News: THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN Season 3 DVDs Coming in February

As reported over on the indispensable TV Shows On DVD site yesterday, Universal will be releasing the standalone DVD set of the classic middle season of The Six Million Dollar Man to retail outlets on February 19th, 2013. For fans like me, who couldn't afford the exclusive Complete Series megaset from Time-Life, and have been patiently (and often impatiently) waiting for the individual seasons to be released, this is great news!

Season Three features the classic return/resurrection of Lindsay Wagner as Jaime Sommers (and the set includes the relevant Bionic Woman episodes) and the introduction of Steve Austin's most iconic adversary: the Bionic Bigfoor (Andre the Giant)!

Bonus features in this set include audio commentaries by producer Kenneth Johnson on those fan-favorite episodes. The 6-DVD set is priced at $39.98 SRP, and can be pre-ordered from Amazon at a discounted price here:The Six Million Dollar Man: Season 3

I'll try and stay on top of this eagerly-anticipated DVD release; Season Two was available several months before its official release date as a Best Buy exclusive. If that turns out to be the case with this 3rd Season package, I'll try to give Space: 1970 readers a head's up.

  1. I have one more episode to go in season 2, "Steve Austin, fugitive" so news of seasons three release is welcome news, I bought season 2 early at Bestbuy so I hope that trend continues again! I'm still trying to figure out how I was such a Bionic fan when I was a kid because I honestly don't remember watching most of these episodes some 35 years later, although the Bionic shows were never really syndicated do that probably has a lot to do with it. In really enjoying them though, the simple straight forward charm of them is wonderful!

  2. Sweet! It's about time. Too bad there's no director's commentary.
