How many of you stopped short of horribly maiming yourself as a kid, because you knew your parent didn’t have 6 Million Dollars?

The 'action figure' was the coolest thing about that goofy show.

Chchchchchchchchhhhhh.... every time I have to lift something heavy! (My kids think I'm crazy)
asleepinthetreestand@reddit
I sometimes go “bopbopbopbop” when I look carefully at something far away….
Illustrious-Cat4670@reddit
Okay Michael
KLLR_ROBOT@reddit
For me it’s either that or “Heee-Man!” whenever lifting heavy stuff

Every day after sophomore year. Go to my buddy's house, rip bongs, turn on hee-man and jam tunes. I didnt have car so Id hitcbhike home. They'd lock your parents up for letting a minor do that today
dperiod@reddit
Heard that in my head and laughed. Perfectly executed!
daisychain0606@reddit (OP)
Hahaha! Me too. My kids don’t get it.

I showed my teen son the intro a few years ago. It still holds up reasonably well for 1973. He liked it.
The novel the show is based upon is one of my favorite books. Cyborg, by Martin Caidin. There are about two or three sequel novels as well.

I made my kid watch the Undertaker vs Mankind cage match it left her speachless.

I will only talk about Steve Austin if we can also talk about Jamie Sommers ..

We recently watched a few seasons of both The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman. I don’t think I watched the latter as a kid, only the former. She was quite beautiful.

Did you see the Sasquatch episode? Scared me as a kid.
cosmic_scott@reddit
that was Andre the giant!
i loved the 'squach episodes!
A_Tom_McWedgie@reddit
Ahem … episodes.
It was a two-parter.
smappyfunball@reddit
They did another episode later, so there were 3 Bigfoot episodes

I wanted to be her soooo bad. I am myopic, so it didn’t work out.
gatadeplaya@reddit
I was heartbroken for him that she couldn’t remember him!

We will build him stronger

Pace maker and organ transplant, way ahead of some you.

MagScaoil@reddit
I often say this when someone asks if something can be done.
rangerm2@reddit
We can rebuild him.

Not with my health insurance!

Stronger…..faster
shawncollins512@reddit
I will turn in my Gen X card now - when I saw Steve Austin I thought of Stone Cold.
edked@reddit
I know who both are, but definitely the wrestler second, whose name I used to think was some kind of deliberate reference to the original. Could never really get into wrestling at all, but learned some names from not being able to talk friends into changing the channel.
shawncollins512@reddit
I tuned out of wrestling way before he came along - I was into it in the early 80s, but I would hear the names of the popular guys.
Magica78@reddit
Stone Cold is the ultimate GenXer. Born 1964, doesn't give a damn what you think, does what he wants whether you like it or not.
daisychain0606@reddit (OP)
I didn’t even think of that when I posted it. It’s hilarious, the confused responses.
havafati@reddit
Had to google that. Never heard of him.
MrsByrne80@reddit
I was fully prepared to make wrastlin’ references, but alas…
classycatman@reddit
The SEVEN million dollar man was where it was at.
Agent564@reddit
I thought this was going to be a 3:16 thread. 😂
Safetosay333@reddit
I was confused at first
Chinacat-Badger@reddit
And that's the bottom line.
Weird-Ninja8827@reddit
Because Stone Cold said so!

Same. I’ve met him, cool guy.

I used to have my Bionic Man action figure sitting next to my Steve Austin wrasslin figure

I was a Bionic Woman boy (gay) all the way!

Astronaut. A man barely alive.

We can rebuild him.

We can make him better than he was!

I always went full send, Stone Cold style! Let the beer numb the pain.

Steve Austin was great and all, but my heart was with Jaime Sommers lol. Had the action figure, the bionic woman beauty salon and the bionic woman board game. I still have my membership card to the Bionic Woman Action Club (and also a “signed” photo)
fatkidclutch@reddit
Do you mean The Father of Texas? I know more about him than that other dude.

Also, explained the mystery of bigfoot. We knew the truth in 1976(ish)

Fembots! Terrifying
Edm_vanhalen1981@reddit
Must see TV for me. Never missed an episode. Also got the cool action figure.
Best TV show opening and theme song.
