This aired on ABC in November of 1974. The seven million dollar man is named Barney Miller. In January of 1975, ABC aired a new sitcom called Barney Miller set in a New York City Police Department police station on East 6th St in Greenwich Village. As a result, the bionic character Barney Miller on this show experienced a name change to Barney Hiller in a sequel episode.
The restaurant scenes were filmed at 4100 Cahuenga Boulevard in Toluca Lake, California, which was then the home of Maison Gerard restaurant. Maison Gerard was also used in the 1973 Columbo episode "The Most Dangerous Match."
Steve's normal off duty car is a Chevrolet Corvette C3, an accurate car for an ex-Apollo astronaut as they were provided for free to them by the company as a publicity stunt.
