loving this find on youtube titled Six Million Dollar Man “The Secret of Bigfoot” featuring a young lee majors and a young andre the giant as the mighty bigfoot. nothing more i need to say. just watch the radness. it’s just enough to make you want to start sewing your own bigfoot costume (if you haven’t done so already).
UPDATE:
more rad bionic bigfoot clips in the comments section …
This was one of the defining events of my childhood.
I remember this SO clearly. And they had the spinning ice tunnel that’s in one of the bigfoot episodes at the Universal Studios tour too.
yes, yes, and yes! as a kid, i was fascinated and equally terrified of bigfoot. seeing the six million dollar man talk to and eventually pal around with the mighty bigfoot was somewhat theraputic for me.
i think they milked that spinning tunnel effect for everything they could. seem to remember it in other shows too.
have any of you seen the Venture Brothers cartoon that re-connects Steve Austin with Sasquatch? funnnyyyyyy …..
Holy Crap! This episode scared the crap out of me as a kid. In fact, my father bought some 45 by some folk guy singing a song called “Bigfoot’s comin’ gonna get ya, gonna get ya” I used to be scared of the song too.
I never knew it was Andre the Giant, how ’bout that - thanks for this!
I have not yet experienced Venture Bros. but am told I MUST. It’s on my list….
furiousball -
i will not sleep until i track down that song! that reminds me of another bigfoot related post i have to get to …
maskatron -
no Venture Bros? well, at least i know what to get you for your birthday (it’s waaaay better than harold & kumar go to whitecastle - i swear)
so good.
Me and my brother were out in our back yard slow-mo fighting with EXTRA intensity after this particular episode. (We must have looked like sawn-off tai-chi masters)
i think more bionic bigfoots are in order. this time it’s a three parter. all episodes from the Six Million Dollar Woman/Bionic Woman. no andre the giant this time. but plenty of great dialouge. big thanks to drewshi on youtube for posting these! enjoy!

Man, not only do you have bionics and bigfooot, but Sandy Duncan and John Saxon to boot. I’m suprised our 1977-era televison didn’t melt from the sheer awesomeness.
People were surprised that Lindsey Wagner won an Emmy for this role? I’ll be running in slow motion with sound effects for the rest of the weekend!
That was awesome!
Sorry that some of the clips no longer work. Apparently, a “third party” claimed I was violated copyright. People have asked me to post entire episodes, but I never have. I figured the brief scenes, while promoting the show, were under fair use. Oh well.
no need to apologize john - thanks for the clips! they made my day. in fact … i’m gonna watch what i can now.
