"The Six Million Dollar Man" premieres in 1974

In a sort of "thinking outside the box" type super-hero, "The Six Million Dollar Man" aired January 18, 1974.  It gave rise to "The Bionic Woman", "The Bionic Boy", "The Bionic Dog", etc.  During its run, I heard many critics pan Lee Majors' acting abilities and lack thereof, but Majors did get a Golden Globe nomination in 1977 for Best Male Lead in a Drama. 

This is the only clip I could find from the first episode.  It doesn't have the signature electronic noises for when Austin is using his bionics, but still a good climax scene.  It was remade two years later in "Deadly Missiles" when Jamie Sommers pulls a metal post and its concrete base out of the ground to use as a javelin to destroy a microwave jamming device.
