One of the best childhood memories of being a kid in the 70's with CHiPs, Six Million Dollar Man, Dukes of Hazzard, and so on. Being a kid in the 70's was an easier time.
The Six Million Dollar Man and Bigfoot- Lee majors Interview - Behind the scenes- #CLASSIC TV 0922am 18.8.24 he just fought robots in the main...... even his mentor the likeable Oscar ended up being impersonated by a robot. the doll you could buy of the faux stave austin had interchangeable phyzogs of Steve Austin and Oscar.....
Your absolutely correct, no one could've pulled it off better then Andre, did you know while in the bigfoot suite, he used his own hair, no wig, his real foot prints were used, size 24s!, they were also used in the pilot episode of The Incredible Hulk👍✌️
Loved this series when I was a kid. Purchased the 5-season w/Bionic movies DVD set. Steve Austin, Oscar, and Rudy were all my favorite people. All the Bigfoot episodes, Death Probe 1, when Steve was lumberjack, and when he broke-up the moonshine operation are some of my favorite episodes!🤩
Here in Britain,the whole series of The Six Million Dollar Man has just been shown on the channel 'Legend'👍 This is the first time I have seen it since I was little in the 70's when it was originally on. When that ended,they have started with Episode 1 of 'Knight Rider' and I'm loving that too🫡
@@simonlunt353 It's awesome!! I haven't seen any episodes in Decades...but I STILL remember the very FIRST episode, and HOW He took care of business too..
Lee you’re a treasure ! As a kid growing up in Australia in the 70’s I watched this show , 1/2 scared but intrigued at the same time . Wonderful memories.
I was such a fan of this show when i was a kid in the seventies. Me and All the other guys in my class were excitedly talking about the bigfoot episode for months leading up to, and following. Almost all my friends had the six million dollar man action figure.
Watching this episode as a kid in the '70s on a 19 inch TV screen was pretty exciting! Now as a 58-year-old man on my 65 inch TV screen is really something special!
When you're 9 years old watching Steve and Bigfoot, there's nothing more exciting. When I watch that show today, I still can't figure how they did all those great stunts.
Check out TVCrazyman he points out all the goofs and tricks in the stunts. It’s hilarious. One old trick was to jump down from a height and reverse the film to make it look like he’s jumping up super high. 😂
Growing up The six million dollar man was one of my favorite shows. The Bigfoot episode was my all time favorite!! Sure loved Speed Racer & Gillian’s island
I remember the dizzying tunnel at Universal the first time I went through it as a teenager. Of all the things I saw at the studio, that impressed me the most, having seen it in the Six Million Dollar Man and then being affected by it in real life. Nowadays they have (or had, as I haven’t visited LA since Covid) the 3D King Kong experience in the same spot, which admittedly is an even more impressive attraction.
I love Lee Majors!! He is so handsome!!! I watch The Big Valley whenever it's on!!!!! Love him.on, The Fall Guy, The Six Million Man!!! He is so fine!!! Miss you on tv!!! Hope you come back to tv, it woild be great!!! 💪💪💪💪.... 🌹🌹🌹🌹....
Andre, the giant used to fly on my airplane often when I was a pilot for Piedmont Airlines. He is literally gigantic but a wonderful person. He even dated one of our flight attendants. I miss him. I was always happy to see him and he called me by my name.
Loved this show so much as a kid i tried picking up heavy things making the bionic noise with my mouth and it didn't work. I broke one of my mother's favorite plates , my mother chased me ..oh how i wish i had bionic legs that day.. 🏃♂️
I remember as clear as day, watching the episode when Sasquatch was first shown in full view, my legs started shaking uncontrollably!! I was probably 9 or 10. From that day on, I was afraid to go in the woods!! Andre in costume is still a sight to see!!
This episode was so fun to watch and then go out and reenact it with my cousin and little brother. We lived on a huge 500 acre farm with several creeks running through the woods and we loved playing The Six Million Dollar Man and Bigfoot at the creek!! This episode was amazing and was my very favorite part of the entire series! I had the Bigfoot and Steve Austin action figures with the actual bionic parts in the body parts! This series was a huge part of my childhood growing up in the mid 1970’s at the age of 5 years old. Great memories
The spinning tunnel was one of my favorite parts of the Universal Studios tour, since at that point 6MDM had only been off the air for about 5 years and I could easily remember the episodes. Our tour group was also captured by Cylons ;)
