The picture quality on these are excellent, in comparison of the DVD's, which were essentially original broadcast versions that were mildly cleaned up at the time. These are solid HD quality, with excellent colors, with some minor grain intact. With only 4 episodes per disc, it allows for a higher bitrate with a good sharp picture. Definitely highly recommended for the fans of both shows!!

I'm very interested and you sold me on this, but the crazy price is holding me back.... Six Million Dollar man was probably my favorite show as a kid growing up in the 70's, but I haven't watched it since. The nostalgia is strong with this one. But before I shell out 200$ I need to be pretty sure it's holding up for me.... at a lower price point I might have taken a chance.

Thank you for this review; I GOTTA HAVE THESE SETS!!! Grew up with these shows, so they are warm and comfortable memories. (Though I was a bit put off when THE BIONIC WOMAN switched networks, making it so neither show could mention the other, and Jamie would hook up with a guy who wasn't Steve, which was anathema to my sensibilities. There's probably a psychiatrist treatise in there somewhere. ) I have the Time-Life DVD set that came with the special box, that recited the opening credits monologue when you open it. ("Steve Austin ... astronaut ... a man BARELY ALIVE!!!") So I will be more than happy to upgrade the discs. But, By Jupiter, I am keeping the box!!!

Audio is still a mixed bag, but I think Shout Factory (or possibly Universal) has done some post-production tinkering to try to levelize things a bit. Those issues are baked into the source, though, so it's an incremental improvement rather than a total fix.

@@CerealAtMidnight Hey Heath I must say that you did a fantastic job on both SMDM and BW and I must say that I will be getting SMDM for Christmas and BW for my birthday but I have to give Shout Factory allot of credit for taking on both of these iconic tv shows and one thing I love about their company is that they know how to negotiate and close deals and who would of thought they they would have team up with Universal Studios to deliver the goods and boy did they. I know that allot of people had complained about the audio issues with BW which was the same problem that Timelife had and its a shame that Universal didn't try to deliver quality masters which shows you how cheap they are but thank God for SF hopefully Universal Studios will license more television to SF because they know how to deliver. I pray and hope that they will get Knight Rider to see how that would work in getting a interview with Michael Knight himself. Buck Rogers would be another interesting release even though Kino had releases it already with Erin Grey and Gil Gerard interviews and hopefully they could persuade Universal Studios to obtain the original two hour episode of Flight of The War Witch and not the two part version. Bj and the Bear and Lobo I would love to see but the sky is the limit whenever you get the chance do you think you can post some images up of both series just to see how the picture quality looks that's if you have time. Oh the original Battlestar Galactica from the 1970 I would love to see SF get. You have heard a man trash become another man's treasure.

They should make a half hour sitcom with Lee and Lindsay reprising their roles....call it "Still Bionic"...I could see it airing on CBS....I am serious.

Why do you think the price point is pretty similar on the two sets when the bionic man has more seasons? Kind of makes the bionic woman set seem out of whack on price. I did purchase the bionic man set one of the Blu-ray discs has visual round shape scratches on it but seems to play fine. Have you had this happened to you before? Is there any recourse? I really hate to go to the trouble and bother of returning the whole set over one desk your thoughts?

I don't know why Shout has priced the sets so similarly. Shout Factory seems to set retail prices higher than other distributors because they market their releases as premium products. Maybe they believe that charging less than the $30 difference for The Bionic Woman devalues it, or maybe they have more invested in that series, which may sell fewer units than The Six Million Dollar Man. Less units sold means more revenue needed per sale. Just speculating! The round scratches likely come from the replicators. When the discs come off the presses, they're stacked on spindles before being packaged. Sadly, I'm seeing more scratched discs as fewer replicators handle more volume. If you're concerned about playback and if you bought through a major retailer, I think they'll send you a replacement.
