When my friends and I were kids we used to slow motion run because... The Six Million Dollar Man. And, this was taken off the air about the time we were all being born. But thanks to good parenting and re-runs we all knew exactly what it was, and imitated it... ... which had to be great for our parents because (add sound effect) they got to watch us run as slowly as possible and then argue that "You didn't shoot me, I was bionic." But it was cool when it first aired. And it is cool today. And, well, it's just cool. It was one heck of a fun sci-fi show and, now that it is horribly dated it makes it even more fun to watch.

It was the 70s! This was peak TV for 6 year old me once upon a time. The bionics, the sound effects, the slow motion... Yes it is dated, yes I don't care and neither should you. Life was different then and this is soothing nostaligia to a different time. Thanks for the memories Steve (and Jamie)!
