Col. Steve Austin
Lee Majors
Lee Majors’s Col. Steve Austin made The Six Million Dollar Man a national slow-motion language — 1970s catalog cyborg adventure, better-stronger-faster as a family-hour religion. The Bionic Woman and The Fall Guy kept the jawline in franchise weather. TV Flash still hears the sound design whenever a stunt wants to feel expensive.
Lee Majors plays Col. Steve Austin on The Six Million Dollar Man, the 1970s catalog astronaut rebuilt as ABC’s missions-and-merch machine. Slow-motion as a national language, Oscar Goldman handing assignments, a bionic origin that taught Saturday to sound like hydraulics. Majors sells sincerity inside the science-fantasy — not a wink, a jawline.
The Six Million Dollar Man (ABC, 1974–1978) holds Majors as Col. Steve Austin — named, weekly, not a prestige drop-in. Enter at s01e01: Population: Zero opens Caidin's Cyborg as ABC family-hour adventure. Majors already rebuilt; slow-motion sound design is loading into a national. The desk does not need a biography; it needs the hour Lee Majors actually changes.
The Bionic Woman shares the franchise with Lindsay Wagner’s Jaime; The Fall Guy later tips the hat to stunt people as Colt Seavers, truck jumps included. On TV Flash Majors is 1970s/1980s action craft — Austin as the lede, spin-off and bounty-hunter encore as the long game, still the reason slow-mo feels like a theme song.
Do not skip The Bionic Woman. Majors works it as Steve Austin, not a guest drop. Start that title at s01e01 — Welcome Home, Jaime (1) flips the Six Million Dollar template. Wagner's tennis-pro rebuild as federal agent: female-led network action that stood. Majors does not visit this floor; he works it.
The last stop the desk bothers to print is The Fall Guy as Colt Seavers. Start that title at s01e01 — The Fall Guy is Majors charm as the title job: bounty hunting between takes, Larson's truck jumps included, theme song already a time machine. s01e06 still shows a later grip: The Human Torch is early-run stunt title: action TV tipping its hat to the people who hit the ground, not only the star who walks away. Majors does not visit this floor; he works it. Three climates, one last name: the desk keeps Majors as range.
