    Six Million Dollar Man selling...hearing aids?

    YES. It's true. I just saw Lee Majors on the Fox News channel selling "bionic" hearing aids. I found the site that shows the commercial. Well, it's a way to make a buck I guess...

    Does it make the cool bionic noise, when you use it?


    Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

        I saw that about a month ago.... I couldn't believe he was shilling for a Bionic Hearing Aid when Steve Austin had two good ears- no bionics. Would've made more sense to get Lindsey Wagner for the pitch so she could stop telling everyone about the good night's sleep she gets.

          He's actually been very busy for a man of his age...

          * Majors continues to play roles in made-for-TV movies, and makes cameo appearances on other shows. He also appears in TV commercials, occasionally parodying his Steve Austin image.

          * He starred in a German Honda TV car commercial with his wife Faith Majors parodying the beginning of The Fall Guy, always refusing the challenges presented in the original.

          * Majors played Jaret Reddick's disconnected father in Bowling For Soup's video, "When We Die."

          * The baseball park on North 15th Street in his hometown of Middlesboro, Kentucky, was renamed in his honor.

          * Majors portrayed the character Grandpa Max in the movie Ben 10: Race Against Time. Majors was also going to reprise his role as Grandpa Max in Ben 10: Alien Swarm. Majors turn down the role which will be replaced by Barry Corbin, the film be coming out in November 2009.

          * Majors voiced the character of "Big" Mitch Baker in the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

          * In the second season episode of Family Guy, "Running Mates", when Lois scolds Peter for making a sexist comment, Peter quickly replies: "I didn't say that; Lee Majors did." The camera then shows Majors standing nearby; he shrugs and says, "What? Women are things."

          * In The Simpsons episode "Burns' Heir", Marge has a fantasy about Lee Majors and runs away with him after Bart is graduating from Harvard in the future.

          * Majors also appeared in the two "featurettes" on The Fall Guy Season One DVD set. He discusses the show — both as an actor and executive producer — and talks about the show's title song, "The Unknown Stuntman".

          * On January 1, 2008, Majors appeared in the role of "God" on the season premiere of According to Jim.

          * Also in 2008, Majors played a member of the Minutemen (dedicated to preventing illegal border crossings) in Season Four of the Showtime series Weeds, where he recruits Kevin Nealon’s character.

          * Majors has his own hearing aid which he sells as the Lee Majors Hearing Aid.

              I actually love the infomercial for the hearing aid type device (I forget what they call it) that looks like a wireless bluetooth for your cellphone.

              A couple of scenes in the infomercial show the person eavesdropping on someone else's conversation (reminds me of that scene from "Something About Mary")

                  But my thoughts are someone his age shouldn't "have" to work at all.

                    A bionic hearing aid?
                    Oscar Goldman must have become tired of having to shout his orders over the phone.
                    "Steve, we have a Bigfoot sighting in Canada!"
                    "What?"
                    "Bigfoot!!!"
                    "What's with your butt??"
                    "CANADA...BIG...FOOT!!!!"
                    "A banana up your butt?"
                    "Switch on the damn hearing aid, Steve!"
                    .
                    .

                      Ok. Orphans! Listen to Ignacio. I know it is fun to wrestle. A nice piledrive to the face... or a punch to the face... but you cannot do it. Because, it is in the Bible not to wrestle your neighbour.

                        My aunt told me she used to babysit Lee Majors (not his real name I was told). It was a cool story when I was 10 years old. Flash forward 30 years ... she passed away a few years ago and he's selling hearing aides. Very sad.

                          Buck up. Life tends to destroy each and every human being sooner or later.

                          What can you actually do except try to make the best of it?

                          According to wiki, the kid your aunt used to babysit was named
                          "Harvey Lee Yeary".

                              I guess it is better than her babysitting Lee Harvey Oswald.
