Which Six Million Dollare man episode featured "blood sausage?"
Ben Bradley
Does anyone remember the episode were Steve Austin rescues an old man
from captivity in a swamp and, while escaping, stops at an old
smoke-shack filled with blood sausage? The old man is weak from his
captivity and is a vegetarian, yet, nevertheless, Steve forces him to
eat blood sausage so he won't faint from hunger!
Please tell me that someone else remembers this episode! It has
haunted me since childhood. It's how I first heard of blood-sausage,
yet no one else seems to remember it.
I can't have made it up, but perhaps there was another show with Lee
Majors where this happened. Please help me track down this old TV
show.
I've read through all the episode blurbs (at
http://www.tv.com/the-six-million-dollar-man/show/591/episode_guide.html?season=0&tag=season_dropdown;dropdown;5).
I remember the blood sausage part, but I doubt it would be included in
the synopsis. It was just a little bit of local color.

No, but I do recall an ep where he got a Lewinski from a bum behind
a utility shed in a park.

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.

And you posted that here why?

Actually, I remember this as being an episode of "Man From UNCLE"
or maybe "I Spy." The old man, in my memory, was a sort of Howard
Hughes type recluse who only ate fruit with unbroken skin.

I definitely remember this plot. It could have been "The Six
Million Dollar Man," but I'm not sure. If it was, I'd say
it was first season because those episodes had a bit more
edge to them, especially the pilot movie.

generic Hughes clone, but I can't remember which laconic macho hero show
it was an episode on. IIRC, it wasn't a smoke shack, it was some local's
hut, and the hero insisted the Hughes clone eat it to avoid insulting
the locals. (Or maybe it was the other way around, which surprised the
hero.) The last shot of the clone was as he closed the hermetic seal
door on his redoubt in the hero's face. I'm almost thinking it was a
McGyver episode.

No, it was the first way -- the local guy was risking his ass
helping Our Hero get the rescued rich guy out of Bad Guy territory,
and Hero wasn't going to have his hospitality be insulted.

It was an episode of "Cool Million," which starred James Farentino
and rotated on the NBC Mystery Movie with "Banacek" and "Madigan"
for the 1972-73 season.

(Okay, I had to look up the dates and which shows it rotated with.)

William, you're not just good, you're brilliant! I think you've found
it!
First, let me explain that Ben Bradley posted the original query on my
behalf (I did not know this group existed), but I am, in fact, the
original poster. The fact that the series was called "Cool Million"
explains how my (then) ten-year-old mind filed the memory away in the
Six Million Dollar Man vault.
Anyway, I just read through the episodes of Cool Million and "The
Abduction of Baynard Barnes" seems to fit the bill. Here is the
synopsis: Keyes must rescue a kidnapped billionaire, but his mission
is endangered by the man's paranoid aversion to germs.
So... my next question is: where can I get a copy of this episode or
series? Any thoughts?

Thank You! Now I can sleep tonight. I was picturing a skinny dark-haired
hero, and did almost post that it was one of the rotating series, but
had totally blanked on 'Cool Million'.
