Lindsay Wagner took the part of Jaime Sommers as a birthday present for her sister, whose favorite show was The Six Million Dollar Man.
The popular two-part episode "The Bionic Woman" featured two songs performed on the soundtrack by Lee Majors himself. These were the country song "Gotta Get Loose" and the ballad "Sweet Jamie", the latter of which was loosely based upon the Six Million Dollar Man theme music.
Originally broadcast as a two-part episode of The Six Million Dollar Man (1974) and released to video as a 100-minute movie in the 1980s.
The young girl watching Jaime play tennis is Dana Plato, in her first credited role. She would later play Kimberly in the sitcom Diff'rent Strokes.
