I rewatched the first Venus death probe two-parter a while back (yes, another one appeared for a sequel). I didn't think it was THAT horrible, as far as 70s TV goes. Yes, it was one of many shows shot on location in SoCal, and it was a bit padded, but it was a bionic man fighting a Venus death probe! C'mon! That's…

Because that makes Bigfoot that much more awesome.

I too remember Charo. Also, she is a talented flamenco-style guitarist. Maybe she taught Steve Austin.
