Picked up
The Bionic Woman Season 2 DVDs last week. Despite widespread Internet complaints about the audio on some episodes, I haven't noticed anything particularly onerous, or, for that matter, unusual, and I'm more than halfway through the season. Some episodes do not sound "crystal clear," but as this is a 35+ years old show from the 70s Universal TV factory, that's to be expected. Too many "reviewers" online today are young tech-heads with no sense of context or perspective; complaining about muffled audio on a 70s TV show is like complaining that a 30's B-movie is in black & white.
As for the shows themselves, this is the season that
opened with an uproarious, glorious
Six Million Dollar Man crossover, "The Return of Bigfoot" (guest starring
John Saxon!) and contained the ultimate (literally, as it was the last)
Six Million Dollar Man-Bionic Woman crossover epic, "Kill Oscar," which also introduced the fan favorite fembots. In between, we have Jaime posing as a female wrestler, a policewoman, and a nun, and trading darkly humorous quips with
Vincent Price. I'll be posting a full review shortly here and at my
DVD Late Show site. Stay tuned.
