It was a made for TV movie... been (re)watching Six Million Dollar Man
piecemeal the past couple months... once I get through Bionic Woman
going to do the TV movies.

They recently did a US BluRay release of Six Million Dollar Man and the
Bionic Woman is out in a month or so... will probably rip/encode from
the newer source and continue watching from that.

I haven't watched much in reruns, but i recall the Bigfoot episodes, the Mars
probe and it's successor, and the story arc where people were being replaced
by robots. The robots were dead ringers, except they were heavy AF. that
was their giveaway.

I recall Andre the Giant as the first Bigfoot, and wasn't the second time he
appeared played by Ted Cassidy?
