Jaime rips a phone book in half

Jaime Sommers gets her kids respect by showing them what she could do to them if they dont cooperate! it works!!

If you are wondering how this was done, the phone book was baked in a oven untill it was brittle enough for Lindsay Wagner to tear it apart.

Only cuz I grew up watching this but that is NOT Jaime Sommers per say - it's her evil twin (after plastic surgery) named Lisa Calloway. Lisa assumes Jaime's life and her strength ( with adrenalizine ). That's why she has the strength in BOTH arms to rip the phone book. Ya see? :)

@shwmehvn no you're wrong, thats a different episode, in season 2. the strenght in both arms is just a continutity error. Lisa Galloway didnt appear until the end of season 1.

I loved these shows when I was a kid, and Jamie is the coolest. But I have one thing to point out about this demonstration of strength. Jamie Somers and Steve Austin each had only one bionic arm. How can the normal arm withstand the forces created when the bionic arm does something like this? Handcuff Steve Austin, and he rips the handcuffs apart. Wouldn't that have torn his normal arm apart too?

But yeah, that is a cool thing to do in a classroom.

[leathertuskadero]

Thats a good point and it's been brought up many times. If you think about it there's no way bionics could work unless everything was made bionic, lofting a car with one bionic arm would make your back break, you'd need an entirely bionic body to do the things steve and jaime do.

What classroom has a phone book in it?

[leathertuskadero]

No one ever asked

She needs to teach at our schools today. Most of our kids are rotten brats who are poorly parented.

@shwmehvn fyi it's not per say. "per se" is a Latin phrase meaning "in itself". Nice inside info on the episode though. Cheers

@flenif2247 im fourteen and that kind of offends me. im a straight a student president of National Junior Honor Society and captain of my schools basketball team. i dont want to start a fight but im just saying not all kids are like that and you are going to offend the well behaved ones

[kyokogodai]

We need more teachers like this! Respect is no longer a part of the classroom, and needs to be re-instituted!!!

My daughter's music teacher has thrown a chair against the wall because it squeaked . . . perhaps she had seen this episode ! And she is not bionic !

@flenif2247 Ha ha ha if a teacher tore a phone book in half these days, she would be fired for being too rude or intimidating to the students.

I loved The Bionic Woman when I was a kid and still do. It says at the top of the page, if you are wondering how it was done, well I wasn't wondering how it was done, that just spoils the magic of the show.

[AngrierGorilla]

it's funny how were depicted bad students back then...these children don't seem nothing special nowadays!

@shwmehvn

Actually this was before Lisa Galloway.... So it is Jaime

[str009]

In the pilot episode of SMDM, the doctor mentions his concern for the condition of Steve's spine after the crash. I always took that to mean his spine was reinforced. But yeah, the physics didn't always work. How often did Steve push heavy objects with his legs, when he should have been propelled away?

Love this clip! Jaime put those heathens in check about their misbehavior and the way she ripped that phonebook in half was priceless. Class, you are messin' with the wrong woman, 'cause Jaime Sommers don't play that $#%&, act right now!
