- Jaime Sommers gets her kids respect by showing them what she could do to them if they dont cooperate! it works!!
If you are wondering how this was done, the phone book was baked in a oven untill it was brittle enough for Lindsay Wagner to tear it apart.

I'm 54 years old and I still remember this episode like it was yesterday. And I was absolutely crazy about Lindsay Wagner
I'm 54 as well and I remember this and a whole host of other shows in the mid to late 70's.
@@raymondkizer1216 Most TV shows back then were good, not like nowadays where you've only got maybe 4-5 shows that are good. Reality bullcrap television has taken over, what a shame.
I'm 47 and loved this show, plus here in Sydney we usually got your shows a bit later than you guys made them and then they'd re-run for a while. But as a kid in the 70s I looved this show and looved Bionic woman.
@@charlesparr3296 yes!
I'm 56, so I saw her first!
Of course, kids nowadays would ask, "What's a phone book?"
Yes, I was thinking that, today, she would have to rip someone's smartphone in half.
David Lafleche she would blow up their cell phones with her mind.
Kids nowadays would ask, "What's respect?"
@@stevenwatchorn9816 Lol!!!!
Also they will say "What's a CD?" since they download their music these days. I have nothing against it but it just takes too damned long to get the tunes I want
Jamie : "now, any questions?"
Student: " can I use the bathroom immediately?"
Looks like you already did
I do remember this episode, and even back then I realized 1 thing:
If you have just one bionic super arm and the other in normal it will not be able to keep the grasp of the book while the bionic one pulls it the other way.
Yes, well, the video clearly shows otherwise.
@@sgtkabukiman9411 that's because fiction doesn't care about details like this
I was about the same age as the children depicted in that classroom scene when I saw this episode the first time it aired. Today, over 40 years later, I can recall that scene in minute detail because of how shocking it was to me and my elementary school-aged brain. God bless Lindsay Wagner and her unforgettable performance as Jaime Sommers!!
I remember this episode! So glad I grew up in that era, when television was truly worth watching! Classic!
This is the one scene I have never forgotten!
Which season and which episode was this??
Much better then so called reality TV
@@YoYo_Ma me too my favorite scene sticks in my head forever
1st season, 1st episode
We need this kind of teacher nowadays
No we don't. We don't need teachers who demonstrate brute strength and implied threats to young children.
Thanks for the clip it is one of the best of the entire series.
I loved The Bionic Woman when I was a kid and still do. It says at the top of the page, if you are wondering how it was done, well I wasn't wondering how it was done, that just spoils the magic of the show.
*raises hand
'Uh, Miss Sommers? May I be excused to the bathroom, please?
And to think the children in this episode are pushing 50. Seems like yesterday.
Since I was about their age when this was on, and I am 56, I'd say they are more likely pushing 60!
I did watch the 6 Million Dollar Man, as well as, The Bionic Woman. The beginning of every episode of the 6 Million Dollar Man they show a plane crash (which looks like it's a military plane). This was supposed to be the Plane Crash which eventually created The 6 Million Dollar Man. There's a real Pilot in that footage & much to My amazement, this Pilot survived that horrific Crash. He was a Guest Speaker at My School in the 6th Grade. The point is that I was a huge FAN of BOTH Shows. I'm going 2 be 57 yrs old this year. So that comment about how old the students are in the video 2day are over 50 & closer to 60 yrs old. Lindsay Wagner is 70+ yrs old.
@@amyray63 I think it was one of those test models they used to experiment with back in the late 60s and early 70s. I'm 57 in 2021, but the 70s sometimes seem like only yesterday.
@@thefurrybastard1964 It may have been a test Model but it was a live Pilot testing it. Like I mentioned this real human Pilot was severely injured but mostly broken bones. No head or Major Organ damage. I thought that nobody could’ve survived that crash. It had to be before 08/1974. I moved from New York to Florida that year. The 6 Million Dollar Man (TV Series) was in its first or second Season at this point. But I remember that so many Elementary & Junior High School Kids (& Adults) were huge Fans. I, naturally hated Florida, so I remember this particular School Event quite well. I swear that I truly did NOT believe regular people didn’t actually live in Florida. I just thought that people who worked for The Kennedy Space Center or Disney World had to live there (I was only 13). When I got here I had never been out of New York so when we got to Central Florida and realized that the neighbors to the left were from Huntsville, Alabama & to the right, Lexington, Kentucky. We did NOT speak the same language.
