The 12-episode series was originally scheduled to be available in Canada on DVD & Blu-ray in October, but that release has been delayed until February, 2012.
The show, which was a variation on the Six Million Dollar Man formula by way of H.G. Wells (co-produced by the bionic franchise's own Harve Bennett), cast McCallum as Dr. Daniel Westin, a researcher who is permanently rendered invisible in a lab accident. This makes him an ideal covert agent, and he's soon going off on secret missions with his supportive wife, Kate (Melinda Fee) for a private think tank called KLAE.
As a kid, I really enjoyed the show, and am looking forward to revisiting it on disc.

I always thought it was pretty cool that he was married. Having a married hero really cuts into the standard damsel in distress stories and forces the writers to into new territories often unexplored.
ReplyDeleteI caught this on SciFi back in the day and it was pretty formulaic but there was one nice episode featuring a black secret agent whose name McCallum had to clear and he apparently was the only one who ever seemed genuinely amazed by the invisibilty. He had a bit of dialogue along the lines of "HFS! You're really invisible! You're not just clouding my mind with ESP!"
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get this along side Logans run the series which has been announced for April :D
