The Six Million Dollar Man
The TV movie-of-the-week The Six Million Dollar Man airs on ABC, starring Lee Majors, Martin Balsam, and Darren McGavin. Based loosely on the 1972 novel “Cyborg” by Martin Caidin, this movie begins the story of bionic man Steve Austin on television, and proves to be popular with the TV audience. Two further movies will follow in 1973 before a long-running series begins in 1974.