I swear we didn’t understand each other in the slightest. “Y’ALL” just made no sense. We said, “YOUSE” (How Youse doin’?)..
When the Mother from Alabama told me to put something “UP”. I genuinely asked,”Up where?” She thought I was being disrespectful and called my Mom and she asked the same thing. So when the REAL PILOT FROM THE OPENING OF THE 6 Million Dollar Man came to our school standing tall and alive, I was impressed. I’m 57 years old now and I still don’t know what a Black Eyed Pea is; or Chicken Fried Steak! I’m not a fan of GRITS Either! But I’m still a Fan of Lee Majors and Lindsay Wagner. She didn’t do much but I loved her in the Bionic Woman.
Now I’m waiting for the next Matrix movie to come out 2001..lol.
However, I have to say that Kate Beckinsale from The Underworld Movies fit and moved in in the Leather Suit much better than Trinity from the Matrix.
Jaime summers aka Lyndsey Wagner. My boyhood crush.
Mary Ann from Gilligan's island!
Barbara Eden from I dream of Jeannie.
Lynda Carter Wonder Women
Girlhood crush, too.
Man Of Beard I only wish that class could have been joined in by Lynda Carter and Erin Gray
I didnt know she won an Emmy for her role but i agree she earned it! This scene stuck in my head all these years lol
As well as the Incredible Hulk and Charlies Angels, I loved watching the bionic woman and man when I was a kid. So glad there's videos up. I wished there were a lot more uploaded.
if making crossovers would have be a trend like know we would have had a crossover between Bionic people and the incredible Hulk
I was 10 when this came out, and her point definitely stuck with me!
I remember this episode! I was 9 years old! Loved this show as well as the Six Million Dollar Man!
I love the sound of the phone book being torn apart! haha!
A spiritual sound? lol
We need more teachers like this! Respect is no longer a part of the classroom, and needs to be re-instituted!!!
I grew up watching this back in d 70's.. Cnt believe i still could feel the excitement i got back then nw..
"Electronically-enhanced ear"...IMHO, this series at least postulated the cochlear implant.
Zahim Islam I wonder how many people would say that this series partly inspired them to go into medicine and/or engineering
I remember watching that when I was young. She is a beautiful woman and a talented artist. I miss those times.
70s-80s were the best when it came to film and television.
Getting old sir?
best nickname ever
Sure - Back when a bionic woman would spend those millions of dollars on cleaning the house - wholesome womanly fun!
@@simonfrederiksen104 And keeping her yap shut when the men folk were talkin!
@@abundantYOUniverse - Or if she was properly brought up, only speak when spoken to!
Jaime Sommers was the Buffy Summers of the 1970s. Lindsay Wagner was a real beauty in her day and one of my heroines as a young girl. Loved this show!
Gotta say, she doesn't exactly look like chopped liver these days - At the age of 69
Jaime's only bionic arm is her right, therefore, her left arm would not have the strength to hold on to the phone book while the right tears it in half. Regardless, she's a super babe. 😘🌹💜
Bionics machine can work but connected to flesh bad idea. Look at 6 million dollar man, in a cave during the quake, Steve stopped a huge bigger than himself. He would have been squished.
None of the bionic biomechanics make sense. Flesh and bone would be shattered and torn apart by the forces generated.
But hey, fond memories anyway, we all just said hell with it 👍🏼
that makes absolutely no sense. She would totally have the ability to rip the book with ease.
It's a fictional story , superman can't fly either
@@stuartboyd6340 well he can. You meant to say the comic character superman is not real. Agreed.
Damn that's a very beautiful woman
❤ the 70's were cool !
I though she was great actress and I loved her show.
