She can run faster than 60 mph, bend massive steel bars, jump from insane heights, and hear sounds you can only imagine. She’s no ordinary schoolteacher…she’s The Bionic Woman. Relive the excitement of this iconic TV series starring Primetime Emmy® Award winner* Lindsay Wagner as Jaime Sommers, a woman leading the ultimate double life. After her unforgettable appearances on The Six Million Dollar Man as Colonel Steve Austin’s (Lee Majors) true love, Jaime’s story begins anew in these entertaining Season 1 episodes as she learns to deal with her new bionic abilities, becomes a top-secret agent for the Office of Scientific investigations, and deals with her changed relationship with Steve. Now available in a four-disc set that includes five original episodes featured in the Six Million Dollar Man and a never-before-seen Bionic Beginnings featurette. The Bionic Woman: Season 1 promises nonstop action, excitement, and adventure with the world’s first female cyborg. Review: Joining the Bionic Bandwagon - Like most of the other reviewers here this was a staple of my childhood and a series I've been waiting for years so finally see on a decent quality DVD release. I won't go into what everyone else has said about Lindsay's portrayal of Jaime Sommers. Instead I'm going to do a quick episode by episode rating. Before I do, though, I'd like to ask for some people other than all of us who grew up with this series to weigh in on it. Are we all hopelessly old-fashioned and out of touch for loving this series (like our parents might have loved something from the 50s)? Does it have any resonance at all for new viewers? Are any new viewers even interested? My hunch is...probably not. I actually posted how excited I was on Facebook and there were kids who had not a clue as to what I was talking about. Bionic Woman Parts I & II (****): These are kind of the prototypes for Jaime but certainly not the pilot (there was no thought of her own series at this time). It's basically a Six Million Dollar Man episode where Lindsay Wagner guest stars. Steve finds someone "like" him, falls in love, and loses her. It's kind of his story, really, but I'll give it 4 stars anyway. It's one of his "best". Return of the Bionic Woman Part I & II (***): The whole "love/lost/regain only to lose again" theme kind of grates, to be honest. So does Jaime's completely implausible resurrection and the totally incomprehensible decision of Oscar and Rudy to keep it secret. It's also a very slow-paced episode. It just plods along and is too heavy on the melodrama for me. It desperately needs an editor. Welcome Home Jaime (*****): This episode really sets the stage for it all. Jaime's home, classroom, relationship with Oscar and her dual identity, start here. You can glimpse the beginnings of her love-hate relationship with her own bionics (when they aren't killing her, that is). The story is hers, not Steve's. 'Bout time! Angel of Mercy (****): Its kind of fun to watch Andy Griffith try to be the tough guy. You also start to see exactly how dense the people are sometimes when Jaime is around. It must be because she's so disarming and beautiful that chauveanist characters can't really imagine her actually being able to do something, much less something dangerous. A Thing of the Past (*****): This was a very very sweet episode about a schoolbus driver who witnessed a murder by a mob boss years ago and is trying to hide from his own past. Jaime shows why she's much much more than just an action hero in this one. She genuinely cares about the people she is trying to help. I loved watching her knock the car around on the hydraulic lift! Claws (**): Not so great, though probably rates higher if you are a big animals rights activist. This was one of my least favorites of this season. Everyone was very two-dimensional and stereotyped. It's hard to do something when you have a lousy script. The Deadly Missiles (*****): This is the first episode where Jaime actually gets to save the world, or at least a big city. There's a crusty old friend with whom she shares her secret (amazing what you can do with a hot wire, eh?) and you learn she trusts people implicitly. This will be one of her greatest weaknesses in future episodes, but it makes her more human and endearing and less some secret agent machine. You also learn Oscar trusts her with the big jobs even to the point of forbidding Steve to run to her rescue. Bionic Beauty (****): Alright alright, its utterly sexist by today's standards but its still fun. Watching Jaime's "Mom" (Steve's Mom actually, but Jaime was all but family) with her was a riot. I didn't like