The Six Million Dollar Man: Season 5

From The Bionic Wiki

[edit] Overview

The Series Title

The show's final season would run for 21 episodes from Fall 1977 to Spring 1978. With its sister show moved to NBC, there would be no further joint appearances.

The final season would visit the moon and bring back Bigfoot, Death Probe and sport a cameo by Steve Austin creator Martin Caidin. After losing the mustache late in Season Four, Steve loses the parted hair in Season Five in favor of a mod-for-the-time perm.

With a total of five two-parters (six in syndication), the final season sets a record for over half its episodes being extended narratives- not to mention the legacy behind “Bigfoot V” and “Return of Death Probe”.

Replacing Lionel E. Siegel and Alan Balter would be Fred Freiberger (of Star Trek’s final season) alternating with Richard H. Landau.
