Wishing they had longer legs.
First thing I thought of was that guy in Family Guy, Seamus!
If you know where that line is from, you are old.
If you think it’s from robot chicken, you aren’t old enough

Yeeeahh but the $6M man was kinda wank, really. Give me some Knight Rider, Airwolf, hell even some classic Mission Impossible.
But Thunderbirds and all the UK puppet shows were far better.
Edit: Oh man, I’m about to fall down a rabbit hole now… I almost forgot about Captain Scarlet!! (Unfortunately ITV have apparently killed off videos of the actual intro, their “full intro” video is anything but. Commercial non-public broadcasting bastards!)
In terms of toy rankings (which was always the best ranking), it goes: Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Stingray.
The Mask was somewhere between Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet. Transformers had a similar spot, maybe neck and neck with Thunderbirds. But then, Power Rangers came along in the 90s and took the crown. I even made my own custom Lego Power Rangers/Voltron type things out of random spaceship models, that could combine together into one big robot.

Fuck you.
(Sigh, okay, it’s not your fault I’m old. I’m just angry about it.)
You just got me curious, so I looked it up…
According to my searching, $6,000,000 in 1973, when the show started, is equal to about $43,305,317.65 in 2024. That’s one expensive man.
Harder, better, faster, stronger.
I when you’re tired of walking:
Reminds me of Jarl Varg’s hands.
Oughff.
I imagine the chair is gonna be uncomfortably hard besides being creepy.
