I am catching up.
These Bigfoot episodes are truly awful. It's like a totally different show.

Security within the OSI seems pretty lax on the whole.
Okay, having a 'celebrity' astronaut that some people recognise isn't the best idea when it comes to being an undercover agent. But I can let that go... not everyone would know who he was. How many people, even in the 70s, would recognise Harrison Schmitt, or Gene Cernan - the two astronauts who spent the longest time on the Moon?But for Steve to agree to do TV spots and promotion for the Big Brother foundation, without consulting Oscar first, is just reckless. And to bring an unruly teenager, a walking security risk, into the OSI offices is simply ludicrous.
That episode was a classic 'we've used up this seasons budget' season finale episode.

Just to add to the confusion with Legend using the wrong number for the season, the episode numbers will be wrong as well. Nightmare In The Sky is episode 2 (of season 4) but Legend have it listed as # 3, as they have the Bionic Woman Bigfoot crossover episode listed as #2. Though to be fair the BW episode is usually shown as being a $6M Man episode in syndication.
Anyone found out what they’re doing with “Kill Oscar” yet? If they show all three parts that’ll throw the episode numbers out even further…..

Clearly 'picture in picture' technology must've been the latest special effect during the filming of the return of bigfoot episodes.

You can tell this is a Bionic Woman episode. Although they've replaced the Bionic Woman opening titles with that of the Six Million Dollar Man, the 'guest starring' credits after that are in a different font, and Lee Majors is credited as a guest star (meaning Lyndsey Wagner doesn't get a 'starring' credit at all).
I never realised how bad an actress Lyndsey Wagner is/was. And she has a very annoying voice (though not as ear-splittingly annoying as "GILL-ian").

Why is Rudy Wells getting information about volcanic eruptions? Is that part of his job description?

The budget was not blown as all the flying sequences were either in a mock up or stock footage of Military aircraft. The only actual flying was a light aircraft being taxied at the end.
The bad neighbourhood looked just like one in New York City. They must have just missed Sam McCloud on his horse.

Farrah returning to the same role, clearly the Wikipedia page has it wrong then:-
Note: The first of four appearances that Lee Majors' then-wife, Farrah Fawcett Majors, made on the show. She appeared in each season except the final one, playing a different character each time.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Six_Million_Dollar_Man_episodes

At least this time she was reprising a character instead of playing a completely new one with the same hairdo.

Steve Austin was calling the projection a Holograph, not a Hologram. Did the name get changed later.

As I said earlier I’m a few episodes behind, what was the point of Jamie appearing for a few minutes at the start of the Russian gymnast episode, it added absolutely nothing to the storyline. And why do so many syndicated versions seem to lose any precredit sequence they may have originally had?

I think just to remind us it's a 'shared universe' and a nudge to watch The Bionic Woman which was running concurrently with the £6M Man at that time.

Love this series, part of it was just the casting, you look at Lee Majors and think "Yep, I believe this was a guy who flew fighters in Vietnam, was an Apollo astronaut and test pilot". Although you do wonder how he keeps going undercover when he was an astronaut who walked on the moon? Surely he's a national figure?

Another episode starting with a warning about 'dated attitudes and language that viewers may now find offensive'.
I assume it was the comedian's joke about the man with no legs? Pretty tame I'd've thought.

At last! A quicksand scene.
Funny how that metal-coiled rope transformed into ordinary rope as Steve ran with it.Shoehorning his wife into an episode again, this time even more gratuitously. Didn't Steve think the 'actress' in the magazine looked a tiny bit similar to four other women he knows?

As with the musician, the comedian had an act that was out of date even for the time. When Steve Austin was doing his pool ball crushing act. I thought they should form a double act. They could be the American Mike and Bernie Winters.

Syndicating a Bionic Woman ep as a $6M Man ep was a perfect way to confuse new viewers who were unaware of the shows history. As previously pointed out, no credit for Lyndsey Wagner and Lee Majors making a “special appearance” in what appeared to be his own series. Plus the different theme tune on the closing credits.
