The Bionic Woman aired in 1975, starring Lindsay Wagner, and successfully ran alongside The Six Million Dollar Man, until they were both cancelled in 1978.Not content to fade into retirement after the massive success he experienced with The Six Million Dollar Man, Majors scored another win with The Fall Guy.Majors played the lead role of Colt Seavers, a Hollywood stuntman who also doubles as a bounty hunter.
