In contrary to The Six Million Dollar Man, which was a favorite TV show of mine when I was about 10 years old, I cannot remember seeing much of The Bionic Woman! I would not be a good witness in a cold case! Of course I knew of its existence, I undoubtedly have seen some episodes of it, but I cannot remember it. When I purchased the Six Million Dollar Man a few days ago, it was not my intention to purchase The Bionic Woman also. But after this review I began to realize that it would become very handy since there are a number of cross-over episodes, and it is connection, there undoubtedly will be references to on either side, so I decided to purchase the SD on Blu-ray version.
Why did I not purchase the true HD version you ask, because of the steep price difference, plus the fact that I purchased this set as a necessity to be complete in watched everything related to the Six Million Dollar Man. This set was on July 10th, €34.95, the German True HD set was €79.99. The North American set €87.52 and the UK set €121.23! So I reckoned the SD on Blu would suffice. It also is a neat packaging, doesn’t take much shelf space.
As you can see, it is a simple set, 3 discs for the entire series, this is of course possible because the episodes aren’t of HD but SD quality. It has a German and an English audio track, it unfortunately does not have any subtitles on it. Not extra’s and such. A barebones release. It does have nice booklet, which is of course in German, but there are some nice photo’s in it, plus the episode titles are in mentioned in both German and English.

Final Word:
I made a conscious decision to purchase this set instead of the HD versions that are available. Perhaps when I’ve watched all seasons, I might still purchase the HD version and try to sell this one, still, at the moment I am happy with this set, so at least I am able to watch all cross-over episodes with the Six Million Dollar Man. So, at least know you know a bit more about this set, should you wavering which set you want to purchase. Here you can also watch an extensive You Tube review of this particular set.
