"The Bionic Woman" premieres 1976

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.

"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.