Don't worry we have the technology to rebuild her but she will only run in slow motion
Good for you.
Lindsay's incredible beauty rips your heart in two with the same force that Jaime tears that phone book.
Wow great sound effects. I loved tv in the 70s
Shanil... If u grew up back in those days.. U ll luv d feeling... No mobile, gadgets or any hi-tech stuff.. Just plain creativity n imaginations....
Bring back the 80's for the love of pete!!
Zahim Islam I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s - beautiful times
Zahim Islam , yes ! that is true , i grew up watching the edison twins , mc gyver , the six million dollar man , we never need those gadgets before and it increases our creativity and imagination !
...and lots of reading actual books, writing (no iPads) mailing letters, and lest we forget... The Pony Express!!
My fave episodes are Kill Oscar, Fembots In Vegas, Doomsday is Tomorrow and Deadly Ringer. There were so many. I liked when she was a cop, a flight attendant and Beauty Pageant Contestant. Nutty but I'd pretend to be bionic when I was a kid. My biggest wish was to be able to JUMP! LOL...
Imagine. All the information in all of the books in that room and on the campus could be found in a smart phone today.
Yes but this smart little gadget in our hands has made society so much lazier as a whole. If the entire infrastructure went down, hardly anyone would know how to open up a phone book and find basic information.
@@stacythomas7162 Amen sister!
I can't.
She has my upmost respect! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Idiot
I still remember this episode... Love this
Actually, it isn't as far off as you might think: all her *left* arm has to do is brace the book down (as she does, against her legs) and have her *right* arm be the active force ripping the phonebook *upwards*, as it does in the demonstration. That is, if *both* arms were doing the ripping, the ripping-bias wouldn't go upward, bias right, as it does, but would split in half as a mid-point of *both* arms acting. A subtle distinction, but actually demonstrated correctly in the video above. ;)
My favorite scene from the entire series
For weeks I kept asking my mom how did she do this? When your 4 seeing a thick phone book ripped in high by your hero is a big deal
Beautiful !
Jaime: You're gonna learn a little bit about respect.
Kids: Kuhl, destruction of school property.
get 'em Jamie :) Loved her!
Anyone remember in between the white pages and the yellow pages there was a chart with numerous calendars and you could calculate what day you were born on?
I remember the scene!! I was like yes!!! she's so strong ❤️
I like this episode when Jaimie shows how she can rip up a phone book in front of her pupils
My absolute favorite show as a child
.... and of course her real arm was able to cope with the strength of her bionic arm! You have to wonder how Steve Austen was able to lift cars and jump 50 feet with bursting all his spinal discs.
Im 15 and i love classics and i bet there are others like me out there too.
Now, that is THE way to get the class's attention, rip an 800 page book in half in front of them.
Loved watching the bionic woman grow up.
The sound effects guy first job ever ?
bcherbs Echo canyon mean anything to you?
bcherbs lol
I think so... his next job was the sound of a paraplegic being pushed down a mine shaft...
I woulda ran my ass tf out of that classroom!
t.co/8c7Wz7a4RD 26k range,
ole boi aint runnin no damn where in them church shoes ha!
I was waiting for her to say: imagine if this is your head.
Today she would tear google in halves. Need more teachers like her. She can learn me a thing or two. LOL!
I didn't see this scene,but it looks impressive.
Look at the kid in the front row with the #32 jersey. O.J. was still the man when this episode played.
And a white kid is wearing it.
This reminds me of the scene in *"Forbidden Planet"* where Capt. Adam's, and the 'Doc', are trying to get past, *"Robbie the Robot"* after said robot has, *rendered their "simple blasters", USELESS!*
'Doc', says to Captain Adam's, *"Isn't there a rule that prevents him from wringing our little necks for us?"*
This was my favorite scene :-)
Lindsay Wagner & Lynda Carter were my childhood crushes❤️❤️❤️!!!