I shook the hand of Andre the Giant at a match in my home town and was in the film Keaton's Cop with Lee Majors, that was filmed in my home town of Galveston, Texas, also! Met Lee and Abe Vigoda. I'm in a scene with both of them.
The three episodes, I remember the most distinctly were the Bigfoot episode the Venus rover episode, and the robot episode where the face comes off… All terrifying to a young kid… At least at the time.
Seriously! I saw an interview with a friend of his who said that one time when they went out to dinner, Andre drank like 120 beers while they were just hanging around, had wine with the meal, cognac with dessert and never got more than a happy buzz. Wow!
I remember Andre did the first two-parter. He wasn't available after that so Ted Cassidy did the next two-parter that crossed over with the Bionic Woman. Cassidy also returned for one last one part Bigfoot episode with the Six Million Dollar Man. I always thought the Bigfoot episodes, especially with Andre, were- pardon the pun- the height of the show. And the idea that he was an android or bionic created by aliens was the best explanation ever for the existence of Bigfoot.
I love hearing Andre stories. Almost every wrestler from that time period can tell you some incredible Andre the Giant stories. Mostly about his eating and his drinking.
I used to love this show back then. I'm 58 years old now and watching this video, I had no idea that as Andre the Giant. Not that I would have known back then who he was.
The Six Million Dollar Man and Bigfoot- Lee majors Interview - Behind the scenes- #CLASSIC TV 0927am 18.8.24 y'see.................... i am now left to wonder after his diuretic episode why or how he never managed to get to the lav without literally pishing himself.... was the mystery ever solved?
@@bmoshareholderappleshareho855 I remember the one episode when a tornado was coming and Steve got everyone into a rail car..I lived in tornado alley back then..this episode really hit me back then
@@bmoshareholderappleshareho855 The Six Million Dollar Man and Bigfoot- Lee majors Interview - Behind the scenes- #CLASSIC TV 1803pm 29.9.24 cool you can recall specific episodes. i aint seen the show since it was initially aired. just been watching his lecherous nibs via the tv show ash vs evil dead... the ketamine party my fav episode... as for fall guy - so-so... could have been a better show. they were churning it all out in that era, though... knight rider, fall guy, dukes of hazard, love boat... you name it... masses of fantasy quick wit...
I was born in 65, and this Show, back then was everything...All my friends and I loved this show. I remember when Ryan O'Neill Stole Farrah Fawcett from Steve Aus...I mean Lee Majors...I was thinking what an Arse Face for him to do such a thing.
bigfoot kept the catering company on their toes. that alone was worth watching this. so glad I was a child in the 70's. pre internet and fantastic entertainment.
My dad was a cop and friends with Terry Gordys brother back in the territory days we had different rasslin shows every other week in Chattanooga they would always call my dad to pull guard and he would bring me I was just little and in the back with the guys and their families every time andre came to town i got to ride on his shoulders down to the ring every time ill never ever forget that thanks for the memories big guy a gentle giant with a bigger heart rest well young sir and thanks for the memories
Loved Andre The Giant in Both Wrestling and aka Six Million Dollar Man's First Bigfoot! Ted Cassidy aka Addams Family's Lurch Played A Great Second Bigfoot as well! Wish Both Bigfoots Could of Been A Together Team in a Wishful Episode! God Bless The Great Lates: Andre The Giant and Ted Cassidy! I Still Miss Them Both!
I watched this show religiously as a kid. Bigfoot was their jump-the-shark episode, crazy but fun! The freaks in the modern entertainment industry could learn a thing or two from how TV and movies were done back then. They were so much more fun than the woke crap that gets churned out today. Make Entertainment Great Again!!!
Bigfoot was Andre the giant?! i never knew this before. I just know as a young kid, bigfoot in that show really creeped me out. lol Back then i didnt even think about, WHY is Bigfoot in this show? Seems odd now days thinking about it. Of course, back then there was also the "BigFoot and WildBoy", which was a live action show part of that changing series of different little stories that featured I think Shazam and Isis and another of a superheroine team. Then there was "In Search Of: with Leonard Nimoy" and they had shows about bigfoot and other cryptids and legends and UFOS stuff. There was even a movie documentary about BigFoot back then, so i guess it was just a big thing at that time period.

