The Six Million Dollar Man spinoff series The Bionic Woman premiered January 14, 1976, starring Lindsay Wagner as Jamie Sommers in the title role. The Bionic Woman was an episode of the Six Million Dollar Man, in which Steve Austin (Lee Majors) visits his home town and rekindles a relationship with his high school sweetheart. Jamie is seriously injured in a skydiving accident and is given life-saving cybernetic implants, known as bionics.
She had meant to be in one episode but it was so popular, she was given her own series. The Bionic Woman lasted only three seasons but Lindsay Wagoner won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
