Six Million Dollar Man Reduced to $49.95


Some of you may remember Lee Majors. He portrayed astronaut Steve Austin in the popular ABC TV show “The Six Million Dollar Man” from 1974 to 1978. In the series Lee is an astronaut who crashes and has his right arm, both legs and left eye replaced by “bionic” implants which significantly enhance his strength and running speed. His legs give him reported 60 MPH speeds (which the TV showed as slow motion running). Now Lee apparently has a new gig and instead of $6 million dollars - bionics now cost $49.95. Introducing the Lee Majors Rechargeable Bionic Hearing Aid.