the scene where she sang in the talent competition. I thought it was very trite and overblown, even cringeworthy. Jaime's Mother (***): I didn't find the premise at all believable. Jaime sums it up perfectly when she asks this old childhood friend posing as her Mom "Why didn't you just ask for help?" Winning is Everything (**): Sometimes there just isn't good chemistry between Lindsay and her guest star. I think this is one of those times. It's also an example of just how dense this series occasionally presents men to be. On behalf of my species (men) I'm embarrassed for him. Canyon of Death (***): An odd little story about an odd little Native American boy who has no real clue about his heritage and has behavioral problems as a result. Jaime is a much more tolerant schoolteacher than I would have been, that's for sure! Oscar is unusually stupid in this episode, too. And don't get me started on the uber-jetpack. Fly Jaime (*****): I like it because there's a lot of quirky guest stars and the "villain" revealed at the end is actually not who you might first expect, at least not for me (remember I was probably 11 or 12 at the time). Jaime has this snake thing, too. Maybe she inspired Indiana Jonse'? The Jailing of Jaime (*****): Basically Jaime is framed for a crime she didn't commit, thrown in the pokey, and escapes to prove her own innocence. Its a great episode because of how it unfolds. You realize that Oscar consider Jaime much more than just a governmental asset; he loves her like a daughter. Mirror Image (***): This one is kind of a classic from this season but Linsday dooesn't do accents well, I'm sorry to say. Wow everyone was sure taking their stupid pills today, weren't they? Still its kind of cute. The Ghost Hunter (***): I was a little disappointed by the weak finish of Season One. The faux-romance between the scientist and Jaime was much too contrived. It kind of speaks to the 70s scientific mentality that the paranormal can be rationally explained somehow. "Blair Witch Project" this ain't. To sum it up, I give Season One maybe ***1/2 stars. Now I love the series and rate it five-star awesome, but that's because of Jaime and her great chemistry with her supporting cast. One or two people wanted a review a little more episode specific. Hope this helps. Review: Excellent Region 1 Box Release--finally in 2010! - I noticed a lot of these reviews are actually for the old region 2 box sets, or even just talking about the series in general, not the new 2010 North American release, so I hope this is helpful for people actually looking to buy, you know, the actual product on the page: This is an excellently packaged DVD box set which not ONLY includes the full first season of "The Bionic Woman" starring Lindsay Wagner, it ALSO includes the five episodes of the "Six Million Dollar Man" which introduce the character. I hope I don't need to tell you how wonderful the series itself is--sure, some of the premises are a little cheesy, but Jaime Sommers is a relatable, likeable character as fun to watch in dialogue as she is in action scenes, and stories run the gamut from more series espionage tales (rescuing trapped ambassadors in a guerrilla-filled South American jungle) to lighter hearted adventures (Jaime's undercover operations at a beauty pageant), all of which are entertaining. An example of some of the best action TV of the 70s. The special effects are corny compared to now but certainly good use of the SFX technology of the time (and much of the commentary reveals some of the neat tricks they used to pull off bionic stunts in the days before CGI). There is commentary by head writer and producer Kenneth Johnson on several episodes, all of which is extremely informative on both the action on the episodes as well as providing information on actors and other fascinating "behind the scenes" footage. A few others writers provide commentary as well. The extras also include a roughly half-hour interview documentary featuring Lindsay Wagner, Richard Anderson, and other stars and creators of the series, that is well edited and very informative. Video and sound quality are as good as you can hope to get on remastered versions of stuff that was originally recorded on cheap film in the 70s. While there are occasional blips or fuzziness, that's only to be expected--I go away from watching this certain that the restorers did absolutely the best job they could to make the video as clean as possible under the circumstances. It's a fun, heart-lifting series, ideal for people ages 7 to 107, put together in an excellent DVD presentation. I can't wait for Seasons 2 and 3.

