Ojai was a single name applied to two different, but related, geographic areas. Primarily, it meant Ojai, California, the home town of Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers. But it also was used to indicate the Ojai Valley, the larger area in which the town was situated. Located in Ventura County, California — some 20 miles distant from Norris — the town proper was fairly small and dominated by traditional Spanish-American architecture. The surrounding valley was, at the time of the two series, a sparsely-populated rural area. Steve's parents were long time residents of the town, while Steve himself bought a ranch in the valley a couple of years after his bionic replacement surgery. (Population Zero, The Bionic Woman, Jaime's Mother)

abstract	Ojai was a single name applied to two different, but related, geographic areas. Primarily, it meant Ojai, California, the home town of Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers. But it also was used to indicate the Ojai Valley, the larger area in which the town was situated. Located in Ventura County, California — some 20 miles distant from Norris — the town proper was fairly small and dominated by traditional Spanish-American architecture. The surrounding valley was, at the time of the two series, a sparsely-populated rural area. Steve's parents were long time residents of the town, while Steve himself bought a ranch in the valley a couple of years after his bionic replacement surgery. (Population Zero, The Bionic Woman, Jaime's Mother) A few episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man were consequently set in Ojai. Notably, in "The Return of the Bionic Woman (Part II)", Steve believed that taking the memory-deprived Sommers back to Ojai might help her to recover from the cryogenic surgery which resurrected her. Instead, it triggered painful memories of her life with Steve, which proved life-threatening. After a time recuperating in the OSI's Colorado Springs facility, Jaime once again returned to Ojai — this time better able to deal with her fleeting memory of the region. (Welcome Home, Jaime). Her time in Colorado was so successful, in fact, that she was now able to take up full-time residence in Ojai. Thus, unlike The Six Million Dollar Man, many episodes of The Bionic Woman were at least partly set in Ojai, or its immediate environs, due to Sommers' "home base" in the series being a renovated building on the Elgin farm.
