VLVL2 (9.5): "Jive Oscar Goldman Frames"

[Dave Monroe]

   "'Now--behind those jive Oscar Goldman shades you
look bright enough to understand that I'm talking
about Darryl Louise." (VL, Ch. 9, p. 166)

"Gentlemen, we can rebuild him ... we have the
technology. We have the capability to make the world's
first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man.
Better than he was before, Stronger, Faster ...".

Lee Majors played Colonel Steve Austin, a NASA test
pilot who survived a near fatal crash and was
reconstructed and refurbished by Dr Rudy Wells at a
cost of $6,000,000. 

Steve was fitted with atomic-powered (!?!) legs , arms
and left eye (complete with built-in grid screen).
I'll never know why they didn't just rip his other eye
out and give him two atomic eyes!

Now bionically equipped, the Six Million Dollar Man
could perform incredible feats of strength and speed
(usually filmed in slow motion - amazing special
effects!).

Steve Baby went to work for OSI (The Office of
Strategic Investigations - a forerunner to the CIA)
headed by the eternally sunglasses-wearing Oscar
Goldman.