One of the best tv series of all time!
I watched The Bionic Woman as a kid in the 80s when it was in re-runs. I absolutely fell in love with this show. The idea of a beautiful, powerful woman who could kick butt appealed to me. And those silly 70s bionic sound effects were just awesome. I would pretend to be bionic as a kid and make those sounds. But what really sold the show for me was Lindsay Wagner. Her personality, charm, and humor made the show something special. I can't think of anyone else who could play Jamie Sommers and pull it off the way Lindsay did. Lindsay just made the role her own. I think what the writers did is make this a show about a character rather than a plot-driven show. That's why, I think, it was such a success. People related to Jamie Sommers and cared about her. I think that's why the new Bionic Woman series failed. Just way too plot-driven and not enough humanity in the show. I sit here watching Season 1 loving every moment of it. I can't wait for the next season. My favorite episodes are: the Fembot saga, the Mirror Image (Lisa Galloway) saga, and the Bionic Dog. But I really love them all. I hope Universal releases the 3 bionic tv movies as well. This show is a testament to what cool sci-fi concepts, good writing, and great acting can accomplish. Kenneth Johnson is the best at this (Incredible Hulk, V) and that's why his shows are such a success. Bring on Season 2!

It's a little over a year since I bought "BIONIC WOMAN-SEASON 1"- you guys like to call them series and here in the U.S. we call 'em seasons. Anyways, I'm still enjoying the pristine quality and remastering of each of the 13 episodes. Playback/Universal has done LINDSAY WAGNER proud! Now, I am awaiting Season 2 which I ordered and can't wait to watch them in their fully restored glory and unedited original form as they were first aired back in the 1976-1977 television season. Lindsay's an excellent actor and was so believable as Jaime Sommers. In the episode entitled "MIRROR IMAGE" where she plays a dual role, the scene in which she meets her doppleganger Lisa Galloway(from plastic surgery to look like Jaimie Sommers,) Lindsay does something to her face to give the Lisa role that menacing look as she turns around from the chair and smiles at the shocked and disturbed Jaimie. Lindsay gives it such a contrast that she is believable as two characters. I've noticed that when Lindsay lifts or tenses her upper lip she can look totally different-at times evil and smug(Lisa)or playful and nice(Jaimie). She put this to greater depth with these two characters in the 2 part episode "DEADLY RINGER," in season 2. And that's what landed her the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a drama series in 1977. All in all, I never tire of watching these 13 season one gems. At least with season 2, I have 22 choices to watch over and over again.

画像は大変鮮明です。 また、「600万ドルの男」で放映された初期エピソートも収録されています。 しかしながら、当然に、吹替えも日本語訳も付いていません。 英語には全く自信の無い私ですので、本ＤＶＤを購入するに当たっては、作戦を立てました。 それは、1話づつ、日本版ＤＶＤ→本ＤＶＤの順に視聴するというものです（笑） かつ、多少なりとも助けになればと、英語字幕もOnにしました。 結果、何とか全話制覇出来ました！ 英語力の向上には役立ちませんでしたが（爆） 【以下は作品についてコメントさせて頂きます】 1977年当時は思い至らなかったのですが、改めて観ると、この作品の本質はアクションドラマではなくヒューマンドラマだったのだと解りました。 （高画質で観直すと、眼の潤みなど、登場人物の感情表現がよりリアルに伝わってきます） うら若き女性が、不慮の事故に遭遇。 重傷を負い、アスリートとしての将来を断たれ、高度な医療技術に支えられて社会復帰を試みたのも束の間。 過去の人生も、幼馴染である恋人の記憶すらも失い、失意の底へ。 その主人公が、故郷のオーハイへ戻り、第二の人生をスタートさせる。 これは再生の物語だったんですね。 彼女の再出発を見守るのは、ゴールドマン局長とドクター・ルディという優しい叔父さまたち。 この三角形が極めて好印象です。 そして、ジェミーを離れに住まわせる、ジムとヘレン夫妻が素晴らしい！ 随所にこの二人が登場するファースト＆セカンド・シーズンの温かさは、特筆すべきものではないでしょうか。 ・Welcome Home, Jaime Part I Part II（バイオニック・ジェミー誕生、バイオニック・ジェミーのお値段） 想い出のアルバムをめくるジェミーの手にそっと添えられた、ヘレンの手。 ジムとヘレンの優しい眼差しは、さながらアメリカの良心と言っていい程です。 ・Bionic Beauty（女王はワシの背に乗って） 美人コンテストへ潜入捜査に乗り込むジェミーに、ヘレンが付添います。 愛娘を見守るかの様なヘレンが、出色の存在感だと思います。 ・Jaime's Mother（バイオニック・ジェミーと母） 死んだはずの実母がジェミーの前に現れ、心中穏やかでないヘレンですが、ジェミーを思いやる心は全くブレる事がありませんでした。 （原語で聴くと、ヘレンの声は吹替えにとても近く、ジムの声は吹替えより低く貫禄があります。） 学校教師として描かれる、生徒や地元の昔なじみとの交流も、このシーズンの大きな魅力ですね。 優れたヒューマンドラマとして評価したいファースト・シーズンです！

Even if this television serie is close to 35 year old the serie was shot on film at that time so the picture quality still very good with a few scene who show sign of picture degradation on this DVD collection. I should say the sound is relatively good if you take into account they where no real surround at that time and home video was just at is begining so you must accept is very good and made for TV viewing. The serie is about a mix of technology , adventure and a great deal of humain touch so it is not the usual high end FX of today hollywood production have access too but i suggest you buy-it and enjoy it. For old peoples that will make so many memories come alive again and for youger peoples to have fun looking at how it was to make Sci-Fi serie on television base more on story than modern FX permit. I have buy season 2 also and anticipate to buy the last season (season 3) when it will become available , Jaime Summer , Steve , Rudy Well , Oscar Goldman there acting still remembered even today ....

En la serie puedes ver como eran los años 70. Una época que jamás he conocido porque no había nacido. En esa época los guionistas tenían mejor imaginación que ahora. Esta muy limitada por los medios de entonces. La mujer biónica tenia tecnología de esa época, que era insignificante comparada con la de ahora. También los efectos especiales están limitados, por la misma razón, era esa época. Ahora se puede hacer eso mucho mejor. Pero la serie es muy original y demuestra que la imaginación, va siempre adelantada a su época.
