Six Million Dollar Man
Jan. 28th, 2020 09:24 pmEarlier last week, I was talking with my co-worker about television shows. I'm not sure how we got on the topic, but I was telling her about watching reruns of "The Six-Million Dollar Man" on COZI, a cable channel that runs 70's TV programs.
"Who?" she asked, clearly demonstrating her early 30-something age.
After explaining it to her, she seemed to vaguely recall "The Bionic Woman" and that was the end. Over the weekend, I was watching more re-runs and just happened to find the show in a box-set, which included the three made-for-TV reunion movies, one of which was an introductory role for Sandra Bullock. I bit the bullet and ordered it. With my Amazon Prime membership, it was here in two days.
When I opened the box and examined the DVD cases, several pieces of plastic fell out of it. Of the six cases, three of them had been broken, despite having no damage to the shipping box or outer box. I couldn't see any damage to the DVDs, but I admittedly didn't check them all. If I could have replaced the cases, I would have, but it's those that have separate "pages" for pair of DVDs and there are six per case. After a quick FB poll, I decided to return them and reported the damage.
Amazon allows you to return the goods to a local Kohl's, so after a workout, I drove to the nearest one and stood in line to send it back. When I got to the counter, the guy running it was a 60-year-old comedian and another apparent 30-something lady.
"How cool! The Six-Million Dollar Man!" the man said, following the statement with his rendition of the mechanical bionic noise... "Chuh... Chuh... Chuh... Chuh..."
"Who?" said the lady co-worker.
The comedian and I together looked at her with disappointment in her lack of pop culture knowledge.
My replacement order should be here tomorrow.
