The Gazette (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) declares: "Battle of the Bionics!" with "Guest star: Monty Markham" in their image promo for the Six Million Dollar Man episode “The Bionic Criminal" — a sequel to fan-favorite episode "The Seven Million Dollar Man." TRIVIA: Two strange things happen in this episode: Alan Oppenheimer returns as Dr. Rudy Wells POST his replacement by Martin E. Brooks. Presumably to smoothly connect both episodes as they feature Rudy. It's Oppenheimer's 9th appearance in the role but it will be his last. Brooks will return and take over fully in both shows starting with "Welcome Home, Jaime." The other oddity is Barney's last name. In "Seven Million Dollar Man" it was "Miller." But in "Crminal" it's "Hiller." Presumably because the TV sitcom "Barney Miller" had premiered since "Seven" and had grown in popularity. Perhaps the marketing department at ABC/Universal thought Monte Markham needed a name change as well since they print his first name as "Monty" in this advertisement.