"...and when the bell rings, every single one of you go get a f*****g haircut."
one of THE most classic scenes in the series! 71 YO
My better half did this exact thing back in the late 80s.. The secret theory to it is a simple one ... simply obey the wife at all times..🤣🤣
Again proving you have to have even just a smidgen of fear to gain respect.. A delicate balance.
now they got a super bionic ear implant that comeing out very soon this real bionic age is on it way
I was in love with her when I was in elementary school. This brings it all back. What a total fox.
Anyone can rip a phone book in half using the good method, without bionic arms.
I WISH I could do rip a phonebook like that in front of my classes. Cuz I have some bad ass kids this year. The WORST group I've EVER had in my almost 15 years of teaching...and I've had some ROTTEN kids over the years...but not to this caliber. So something like this would certianly come in handy.
On a lighter note, I CAN write on the board fast (not as fast as Jaime of course), which always "amazes" the kids. *shrugs* When you've been doing it for so long, you don't think about it.
@MsTexas73 You can. The trick is to bake the phone book in the oven at low temp so it dries out but doesn't burn. Then the phone book can be torn by a normal person. It's an old sideshow trick.
My God!! If this isn't a threaten, i don't know what threaten is. (laughs)Very good scene.
That's taught me a a lesson.
Billy Babu The story teller
Actually the phone book📖still regularly exist in my country🇮🇹 nowadays.
Respect. So you can fear me.
I was able to rip apart a phone book years ago after I discovered what the trick was in doing it. It did not involve baking it. A guy with average strength can do it very easily.
True! Anyone feeding a 4 color offset press from a pallet will undoubtedly do it by mistake.
Yeah, I did it myself a couple of times, but then they changed the way they bound UK phone books, and they wouldn't "break" like the old ones.
The boys cringing holding there nuts
I have always loved her voice
Who needs guns in the classroom when you have the Bionic Woman?
I hope that got recycled! Lol
Nobody recycled anything in the '70s.
Kids nowadays would say she threatened them, then touched their danger zone.
"throwing a diva shade in a hard way"
when you ain't gettin' your toes curled, but you try to take it out on the class....
problem with this scene is...Jaimie only has one bionic arm...her left arm would have to be as equally strong to hold on to the book while she ripped with her right...just an observation...
Quite right!
...and neither her, nor steve ever throw their non-bionic backs out...ha..
I just wish RUclips or some other website had the original Steve-Jaime episodes (I think it was a two parter?). I'd prefer not having to buy the entire boxed set to get it.
+will bradley i read somewhere once, that because of how the bionics were on the show, it was all physically impossible. apparently, when steve would try to lift up heavy stuff, because of the laws of motion his bionic arms would have been ripped off his body.
+tranurse I dont think it ever tried to be a documentary!
That really got the students' attention
Mark Whalberg is bringing The Six Million Dollar Man to the big screen in 2016. If it does well there will be a franchise created which will introduce The Bionic Woman. The film will be gritty. Mark will play Steve Austin a secret service agent working for OSI. They are introducing this new universe to balance the super hero universe. Lets support this film so that we can eventually get a new Bionic Woman film off the ground.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
NO!!!!!! Iconic characters like the Bionic Woman, the Six Million Dollar Man, & Wonder Woman are so ineluctably linked with the actors who played them that there's just NO POINT in allowing ANY other actors to revive them. It won't work. Look how short-lived the remake of the Wonder Woman tv show was; it failed to attract an audience & was fast cancelled.
Charlie's Angels was adapted to the big screen; how well did it do? Audiences will draw non-stop comparisons with the original actors who made these popular characters THEIR OWN...FOREVER. They are untouchable--like Lucille Ball, like John Ritter as Jack Tripper, like Sherman Hemsley as George Jefferson, like Carroll O'Connor as Archie Bunker....can you just imagine anyone else playing these characters, ever? NO!!!!!! It's as beyond-stupid as re-making The Godfather with an entirely different cast. Leave our classic tv heros/heroines alone!!!
writerforlifeify I agree! Who can possibly imagine anybody but Lindsay playing the role? She made the role her own for all time and She inhabits it so thoroughly that we will always associate her with it that anybody else regardless of how skilled or beautiful or talented they are will always make us uncomfortably aware that we aren't watching the real thing but only a poor version of it!
