Review: The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman Complete Collections
Words can not even begin to describe how happy I am that Fabulous Films have released both The Six Million Dollar Man AND The Bionic Woman Complete Collections on Blu-ray. I could just post a photo of my smiling face as I cradled both boxes in my arms…surrounded by love heart emojis.
Growing up I WAS Steve Austin, to the point of wearing double denim, running around pretending I was hitting 60mph, and then using my bionic vision to look at things in the distance…all while making that iconic “bionic sound” of course.
I don’t even need to describe what both series are about, as if you grew up with them you’ll more than likely be just as enthused as myself that both these series are on blu-ray in their entirety, and if you are of a younger age, then you have such a treat in store when you finally get to watch them in these releases.
Not only are both series presented in their entirety and looking better than ever…which means HOURS worth of viewing. They are also both loaded with special features that are hugely informative and entertaining…all adding immensely to the world of bionics that I hold so dear. Never has a box set excited me as much with both its core content AND such an incredible amount of special features to watch and enjoy…many of which are new and weren’t included on the previous DVD releases, so a great reason to upgrade.
Buy both and the content included will see you right through the rest of 2023 and beyond…just take a look below at what you get.
The perfect Christmas present for loved ones…or a great treat for yourself.
