It's a shame they couldn't have done a straight chronological run. I guess some of the episodes are too weak to sell themselves. DVD 1 has a robot (albeit one constructed by aliens) and another bionic man. DVD 2 here has 3 robots all built by the same mad professor. Surely there must have been other plotlines - or is that just the mists of time deceiving me? It's still 6MDM, though. It's still got the best intro sequence of any TV programme ever, the great music, cool cars and a man who can still look like an action hero whilst wearing a pink safari suit.

Were there really that many robots?

This is the first time I have seen 6MDM since the 70s. I wanted to know why the slow motion effect was so convincing at portraying a man running at 60 mph. Having seen it in the cold light of adulthood, though, I realise it just looks like a man running slowly. Your childhood illusions have already been shattered by the write-up in DVD 1, which explains that Lee Majors has had to have both knees replaced. So now you can't escape the realisation that it's a man running slowly, wincing and holding his knees every time he has to jog downhill or jump off a fence.
