| '''The Bionic Woman''' was a television series that aired from 1976 to 1978 on the ABC and NBC networks. The show featured a [[cyborg]] woman who had been "rebuilt" with electronic and mechanical parts after a parachuting accident. The show was a spin-off from a similar show about a male cyborg called "The Six Million Dollar Man"

| | |
| The term [[fembot]] was coined by one of the script writers for the show.

| |
| In 1976, the show aired some crossover episodes with "The Six Million Dollar Man" in which both bionic protagonists appeared. This was actually a three part story called "[[Kill Oscar]]". Parts 1 and two aired as episodes of "The Bionic Woman" while part 2 aired as an episode of "The Six Million Dollar Man". In syndication, they were all aired as episodes of "The Bionic Woman".
| |
| | |
| In 1978, after the show had switched networks, the show aired the two-part episode "[[Fembots in Las Vegas]]"
| |
| | |
| Both of these multi-part episodes featured fembots that were realistic enough to pass themselves off as human. Each of the five 30-minute shows contain many scenes of these fembots without their [[facemask]]s, and both "Kill Oscar" and "Fembots in Las Vegas" are popular among [[technosexual]]s for these depictions.
