I don’t know about you but I was a huge fan of The Six Million Dollar Man when I was a kid. So much so that I hoped to one day be bionic, just like my hero Steve Austin — a man barely alive. Years and many sessions of therapy later I can now appreciate the show for what it was: cool and a lot of fun.

Of course, one of the reasons the show was so cool was Lee Majors. After The Six Million Dollar Man ended, he went on to play another cool character on TV, Hollywood stuntman Colt Seavers in The Fall Guy. That was another fun show that I watched all the time. Of course, some of that interest may have had to do with Heather Thomas, but I can’t be sure.

Lee Majors has been absent from the small screen for too long. Fortunately, pro skater and cool guy Tony Hawk, along with Lance Krall, have decided to do something about it. That something is a new show called Crash & Burn.

It’s a show about stuntmen (and women) and looks to be pretty damn funny. To help spread the word about this new show, which looks to be no more than a pilot or even, as they call it in “the biz” a pilot presentation at this point, we’ve got the promo for it to share with you today.

Let’s hope it becomes a series because it’s pretty awesome. Click through to check it out.

Austin is home to some great festivals and other events. From SXSX to Fantastic Fest the town certainly has more than its share of pop culture events. Another event coming up is the Austin Comic Con which starts this Friday and goes through Sunday at the Austin Convention Center.

The event features speakers such as writer/director Tim McCanlies, Harry Knowles, Bionic folk Lee Majors and Lindsay Wagner, Billy Dee Williams, Walter Koenig, comic art superstar Joe Madura and Buffy’s Clare Kramer and Nicholas Brendon. For more info, check out all the details in this full press release for the event.
