I like that look for Andre. He could maybe have battled Lou Ferrigno (“The Incredible Hulk”) on a special event show that was running those days, called Battle of the Network Stars. Cheesy premise, but I thought it was actually pretty amusing.

Having some cross overs between Hulk, Spider Man, and Bionic Man would have blown my mind as a kid.
the hulk/thor in the later movies was not bad. im looking for a man. IM A MAN! I mean im looking for a particular man. IM A PARTICULAR MAN!

Andre is a little mad because he’s late and hasn’t gotten to makeup yet. It takes hours to put on that costume, and Lee is just holding him up asking for pictures.
Meanwhile, I’m a little curious if Lee is wearing a wig, there. The top portion looks characteristic of that, anyway.
holy crap I did not realize andre playe the bionic man sasquatch.
I always thought it was Ted Cassidy. Turns out Ted Cassidy took over the role for later episodes.
Perfect.
Altho it strikes me as rather hilarious that a Bigfoot character would appear more than once on what was more or less a sci-fi show.
As is revealed later in the episode, Bigfoot is a robot.
The hilarity level is bumped up yet another notch. :D
Not just a robot, a robot created by aliens. It was mind blowing!
Venture Bros did a great take on what happened years later.
Wow, i just gets better and better.
We need a Venture Bros community on the FV, or at least a /c that encompasses it somehow.
I got kicked out of the one on Reddit for sharing some fair-usage pics from the massive (and massively awesome) book from a couple years back. After two posts, mod got upset about me illegally sharing the book there in a series of posts that would have had to have eventually numbered 500+ in total. When I pointed out the hypocrisy of loads of other copyrighted material being shared there on a regular basis, he lost it. Bloody wanker.
There is [email protected] community.
I’m subscribed but no one posts. That’s my fault too.
Typical problem of the Fediverse: loads of communities, but most of them dead or neglected. We don’t need more of them, we need more community-runners and posters.
Unfortunately I’m already modding two places and regularly posting in half-a-dozen.
If I remember correctly (and lord it’s been a while) there is a good reason it would be a scifi premise. At least one of the episodes, anyway.
I liked the Venus probe that crashed and thought it was on Venus. That show had some wild stuff.
Thanks! Just checked out season one from the local library. Good memories. I had the “action figure” and the Oscar one with an exploding briefcase!
That’s right, I remember some fun toys along those lines. Steve had metallic / translucent parts when you removed arms plates and leg plates, I think. Also, one his eyes. Sometimes they were even functional IIRC, like in being able to shoot his fist or something.
During that era, the Micronaut toys were kind of similar and quite stylish IMO.
Dang they’re going for hundreds of dollars on eBay https://ebay.us/m/CATSZ7 Didn’t have micronauts but did have Johnny West figures. And GI Joe of course.
Wait, you’re telling me that the Six Million Dollar Man/Bigfoot thing wasn’t just made up for Venture Bros? Bigfoot was canonically in that show?
Yeap, read the comments.
Clips are all over YT, including Bionic Woman, too:

Would it kill you to put a note pointing out which is which? Yeesh…
Trolloc!
You idiot that’s clearly an Ogier
What?? Ogiers are just childrens tales!
His best role since The Night The Reindeer Died
Where’s Andre? Behind the Bigfoot?
