    Re: The Six Billion Dollar Man (2016)

    I'd see it. I loved the TV series. I think a rebooted TV series would be a better idea though. I like this idea. I should be a good movie. Better than "Ted", I hope. We'll see. It came before my time, but the original was a great show, I'm told. "Family Guy" did a parody of the into once in an episode once. I wish this movie nothing but success. I plan to see this movie.

    The Doctors: Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the word's 1st bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

    The Bionic Woman TV reboot on NBC was a tremendous failure though. 7 years dead. I can't believe its been that long. That series was cancelled after 9 episodes.

        Correct. That plane crash really messed him up. Do you plan to see the movie? Is a TV show a good idea?

            I even still remember the Mad Magazine spoof on the original TV series:

            "Six Million Dollars!?!...... Man!!"

            Lee Majors even spoofed himself at the beginning of "Scrooged".

              You're right. My mom loves that movie. Bill Murray at his best.

              TV announcer: Psychos seize Santa's workshop.
              Lee Majors: Eat this.
              TV announcer: And only Lee Majors can stop them. "The Night the Reindeer Died".

                  What would 6 million get you nowadays? An arm, super hearing, maybe throw in some Google glasses?

                  Love the show though. Not sure a show would work, there was one about robots on Fox the other season and that didn't do well.

                    Yeah, neither did The Bionic Woman on NBC back in 2007. 9 episodes and it died.

                      Check out this rare clip from the old show. Andre the Giant as Bigfoot. Lee Majors fights him.

                          I think I saw a zipper on the back of Andre's costume. Also, the special bionic sound of leaping 2.3 feet over the ground fissure was not necessary.

                            Really glad this is finally going to get done, Wahlberg as Austin sure beats the hell out of Jim Carrey going bionic
