TV show, season 3, episode 1 named "The Bionic Dog". The bionic woman Jaime Sommers (Lindsay Wagner) is introduced to the bionic German shepard dog Maximillion. Max was given bionic legs and jaws (!) after a near-fatal accident. Jamie has Max riding along in her blue '75 Datsun 280Z, and stops to greet a friend who just parked her Savannah Beige '69 Beetle. The woman's toddler daughter is inside the Beetle, in which you can see the Nut Brown seats. As the girl is waving to Max while standing on the driver's seat, she accidentally kicks the shifter so that the Beetle starts to roll down the hill. Max barks frantically to try to alert Jaime, but the door window is up. Max uses his new bionic strength to break through the door glass and runs after the Beetle, grabbing onto its rear bumper and skidding to a stop. The girl is not hurt, nor is the Beetle damaged. A gold (Sun Bug?) Standard Beetle passes by in background. Rear bumper is a chromed round pipe which is easier to grip for Max than the taller stock bumper. IMDB lists the location as Valencia St. and Shatto St in Los Angeles, which is a few blocks east of MacArthur Park and a block north of Wilshire Blvd. |
