This is one of the reasons I like the boardwalk sales pitch. Lee Majors is selling a new rechargeable hearing aid through direct marketing. I saw the commercial last night. Now, I don’t need a hearing aid… yet, but I was transfixed by the commercial. The Six Million Dollar Man was my favorite show for a long time when I was a kid. I had the lunch box and action doll, complete with small choking hazards 
I don’t know why Lee Majors is selling hearing aids, perhaps he just wants to get some exposure for the 6 million dollar man franchise. Perhaps he needs the money. If that’s the case, then I wish him well. He’s mostly been doing cameos and TV specials lately, but he has a couple movies coming out next year. He’s one of those actors that I root for because of a part he played 30 years ago
Good Luck and Godspeed Steve Austin, and Billy Mays

I couldn’t pick him out of a lineup, but I do know the sound that always played in that show! Of course, I can’t describe it.

He’d better have disclaimers. “No, this hearing aid does not cost $6,000,000!!!”
Does the ad have those cool “Na-na-nanana” sounds in it?
I think that is the sound that Manuel is thinking of. Chevy Chase also vocalized it in “Caddyshack”
