The band and orchestra combination was FANTASTIC! The violins and violas (possibly also cellos) were performing at almost warp speed along with awesome horns and a seriously smooth bass player.

The computer chirps at 2:32 are the same note and tease that magnificent bionic power up sound which is to happen at 2:38. Amazing pluck bass and theme music!

I would have to say the original Thunderbirds is by far the best.

Loved this show as a kid. That opening was fabulous. My dad and I were once a week to view the next episode.....we would get to the TV 5 minutes early so there was time for the TV to warm up......vacuum tubes and all.

It's just pure awesomeness. To this day, and forever the absolute best opening of any show ever. Goosebumps every time.

The Bionic man vs Bigfoot fighting each other while space aliens were watching them on their flatscreen TV was the greatest moment in television history. I don’t think I slept that night. What a time to be a kid.

Me too. It was also very timely as the first heart transplant had taken place in 1967, closely followed by the moon landings so medical and technological advancements were a hot topic at the time. Brilliant tv.

I absolutely loved this series of the six million dollar man Lee Majors played the part so well as Steve Austin great times 👌

Many years later the phrase "Gentlemen we can rebuild him. We have the technology" is still inspiring.

I remember watching it on tv at 730 pm every Thursday. Rush inside after playing in the local street and switch on the tele. Next day at school, we'd all talk about it and re enact the fight scenes with mates including the sound effects and slow motion fist throwing. Time without iPads. Bliss.

my pulse rate still goes up when I see and hear this opening and I'm 56. When I watched this as a kid in the 70's my cheeks would be beet red at the end of each episode I was so into it. Man it was, and is so great!

I actually got chills watching this. I remember seeing the 1st episode on TV. I had the action figure. I asked my parents if i could get a bionic eye. Ah the 70s..... After posting this I went to read the comments. More chills and emotions. Amazing how much this show had an effect on us 50 year old guys.

I can clearly remember how this intro effected me deeply as a child. Somehow, to me, it was the equivalent of 20th century "Captain America".