This was a great era for TV shows like this

And The Bionic Woman! 😁😋👊💥💯
Yes, it was a wonderful period, especially the early 70's.🙂
70's sure was!! Please dont leave out the Incredible Hulk 🙂

Do you remember some of the other comic book tv series Spiderman in the late 1970's?
Six Million Dollar Man vs Bionic Bigfoot is peak 70s TV!
One of the greatest shows of all time. 👍👍👍
God bless Andre. No one could play Bigfoot like him. He's wonderful!!! ❤️🙏🏼 Rest in Peace 😔
Your absolutely correct, no one could've pulled it off better then Andre, did you know while in the bigfoot suite, he used his own hair, no wig, his real foot prints were used, size 24s!, they were also used in the pilot episode of The Incredible Hulk👍✌️
except ted cassidy who was only an inch shorter
Kevin Peter Hall, Rest In Peace with Andre.
@@KevinGonzales-ko8qxKevin Peter Hall was really around 6'10" not the purported 7'2".
Andre the Giant was Awesome! Best Bigfoot of all Time!

From a great era of TV. This was a extremely popular 📺 episode
Loved this show when I was a lil kid.
There has never been a greater show than this.
There was nothing more 1976, than the $6,000,000 man and Bigfoot.
Yes! For me as an 11-year-old it was The Six Million Dollar Man, Evil Knievel, Saturday Morning Cartoons and KISS! Boy was I a happy kid.😃
I so get that.
And Evel Knevel
@@tanthony3895 The snake river canyon was Evels Heraldo Rivera moment

As a child watching this back in the 70's this is pure gold!!
God bless both Andre and Ted, who both gave us classic moments in tv history. They were both amazing people.
Watching this episode as a kid in the '70s on a 19 inch TV screen was pretty exciting! Now as a 58-year-old man on my 65 inch TV screen is really something special!
Lee Majors & Andre 2 absolute legends
What great stories. Lee Majors tells then well. Both great guys. Thanks for sharing ❤

Love ya, Lee! From a 70s kid to now, you're still my hero! Oh, and I love that joke about the diuretic! Lol.

One hell of a show and hell of a time period

Seriously! I saw an interview with a friend of his who said that one time when they went out to dinner, Andre drank like 120 beers while they were just hanging around, had wine with the meal, cognac with dessert and never got more than a happy buzz. Wow!
I was determined to shake Andre's hand and I did after a match he had with Maniac Mark Lewan.
In my opinion the greatest tv show ever!
R.I.P.: Andre the Giant 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
Now over 30 years since his death, I'm still missing him today(said in tears).
Seeing this episode as an eight year old boy scared the crap out of me and scarred me for life.😁
You must have watched too many episodes of Mr Rogers! 😁
@@vinylman6580 That's probably it.
What a gentleman. Lee... thank you for some of the best childhood memories.
Loved this show but I never got a chance to see this episode. 😅
It was a two part episode. The big foot was very scary.
I like him on The Big Valley. It's nice to see hear him. ❤
Beautiful story !!
Andre was the man. I grew up watching him on this show and watching him wrestle, and on Conan and The Princess Bride. Rest In Peace 🙏, Andre.
Andre was a Giant in so many ways. R.I.P. big man❤️
I remember Andre did the first two-parter. He wasn't available after that so Ted Cassidy did the next two-parter that crossed over with the Bionic Woman.

One of my favorite episodes in the series as a kid I was captivated.
I loved those episodes!! Also Stephanie Powers was in them. I think she was an alien
Wow he looks great in this interview.
This show was huge back in the day. We all waited for that famous opening. "Nasa to NASA 1.... roger. BPS arm switches on...
Who else could have possibly played Bigfoot, other than Andre The Giant? He was absolutely perfect for the role!
Im57 & i remember rhose episodes of bigfoot beyond vmy favorite's those were the days 💯
. My favorite episode 💯💯💯💯
A case of beer to Andre The Giant was like two or three beers to regular people
Try half a beer. Andre would drink gallons of beer along with pints of hard liquor in one day
The alien craft from space episode scared the crap out of me as a kid!
Class 😊

these episodes scared the shit out of me as a kid
I watch this show every time it's on.
Lee looks great...
Big Foot and The Prob was the best episodes
I've recorded every episode on legend what great tv
he looks great for an 80 year old man
He really does.
No man alive has been married to hotter women.
He's 84 now,not sure when this was made?
Most men don't look that great in their 80s.

I had no idea Andre the giant was bigfoot on that show
I've learned that Lee Majors did 90% of his stunts. This was a Sunday Night Favorite in '76! Show was cancelled in the spring of '78.
to this day ( i'm 54 years old) i'm still terrified about the Bigfoot episodes . ( i believe there were 2 or 3 episodes).
I heard that Big Foot tried to play Andre the Giant.
My childhood hero lee majors
Enough said ❤
THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN...A TV EPISODE THAT INSPIRED A GENERATION OF MEN 👍

Great video but I would skip the Universal Tunnel because I had two horrible bouts with severe vertigo.
I'm sure that fight is funny to kids today but back then it couldn't be more thrilling
I had recurring nightmares of big foot for years when I was a kid. Terrified me.
The 2 koolest tv kats...William Shatner and Lee Majors 💪💪💪
The sound effect what was it?
I think I still have the action figure 😆😆
Maybe I’m not sure

Captain James Tiberius Kirk wasn't played by Lee Majors. He was played by William Shatner.
