Dailymotion comes through for me again in that they have episodes of these two series from my youth. The Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman followed the adventures of Steve Austin (Lee Majors) and Jamie Sommers (Lindsay Wagner) the first two people to receive bionic implants that enhanced their strength, speed, and other senses.
The Bionic Woman was actually a spin off of SMDM. What happened was that Steve had reconnected with his old flame, Jamie Sommers, only for her to be injured in a parachuting accident. Steve then pushed for Jamie to get bionic implants, which she did. The two of them then arranged to get married. However, Jamie's body ended up rejecting her bionic implants and she sank into a death like coma, seemingly never to recover.
However, audience demand made them bring Jamie back. She was saved, however, she lost some of her memories, including those of her romantic past with Steve. Although the two of them would work together, things never went back to the way they had been before.
The two series often crossed over with each other and Richard Anderson, who played their boss and friend, Oscar Goldman, appeared on both shows.
After both shows ended, there were some reunion movies. The first revealed that, as some point, Jamie regained her memories of her relationship with Steve and was upset that he never told her about them. The final movie finally had Steve and Jamie get married.
So, has anyone else seen either of these shows.
BTW: There was a Bionic Woman reboot on, about ten years ago, starring Brit Michelle Ryan. Due to a number of circumstances, including a strike by the Writer's Guild Of America, the reboot didn't make it out of its first season.
