The Six Million Dollar Man (TV Series) One of Our Running Backs Is Missing (1975) User Reviews

Great & Terrible

[sd72667 · 6/10 · 13 August 2018]

This was one of the best & worst episodes in the series. The plot was either written by a 6 yr old kid or the actors improvised for 60 minutes. Guest stars were former NFL players Mike Henry who was fresh off The Longest Yard, Dick Butkus, Carl Weathers who was about to star in Rocky, Larry Csonka, Tom Mack & Earl Faison. As an 8 yr old kid who loved the Miami Dolphins, I remembered being excited that Csonka was on the Six Million Dollar Man. After watching it again 42 yrs later, it seemed the producers thought it was a good idea to have these guys play a sandlot football game out on a hilly field with tall grass & weeds. It was a predictable ending in 1975 & again in 2018.
