The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman
Universal has underlaying rights problems with the book "Cyborg" on which the shows were based. Maybe a third party like Shout could more easily cut a limited deal for all involved to get these much anticipated classics out on DVD?

I was thinking of getting the uk versions of these shows but was wondering what the PQ was?   is there any screen caps online?? 

It would be great if "shout!" was able to get the shows and I would like to own these on HD Blu-Ray!  


this is my first post here.

In regards to The Six Million Dollar Man, I hope the 3 telefilms which set up the series prior to the official beginning of the first season will be part of the Season 1 set or released first (before Season 1) as a three-disc digitally remastered set!

The news article on TVShowsonDVD.com said that the 3 reunion movies will be getting released  --  if they're already making sure to release those I can't imagine them forgetting to include the 3 t.v. movies.

Trust me, they aren't forgetting those!

The powers-that-be have been in touch with us at TVShowsOnDVD.com (for longer than you might think ), and have quizzed us at times about what fans are looking for to make these the best DVD releases possible. I can vouch for the fact that mega-fans have been recruited to give feedback directly to the people who will be doing SMDM. And I've spoken (off-the-record) to a person rather close to with the BW project, about some of what that team has up their sleeves.

As a huge fan of the two Bionic series, I'm rather convinced that fans will end up very satisfied with the results of these releases. I can't vouch for "perfection" (someone is always bound to be disappointed somewhere, for some reason, after all), but I am extremely excited about what I've heard so far!!  I can't say more than that right now, so please don't ask.

Blu-ray Discs are not being considered for either SMDM or BW at this time, as far as I know. As the BD market continues to grow, it will probably be revisited on Blu in time to come.  But TV-BD sales just aren't convincing enough yet for many studios, even with big properties such as the Bionic shows.

here is a e-mail got from them Thank you for contacting Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

No plans have been announced for the DVD release of "The Six Million Dollar Man" television series. A multitude of factors, including contractual issues, influence the timing and content of our DVD releases. Unfortunately, no further information is available at this time.

RE: The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman
That's right, etc041...these DVD releases ARE officially unannounced.  And not solicited to retailers yet, either.  And, as I said in my story at TVShowsOnDVD, one or both series might possibly end up getting released under the Time-Life label, rather than Universal's label.  And, as I ALSO said in my write-up, no contracts are officially signed yet, so there's nothing for Uni's customer service agents to tell you at this time.

It looks as though we will be seeing the official release of The Bionic Woman - The Complete First Season in October.  I hope that Universal produces high quality work on this one and gives the fans a remastered set.  There is yet to be an official announcement on The Six Million Dollar Man, however, sources believe the first set will likely be released in October too.
