Bionic Columbo

In lieu of any actual content today I'll post for your perusal something I noticed a couple of weeks ago. First, a screenshot from the opening title sequence of a childhood favourite The Six Million Dollar Man ( 1974 ).......


and from the "A Stitch in Time" episode of Columbo from 1973.........


Nice to see Hollywood was ahead of the recycling movement!

Hi.
Sorry to spoil this, but the surgery scene was used first time in the Six million dollar man pilot episode named "The Moon And The Desert," in 1973. Not 1974.

Nothing here to "spoil", Anonymous. I was just pointing out the reuse of footage - not which was first. Your absolutely right that the first Six Million Dollar Man TV movie was in March of 1973. Since I don't have the show on DVD I played it safe and quoted the start date of the regular series - 1974.

The Columbo episode this was also used in was broadcast in February of 1973, a month before it was first used for the bionic man's surgery scene.

Thanks for the clarification.
