Kenneth Johnson (filmmaker)
His early TV work includes "The Six Million Dollar Man", "The Bionic Woman" and "The Incredible Hulk". Johnson created the character of Jaime Sommers and "The Bionic Woman", an American television series starring Lindsay Wagner that aired for three seasons between 1976 and 1978 as a spin-off from "The Six Million Dollar Man".
Evel Knievel
Knievel made several television appearances, including frequently as a guest on talk shows such as "Dinah!" and Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show". In 1977, Evel made a guest spot on "The Bionic Woman", where he played himself, getting inadvertently caught up in East German espionage while appearing in West Germany. Actual footage from Evel's L.A. Coliseum jump over crushed cars was used in the beginning of the episode, and an indoor jump over 11 cars and 1 van was used at the end of the show. Also in 1977, Warner Bros. released "Viva Knievel!" This movie starred Knievel as himself and co-starred Lauren Hutton, Gene Kelly and Red Buttons. Similar to "The Bionic Woman," actual footage from the Wembley jump was used in the movie. In addition, the 1999 children's TV series "Hilltop Hospital" featured a character based on Knievel called Weasel Kneasel, who was the focus of an episode of the same name.
