the first movie was a major ratings success and was followed by two more made-for-tv movies in october and november 1973 as part of abc's rotating "movie of the week" series. the first was titled "the six million dollar man: "wine, women and war"", and the second was titled "the six million dollar man: "the solid gold kidnapping"". the first of these two bore strong resemblances to caidin's second "cyborg" novel, "operation nuke"; the second, however, was an original story. this was followed in january 1974 by the debut of "the six million dollar man" as a weekly hour-long series. the last two movies, produced by glen a. larson, notably introduced a james bond flavor to the series and reinstated austin's status from the novels as an air force colonel; the hour-long series, produced by harve bennett, dispensed with the james bond-gloss of the movies, and portrayed a more down-to-earth austin. (majors said of austin, "[he] hates...the whole idea of spying. he finds it repugnant, degrading. if he's a james bond, he's the most reluctant one we've ever had.")
