First episode of the TV series is a good one. The small desert town of Norris has been mysteriously incapacitated, and Steve Austin(Lee Majors) is sent in to investigate, since he spent his high school years near there, and knows the inhabitants. It turns out that they are unknowing test subjects of ruthless former government scientist Dr. Bacon(played by Don Porter) who plots to use his ultra sonic wave weapon to blackmail the government, including former colleague Oscar Goldman(Richard Anderson). Interesting and well directed episode has Steve dealing with ruthless villains with equal ruthless aplomb, making for a satisfying ending.
