The Bionic WomanTHE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN series is based on the novel Cyborg by Martin Caidin. The story centers on former astronaut Col. Steve Austin who is critically injured when the experimental aircraft that he is testing crashes on the runway. The U.S. government takes this opportunity to create the world's first Bionic man. Col. Austin's legs, right arm, and left eye are replaced with cybernetic limbs which give him extraordinary strength and abilities. The Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) promptly sends Steve on covert missions, and he becomes an enormous asset to the government. The Universal series also became an asset to ABC-TV. However, after several years it was felt that Col. Austin needed more than weekly missions. So, Kenneth Johnson created the perfect female companion for him--Jaime Sommers. After a tragic skydiving accident, Jaime also received Bionic replacements. She and Steve planned to be married, but it came to pass that Jaime's body rejected her new limbs and she died. ABC realized how phenomenally successful Lindsay Wagner's portrayal of Jaime Sommers had become. So, they brought her back to life and spun her off into her own series--THE BIONIC WOMAN. It debuted in January 1976 and was an immediate hit. The series ran on ABC for two seasons, and was picked up by NBC for its final season. Today, through syndication, THE BIONIC WOMAN continues to entertain audiences around the world.</blockquote>
