AMAZON > PRE-ORDER

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster. Steve Austin an astronaut who crashed during an experimental aircraft test is a man barely alive and clinging to life. At that point the government decided to use secret funding for a secret bionics project to create the next generation of covert operative--an agent with bionic limbs that give him superhuman strength and enable him to run speeds beyond 60 miles per hour, along with a bionic eye that allows him to see details over a mile away. Col Austin awakens after this almost fatal crash to find that he now processes integrated bionic technology. For his second chance at life he is coerced into taking on specialized missions for the OSO (Office of Strategic Operations).

I’m glad I waited — looks like this set has all the extras of the US set plus some. I’m guessing the transfers will be exactly the same.

Honestly I'm still perplexed at the uglyness and basicness of the artwork of this UK set and that for The Bionic Woman. They are pretty much identical to the first DVD releases from the UK. For 150£ you'd think they could come up with something a bit better. Not that the US versions are great but they are certainly an improvement.
Maybe it's the just the ugly logos that pollute the artwork. I mean the fake bluray header, the discs logos and the ratings logo just ruin it. But I am also quite sure they will be thrown into a big capacity amaray case and call it a day.
Happy to be proven wrong.

Based upon their other Universal TV show BDs they tend to be individual plastic cases for each season in a very flimsy card (paper really) outer slip box.

Found out last night (from this month's edition of Legend Lowdown and the new issue of a UK TV listings magazine), that The Six Million Dollar Man is getting a repeat airing on Legend from next Tuesday evening/night (8th August). Shall sample some episodes before deciding whether to get one of the show's Blu-ray boxset releases.

Seems to me like it's the other way round this time, compared to The Incredible Hulk, Knight Rider and Miami Vice (those shows seemed to get a Blu-ray release by Fabulous Films' UK branch first, before getting Blu-ray releases elsewhere. But with The Six Million Dollar Man (and The Bionic Woman), it's seemed to have had a Blu-ray release/Blu-ray releases elsewhere first).

Does anybody know if this set has English subtitles?

I'd assume if it's like the other big Fabulous sets, it won't have any.

[UnionJackMix]

So annoying that I forgot to pre-order this and The Bionic Woman and already weeks ago they jumped up in price. I wonder if I should risk waiting....

Ok, thank you. Perhaps better to purchase the US release, which does have subs and at the moment is cheaper.

Out of Fabulous's complete box sets only The Office has subtitles, the shows from the '70s and '80s don't seem to have them. To be safe I'd probably go with the US set especially if you're saving money. But it's worth checking to see if there's any issues with the set.

I have this set and it does have English subtitles. It also has an extra disc with all the interviews and featurettes that were exclusive to the Timeline DVD boxset in North America. Hope this helps.

That's great news, weird that they're not advertised, hopefully Fabulous continue to include them.

The subtitles are listed on the Fabulous Films site but Amazon UK haven't got them on their product description for some reason.

There were some audio issues reported for the Shout set, has anybody checked to see if they're on this set too? The ones reported I made note of:

Season 1: Day of the Robot from 17:55—19:55, during the dialogue between Majors and Saxon while driving. At 19:55, there is an audible "click" at the point at which the audio returns to it's original, clear state (in the middle of their conversation).
Season 2: The Midas Touch has muffled dialogue throughout.
Season 3: White Lightning War has muffled dialogue throughout.

Had a quick check of the 3 episodes you mention.

The dialogue in Day of the Robot from 17:55-19:55 seems normal and clear to me and there is no audible click at 19:55.

Some of the dialogue in The Midas Touch and White Lightning War seems a bit lower than usual but I wouldn't call it muffled as I can still understand it. I've also watched the same scenes on my Timelife DVD set and the same dialogue is a bit lower on that as well.

So far I've watched the 3 pilot movies, episodes 1, 2 and 4 of season 1, The Bionic Woman and The Return of the Bionic Woman and have been impressed by the PQ and haven't noticed any issues with the sound. I've also watched Welcome Home Jaime on the Bionic Woman set and been equally impressed.

Hi everyone, as a fan who has the German sets (both version), and will order the French one, is there a reason to buy the UK set here? The price just skyrocketed again to 200£...
I don't know yet if I'll get the US set.

[DTSBOY]

The episode very loosely based on the IRA with the IBA and the cod Irish accents is a shocker and a half.

All that was missing was leprechauns and a top of the mornin' quote and they would've had a full set of stereotypes.
