The Six Million Dollar Man : Season 2
-
Air date: 13 Sep '74 - 22 episodesThe first full-length season of The Six Million Dollar Man ran for 22 episodes during the Fall of 1974 - Spring of 1975. In this season the sounds used for bionics would be standardized and the main title sequence would see its biggest revision, bringing it to its most familiar form. A good twenty seconds longer, the new intro struck a different tone from its predecessor. Notably, Oscar now addresses his audience as "Gentlemen," the famous "wireframe" graphics are first seen, Oliver Nelson's score dominates the final stretch, and the final freeze frame used for the show title is more centered and better illuminated, and would become the standard title for the show from then on (a vestige of the original is seen in the end titles, superimposed over the Season One freeze frame for all five seasons). For some reason one Season 2 episode, "Pilot Error" was produced using the Season 1 version of the credits, except with slight alterations to the sound mix and a different musical flourish at the end. Replacing producers Sam Strangis and Donald R. Boyle would be Lionel E. Siegel and Joe L. Cramer. Recurring characters introduced would be Barney Hiller, Kuroda, Audrey Moss, Oscar's secretary Peggy Callahan, Steve's stepdad Jim Elgin and, most importantly, Jaime Sommers. Expanding upon the success of "The Coward" and "Burning Bright", a number of episodes focused more on characters than bionics or spy plots. Standouts include "Straight On 'Til Morning", in which Steve comes to the
