    Bigfoot

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    ‘Bigfoot’ was a major fascination in the 1970s, explored in numerous documentaries (such as the In Search Of . . . series hosted by Leonard Nimoy), and imagined on such series as The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman. 

    Sasquatch even starred in his own Saturday morning series, Bigfoot and Wildboy.
