The Bionic Woman: The Complete Series [DVD]

Favorite show

Check all of the discs immediately upon purchasing them. I waited and four of them would not even play. Before watching the series, I thought that Lindsay Wagner was not as beautiful as the other girls that were all applying for the same actress positions at the same time in the three programs Charlie’s Angels, The Bionic Woman, and Wonder Woman such as Lynda Carter, Jaclyn Smith, and Cheryl Ladd. The pictures of “Jaime Sommers” on the box and on the opening credits do not do her justice. By the time, I watched the episode Biofeedback, I wished that it was me that she was kissing. If I am ever fortunate enough to have a wife, I would love her to kiss me like that! It is a very nicely done show that is family friendly throughout. I had watched it many years ago when I was a small child but I did not remember any particular episodes. I liked the series so much that I also purchased a set for my niece. It is so much better than anything on television these days. I loved watching each episode and wished that there were more. I was sad that I had finished watching the series. Maybe I will purchase the movies also. By the end of the second season she was wearing her hair differently and looked nicer and wore nicer outfits including a jade green one in an episode with Maximillion. I had wished that she would have gotten back together with Steve Austin the Six Million Dollar Man, since she was with him at the beginning of the series in the cross over episodes until she had suffered memory loss. There were some things that were a little far fetched like throwing a stuffed animal teddy bear at a sniper and disarming him. Altogether it is a great series that I would highly recommend to family and friends to watch instead of the programs being created today that all have brainwashing and reprogramming agendas. If you love nostalgia and loved growing up in the 1970’s and seeing the classic cars and enjoy family friendly programming then give this series a try. You will not be disappointed.

Growing up the Six Million Dollar Man was one of my favorite shows and one that my whole family could watch together. Steve Austin fell in love with Jamie Summers only to lose her through amnesia and life threatening health issues if they stayed together. His loss was our gain though because then The Bionic Woman series was born.Although The Bionic Woman makes a great companion piece to the original show it's also an excellent stand alone series. Jamie was and is a great role model for young women doing equal work to her male counterpart while maintaining an independent lifestyle. She had strong values and never hesitated to voice her opinions or concerns when she disagreed with her bosses. Beautiful Lindsay Wagner contributed so much of her humor and gentle personality - not to mention a lot of her boho chic fashion sense which is right back in style again! - so this spinoff of a woman in a man's world had a very feminist edge.The DVD set arrived safely packed and in excellent condition. The outer box still in shrink wrap, and each season's case intact with all of the DVDs attached properly on their individual cards. The only thing I find a little odd is the two sided case liner. The exterior displays the season and description information and the reverse can be viewed when you open the case. This is okay except part of it is blocked by the last DVD unless you remove it. Or you can slide the whole insert out as I demonstrated in my last picture but then you have to carefully put it back to keep it nice. I would have preferred a separate insert, but if that's the worst thing I can live with it!I have not watched every disk yet but so far everything is perfect. If any problems are detected I will update the review but for now I can say highly, highly recommended!

The Blu Ray transfer of this series is nothing short of astounding. It is shown in its original 4:3 ratio and not stretched wide, but large enough on the screen that you forget there are small bars on the sides. The sound is also great. With that said, this series is a classic to us old enough to remember it. While the technology compared to today seems outdated, the stories were way ahead of its time and well made, and the acting was great. Jamie Sommers was the first TV superhero who was female and had her own show. I loved the crossover episodes with Six Million Dollar Man Steve Austin, but that stopped later on in the series. Both shows were on ABC, but they cancelled The Bionic Woman and NBC picked it up. They later added the German Shepherd Maximillian. Max was The Bionic Dog, and as I am a dog lover, made the series all the more enjoyable. The characters of Oscar Goldman and Rudy Wells, and the actors who played them, were the only actors to be on two shows on competing networks at the same time. Their acting, as was all the cast, was great. It was also great to see the old time actors again. They had great guest stars. This collection also includes the three reunion movies that came out later. This set is a must have for your collection.

This off shoot from The Six Million Dollar Man is an excellent collection of episodes to get lost in!
