'The Six Million Dollar Man' Opening Narration Quiz

Answer:

'The Six Million Dollar Man' was an American science fiction/action series that ran on ABC from 1973 to 1978 for five seasons and a total of 99 episodes and 6 TV movies.

The introduction combines Harve Bennett's grim assessment (a man, barely alive) with Richard Anderson's positive, upbeat prospect of keeping Austin alive (we can rebuild him). This contradiction sets up the premise of the series: NASA test pilot Steve Austin, critically injured in a crash, and his superiors rebuild him using cybernetic technology, costing six million dollars, a massive sum at the time.

Austin receives two bionic legs, a bionic right arm, and a bionic left eye. In return for saving his life, he works as a secret agent whose missions include sabotage, rescue missions, and espionage.