Yes, and the same can be said about Lynda Carter; that is the reason an attempt to revive 'Wonder Woman' as a tv series with a different actress was cancelled so soon after it aired. Tv audiences didn't accept (whatever her name was) as Wonder Woman & the lousy ratings reflected that.
Remember 'Three's Company'? And 'The Jeffersons'? John Ritter was born to play Jack Tripper. And no one could embody George Jefferson like Sherman Hemsley.
+writerforlifeify If you're talking about the TV pilot from 2011, I didn't think that made it to air. But despite that, it wasn't simply love of Lynda Carter that made that particular pilot sank. I saw a review of it and...well, I think it's failure was more to do with them literally taking the magic from Wonder Woman, apparently ripping of Grant Morrison's Batman International, making Diana a complete violent PSYCHOPATH, and the writer seeming to have some awful pro-vigilante agenda that he drops on the audience's heads like an anvil. They just missed everything about the character in general, and a lot of other things too.
She's having that " Not so fresh feeling time of the month moment" right now !😂
@shwmehvn fyi it's not per say. "per se" is a Latin phrase meaning "in itself". Nice inside info on the episode though. Cheers
The phone book was a paid actor.
But of course Jamie only has one bionic arm so how does she power through with both arms. I remember Steve Austin doing the same trick.
As a kid I never thought about that stuff. Today, my suspension of belief just can't get past it. Still like the shows, just not as much.
@@kyokogodai-ir6hy I've always been a skeptic. Never believed in Santa or any of that. I remember being told the fat guy was coming down the chimney at 3yo and not going for it. Professional wrestling was real however.
Basically it's about applying leverage... focusing from her right arm, she gripped the left hand side a little tighter each time the right hand pulled back. Once she got past the phone book's spine, the right hand did the rest. Plus Jaime always worked out for Dr.Rudy Wells. Like Steve Austin maybe she physically adapted, maybe a slight natural strength increase.
@@davidmccarron2903 ya that's the ticket, leverage, ya and elbow grease, ya, ya that's the ticket. She is one fine babe in Rudy's gym. I always knew I had a chance with her as long as she couldn't remember Steve.
@@sluggou812beotch good, and intelligent men always got her attention...classy lady who is still very much alive...saw her in a episode of Comic Book Men last year. Big fan of the Silver Surfer...God! I miss both Richard Anderson and Stan"The Man"Lee!
The days when TV was shot on film and the actors did the lip sync in the studio. Now you would have 3 kids with cameras with onboard mics.
I WOULD'VE HAD NO PROBLEM RESPECTING MS. SOMMERS AT ALL.SHE WOULDN'T NEED TO TEAR THE PHONEBOOK IF I WAS TAKING HER CLASS.I WOULD RESPECT HER 100%.
As a little girl in the 70's I admired both Farrah and Lindsey for beauty, poise, and strength. I had a huge crush on Lee Majors. Awe, the good old days
Lindsay during the Bionic Woman period was THE MOST GORGEOUS woman on the earth
Oh yeah, Farrah Fawcett was the girl you'd jack it too, But Lindsay Wagner was the girl you'd marry ❤️
Well, I never had a teacher rip a phone book in half. But I I remember in the 2nd grade I did once have a substitute teacher who started the class by slamming a huge dictionary down on his desk. It got everybody's attention, and I guess it established the fact that he wasn't there just to babysit.
I've always loved this scene.
Works a helluva lot better than Common Core.
Ace and respect. Love Lindsay Wagner ❤😊
' best behaviour, lads-stow it!'🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Given the implosion of land line phones, anyone can tear a phone book in half now.
Just got thru watching this episode. It's the series premiere Welcome Home Jaime on the NBC app.
At 1:25, I think the kid with the blue shirt (and no jacket) was the same kid from the movie "Return From Witch Mountain".
Brilliant memories...
She'll tear a living child in half if she has to.
Fine, Jamie, but that phone book is coming out of your paycheck.
One of the kids was the main kid in 1978's The Swarm.
