LuckyMcSwervy 0 #1 August 22, 2013 I did NOT know the Bionic Woman pounded in on a skydive before she got all bionic! She broke herself on a skydive. No shit!! Did you know this?? I'm watching The Six Million Dollar Man and tuned in just as they were leaving a Cessna for a 2 way. Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LuckyMcSwervy 0 #3 August 22, 2013 I thought I saw every single one when they were new! Maybe my memory is going? I'm 45 now. This episode says 1975 and I was 7 or 8 years old at the time. Loved this show!! Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
