Hi,
You can try Cool Edit Pro, it has a feature to remove vocals (called Vocal Cut) in a song, similar to what you want. But it's not 100%, it depends much of the kind of music and talking if it would work well. Sometimes you can still hear the music/talking in a lower volume. I think Sonic have a similar feature, but I'm not familiar w/their products.

This is what Cool Edit Pro's manual say:

Use the Vocal Cut preset to remove the vocals from stereo recordings. This preset will sum the left channel with the inverse of the right, and place the result into both channels. On music where the vocals are equally loud on both channels, the vocals will disappear, or come close to disappearing. Note that the Vocal Cut preset is ineffective on monophonic recordings and stereo recordings in which the vocals are not in the center of the stereo image.

This isn't going to work for frederick, then. The Six Million Dollar Man TV series was broadcast in the 70's, several years before the advent of stereo TV, so the soundtrack will be in mono.

Frederick, depending on what your final purpose is, you might try using Cool Edit's filter functions to knock out the human-voice frequency range instead. (Basically, set up a band-stop filter with a range of about 300Hz - 3KHz, then experiment with narrowing or widening the range until you get a result you can live with.) If you're planning to add your own narration in place of the previous one, this might be "good enough for government work"

A other approach might be to look for the soundtrack or score of the show, if it has any. Try to check the credits after the show/movie.
