“The Bionic Woman” was a spin-off program from ABC’s popular “Six Million Dollar Man.” The main character, Jamie Summers (played by Lindsey Wagner), was injured in a sky-diving accident, and through Dr. Rudy Wells (Martin E Brooks) performed a bionic operation, she died anyway. Another doctor performed cryogenic surgery and brought her back to life-but with bionic limbs. She then became an agent for the Office of Scientific Intelligence.
The Show aired on ABC from 1976 to 1977 and on NBC from 1977 to 1978. “The Bionic Woman” captured the imagination of toy makers, so many collectibles based on the show are available for today’s collectors.
