The Six Million Dollar Man

Kill Oscar: Part 2 - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: When Lynda is about to run Jaime over, she is shown staring at her from inside the car. However, in the point-of-view shots from Lynda's perspective, both women appear to be standing at the same eye level - which is inconsistent, given that Lynda is still seated. It's only later, when Lynda steps out of the car, that they are actually face to face at the same height.

Operation Firefly - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: As Doctor Abbott sits in a chair before Steve breaks through the window, Abbott's hand is by his head. The scene cuts; now he has an open book in his lap. Another scene cut, and the book is gone.

Population: Zero - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Steve props himself against the back of the armored car with his arms folded and legs together stretched outwards to wait for the bad guys to drive up. When they do, Steve is now sitting on the rear bumper of the armored car with his legs spread and his hands on his knees.

Trivia: Longtime TV actor Lee Majors was extremely influential in the overall development of the "Six Million Dollar Man" series. Although he had already appeared in the 3 successful made-for-TV pilot movies in 1973, Majors was very skeptical of entering into a weekly series, and he wanted a guarantee that the show would not devolve into a campy superhero series (like "Batman"). Majors further stipulated that there should be no blood and no violent death on the show. Executive producer Harve Bennett, producer Kenneth Johnson, and ABC Television immediately agreed. Majors also thought the original "Six Million Dollar Man" theme song (sung by Dusty Springfield) was embarrassingly bad, so composer Oliver Nelson wrote the iconic instrumental theme for the series. Two years into the hit show, Majors then became concerned that his character, Steve Austin, would be perceived as gay because he never had an onscreen love interest; so Majors essentially demanded that a female character be added to fill that role. The producers complied without question. According to Lee Majors: "People were really getting to the point where it was like, 'When's this guy [Steve Austin] going to come out of the closet here?' That's when we brought in Lindsay Wagner to be the first love interest."
