of the best seasons of six million over the last season.

The Original Steve Austin
This TV series is a favorite for decades for science fiction and spy warfare fans of all ages. Lee Majors stars as Steve Austin(not the pro wrestler) who was nearly killed in an aircraft accident. The U.S. government likes his military skills and pays for the surgery to replace his permanently injured limbs and eye(not both) with bionic technology that exceeds all human capability. Now he has super speed(60 mph running), super strength,(app. 1 ton lifting), super punching and kicking power, and super leaping height(dozens of vertical feet). Telescopic vision is another honorable mention. In this season Steve teams with his girlfriend Jaime Summers(Lindsay Wagner) who is also bionic to defeat a group of super robots with similar abilities. Other favorites are when Steve must fight the Death Probe, a military tank like vehicle designed for space travel with armor that Knight Rider would be proud of! My personal favorite, included in this collection, are the Bigfoot episodes. Steve meets an opponent even he is not stronger or faster than. His fights with Bigfoot, often played by the late Andre the Giant of pro wrestling fame, are science fiction legend. If you like X-Men or other "superhero" style action with a slight James Bond twist, this is an all time favorite amongst fans of the genre. Enjoy!

The Six million Dollar Man overpriced for the packaging
I bought this as a Christmas gift for myself and when I finally opened it on Christmas Day boy did I get a shock when I opened it and saw all discs were on one spindle rather than in their separate places on case and trying to get them out I was worried that I might accidentally break them as I have only the use of one hand to handle them So I hope that when they release the fifth season I they won't do this again and if they re release this season they find more adeque packaging take into consideration for people with physical disabilities ( ha ha no pun intended the show is about a person who got injured and got rebuilt and I with my disability).The show was great and I loved it very much and glad it is now on DVD finally. I also grew up watching it and it was great with both the crossover episodes and the two partners and the movie length episodes and you could tell that they didn't like the moustache cause it was very noticeable in the first part of the season then towards the middle the end of the season it started to get smaller then at the end of season it was totally off. Yay!!!! So if you like the series then get it to continue the series just for that alone .

Despite the Disco Hair, one of my favorite seasons.
I have wistful nostalgia for the 6MDM and my childhood: I was allowed to watch syndicated reruns of 6MDM if I was well behaved and this privilege was revoked on occasion. To lose both 6MDM and "The Incredible Hulk" watching privileges meant I was a particularly awful child.As a grown man, I revisited the series and was surprised at how well the program was done, given the budget, production, and technology limitations of 1970's television. By season four, The Six Million Dollar Man had hit its stride and the crossover Bionic Woman story arcs were well written. All the familiar hallmarks were there: Sasquatch, Fembots, the Venus Death Probe. I've now watched the first four seasons. I shudder to think how the fifth season went, most likely with budget cuts and "The Fred Silverman touch" that afflicted many NBC series and drove away writing talent.Highs: Venus Death ProbeLows: Disco Helmet Hair and that "Chester the Molester" moustachePackaging was similar to other Universal products: a stack of DVDs on a single spindle in a double thick DVD case. Thankfully not on the "hinged pages" that has all of the discs fall off and get scratched/damaged.

return of bigfoot part 2 sound track better than Time Lifes version
I was very disappointed when I received my set from time life the only episode problem was the soundtrack to the return bigfoot part 2 was badly muffled, I just saw the syndicated version running currently on that new channel and the soundtrack was perfect other than being horribly edited why can't universal fix this track. Obviously there is a episode out there with a decent soundtrack.Poor music of Joe Harnell created just for this episode is not the way it was broadcast the first time you can't even hear the tinkle bells used in so many b/w episodes,even a sci fi channel version has a perfect soundtrack once again just heavily edited not only that Jaimie's jumping noised are badly muffled too what a shame this was an exceptional episode and my favorite.I doubt they will fix it.UPDATE: OTHER THAN THE LOUSY PACKAGING THE SOUNDTRACK WAS DEFINITELY IMPROVED THAN TIME LIFES VERSION.
