As I have previously reported, I was, and am, a huge fan of The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman. After championing the cause of seeing these shows released on DVD after years of legal entanglements, I announced recently that such red tape had been worked out between the warring factions (Universal and Dimension) and these iconic programs were set to be released in late 2010. We now have release dates and specs on both. The Bionic Woman – Season 1 will be released on October 19th, 2010, with the following content:
• All 14 first season episodes, including five crossover episodes from The Six Million Dollar Man
• Bionic Beginnings Featurette – featuring a new interview with star Lindsay Wagner
• Episode Commentaries by director Alan J. Levi and writer/director Kenneth Johnson
• Gag reel and photo gallery
