==Cultural influence==
In [[Brazil]], under the [[Brazilian military government|military dictatorship]], some important government officials, previously elected by [[direct suffrage]], were appointed by the [[President of Brazil|president]], or elected [[Indirect suffrage|indirectly]], out of a shortlist picked by the president. These politicians were called "bionic" (''biônicos''), due to the series' popularity, and the association with the perceived extraordinary power and influence held by the appointed officials. Between 1964 and 1985, Brazil came to have "bionic" senators, governors and mayors. With the [[Constitution of Brazil|1988 Constitution of Brazil]], all "bionic" appointments were abolished.<ref>{{cite web|author=Emerson Santiago |url=http://www.infoescola.com/historia-do-brasil/senadores-bionicos/ |title=Senadores Biônicos - História do Brasil |publisher=InfoEscola |date=2011-07-19 |access-date=2012-03-30}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.marcovilla.com.br/2011/07/o-pacote-de-abril-e-o-senado.html |title=Blog do Villa: O pacote de Abril e o Senado |publisher=Marcovilla.com.br |access-date=2012-03-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110911120137/http://www.marcovilla.com.br/2011/07/o-pacote-de-abril-e-o-senado.html |archive-date=2011-09-11}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Vanderlei Faria |url=http://www.historiabrasileira.com/ditadura-militar/pacote-de-abril/ |title=Pacote de Abril - Ditadura Militar - História Brasileira |publisher=Historiabrasileira.com |access-date=2012-03-30}}</ref>
