Lindsay Wagner and Lee Majors Together Again

I loved Lindsay Wagner and always hoped that she would have a better career...

Now I'm thinking of that song Lee Majors sang as background music

They look great in that photo. People looked better then. More natural, sexy. Bionic!

Same here, R1.

God, I used to love The Bionic Woman. I used to jump around making that noise that always sounded whenever she did anything bionic. I was obsessed.

She looks great.

[polite whisper] it should be "a photo of HER and costar Lee Majors"

That's Emmy winner Lindsay Wagner, 1977 for Best Actress in a Drama. Bionic Woman only ran for two seasons.

WOW, they both look great.

I loved Lindsay, loved the character too. Ironically, she became more famous than Lee Majors did in the Six Million Dollar man. He was nice to look at in the daddy bearish kind of way, but not a friendly kind of guy.

He looks like Bob Newhart, now!

I LOVED Lindsay Wagner in Bionic Woman.

I'm still more famous bitch!

The Bionic Woman ran three seasons, not two.

The show is probably my favourite series of all time.

Is he still gay?

Lee Majors used to provoke the most unclean thoughts in my head in my younger years. I fantasized of doing vile things, VILE THINGS I TELL YOU, with him.

Well, there was precedent.

He was a "discovery" and former "protégée" of Rock Hudson.

Not without reason...

Lee was one of my first jerk off fantasies when I was a kid.

I loved his furry chest. I wanted to bury my head in all that! Looks like a nice bulge in the one pic above too! My mom always said he had a bad nose job.

I love me some Lindsay Wagner. When I was a little boy I used to jump off of shit and pretend I was Jamie Sommers. I was so serious about it too. Like it was real.

She looks fucking fantastic!

I so wanted Jamie to get her memory back and marry Steve!

Gurl- how can you forget this?

Great theme song, still one of my favorite show openings of all time.

My young gay heart would have exploded if this had actually happened in 1977.

As a gayling I loved Wonder Woman and The Bionic Woman. Something about gentle spirited strong women. Oddly enough both shows had lots of gay actors as guest stars.

They look like twins in r10's photo.

I love that the Mad Magazine parody was called "The Moronic Woman."

[quote] Lindsay Wagner shared a photo of she and costar

Good Christ.

For the millionth time, when speaking of more than one person, eleminate the other in order to know which personal pronoun to use.

"Here is a photo of she and her friend "

Eliminate friend.

"Here is a photo of she."

Is that correct? Of course not.

"Me and my friends went to the beach."

Eliminate friends

"Me went to the beach."

Is that correct? Of course not.

"Paul and I went to Las Vegas."

Eliminate Paul.

"I went to Las Vegas."

Is that correct? Yes.

R13. Wikipedia says the show was on 1976-78. That's two seasons.

Lindsay's competition when she won the Emmy: Angie Dickinson (Police Woman), Michael Learned (The Waltons), Kate Jackson (Charlie's Angels) and Sada Thompson (Family).

I remember there being some some shock that it was Lindsay who got the prize.

Lee Majors still wishes Lindsay was Rock Hudson.

I made my Mom buy me a denim esque leisure suit so i could look like Steve Austin

In the end, we all wind up looking like women.

I have never heard that rule, R28. Thank you!

R30, though I totally disagreed with him, I remember the guy who wrote the book on the history of the Emmys said he considered Lindsay's win for BW the worst win in the award's history. (Given that he said this years ago, I wonder if he's since changed his opinion.)

I thought Lindsay did as much she could do with a sci fi drama. role She was pretty damn good making Jamie real.

I think she won for an episode set in a mental hospital. Screw that critic! Sci-fi and fantasy always get screwed at awards time. That win was deserved.

And god's did I love The Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman. Man started out semi-serious and just got crazier and weirder. Aliens, Bigfoot....no, BIONIC Bigfoot! A bionic dog! And the Fembots! (Only as an adult did I figure out the likely reason he made them all female. Ew!)

R29, you're right. I guess technically it's 2 1/2 seasons, the first running from January to May of '76.

Regarding her ex-husband's negative comments about her, she was working, as he admits, 17-hour days. That makes a relationship pretty tough. It's the same reason Lee Majors and Farrah Fawcett divorced.

Sada Thompson was screwed!

I was trying to find the clip online of the episode she won her Emmy for. She was locked up in jail because her lookalike, Lisa Calloway, had her people make the switch. Wagner is phenomenal portraying Jamie's mental breakdown. The show wasn't considered serious drama, which it isn't, but I dare you to watch the episode and say she doesn't deserve the win.

Does anyone else remember Helen Hunt as a princess from another planet?

That how really went off the chain. And I love it for that.

I think there was a writer's strike, so "The Bionic Woman" redid a "Six Million Dollar Man" episode almost word for word. It was like "Lost" where the plane went down on an island. In Steve's episode, he had to right the fake skin off of his bionic finger in order to cauterize a wound or something.

In Jamie's copycat episode, she had to do the same exact thing. The whole episode is using the $6,000,0000 Man script with the Bionic Woman.

Or, actually reading up on it, ABC wanted "The Bionic Woman" as a series immediately, so they redid that Steve Austin episode to get it quickly on the air.

Excerpts from the Deadly Ringer episode...

Clip

"Steve Austin is the Bionic Man.

Jamie Sommers is the Bionic Woman.

Steve and Jamie are running in the wind.

A bullet is coming.

Jamie is frightened."

A VERY short story written by my six year old niece during the original run of these shows.

R23 / R24 Yes! to both of you. I was born in '81, so I depended on the reruns, but I twirled and jumped with best of them!.

Loved Linda and Lindsay. Still do.

I had a two bionic woman dolls when I was a boy. The one where she had the warm up suit and the woman ne with the blue jumpsuit- mission purse! I also has 2 Steve Austin dolls, a fembot, bionic Bigfoot, oscar Goldman and maskatron.

Six year old me is very envious of you right now R47!

I had my She-Ra and Wonder Woman dolls!

Underrated actress

Still counts as three seasons, babe.

There were fembot dolls!¿!¿!

Did Vince Van Patten fuck Farrah or Lee?

Farrah played tennis with Vince and his family. They were good friends.

The Fembot episodes scared me as a kid. When she ripped off the face of that Fembot at Callahans apartment....I couldn't sleep for days.

wow, r55, you were a little pussy. i guess as a child it scared me too (pussy).

Three seasons, bitches!!

They both look fine but I don't recognise either one of them.

a bit younger here

That has to be an old picture, he doesn't look like that now.

Funny how you never ever hear mention of Lee Majors' other hit series from the '80s, "The Fall Guy." After being canceled by ABC in 1986, it basically vanished off the face of the earth -- I swear I haven't seen a single rerun of it since its original network run.

Reminiscing tonight.

Why tonight? Did one of them die?

No, but Lindsay's going to be on Grey's Anatomy pretty soon. Speaking of her acting ability, I'd give the edge to "Tomorrow is Forever," the two-parter where Jaime's trying to prevent a machine from causing a nuclear holocaust. Most of part two is her matching wits with the machine, and it's nail-biting.

I disagree, r64.

I love these clips.

I think it's unfortunate that the series, despite being a hit virtually out of the gate, still ended up only lasting two seasons. I've no doubt we missed out on a lot of great episodes that would've come out of a good 5-year run.

Ah yes, Lee. Few have catapulted as far and as high from the cushions of the casting couch as Lee!

Tacky hack bitch stole my Emmy that year! I got Aaron Spelling to drum that cunt right off the network!

Three fucking seasons, r67! Three!!!

She should have been in good dramas. Something besides the Bionic Woman and the mattress commercials.
