On March 18th the show will hit DVD and advertisements have begun appearing on the net for it. It seems NBC’s making a push to sell the DVD, which they have titled “The Bionic Woman – Volume 1.” It definitely sounds like NBC doesn’t want to kill off all their options just yet with the show. The show’s first season is soon set to begin airing over seas.

Digital Spy has a report on an interview the show’s star, Michelle Ryan, did recently with Radio times about the show and how things turned out for it. She notes that should the show be picked back up that “everyone will go back with renewed enthusiasm”.

NBC RENEWS DRAMA SERIES ‘CHUCK, ‘LIFE’ AND ‘HEROES’ FOR 2008-09 SEASON

BURBANK – February 13, 2008 – NBC has picked up its freshman drama series “Chuck” and “Life” — as well as its hit “Heroes” — for the 2008-09 season, it was announced today by Ben Silverman, Co-Chairman, NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios, and Marc Graboff, Co-Chairman, NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios.

All three series will have major re-launch campaigns next year.

“We are thrilled to be bringing back the high-energy dramas ‘Chuck’ and Life’ for next season,” said Silverman. “Additionally, we will be saving and re-launching our #1 drama and most successful franchise, ‘Heroes,’ so that it will run in all original episodes in the fourth quarter.”

“These pickups are a sign of our confidence in these quality series and will allow the respective producers to get a head start on their creative arc for next season,” said Graboff. “As a result, they give us a lot to build on as we point to next year’s schedule.”

“Heroes” is NBC’s #1 series this season in adults 18-49, the #1 Monday series on any network in adults 18-49 and the #1 scripted series on any network in adults 18-34. This season, “Heroes” has averaged a 6.2 rating, 14 share in adults 18-49 and 13.1 million viewers overall.

“Chuck” has averaged a 3.5 rating, 9 share in adults 18-49 and 8.7 million viewers overall this season. The most recent telecast of “Chuck” on December 3 won the time period in adults 18-49, adults 18-34 and all key adult-male demographics. “Chuck” has increased its adult 18-49 rating from half-hour to half-hour with each of its 11 Monday telecasts this season.

“Life” has averaged a 3.0 rating, 8 share in adults 18-49 and 8.1 million viewers overall. Its most recent telecast on December 5 saw “Life” achieve the show’s highest total-viewer result since October 3. That December 5 telecast finished within 1 share of the time-period lead in adults 18-49.

From creator/writer Tim Kring (NBC’s “Crossing Jordan”) comes the Emmy and Golden Globe nominated “Heroes,” an epic drama that chronicles the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities. In its first season, “Heroes” was honored with a People’s Choice Award, an AFI Award, a Multicultural Prism Award and this year’s TV Land Future Classic Award and the TV Critics Association Awards’ Outstanding Program of the Year, as well as nominations at the Golden Globe Awards, NAACP Image Awards, Writers Guild of America Awards and Satellite Awards.

After a total eclipse casts its shadow across the globe, seemingly calling forth a multitude of everyday men and women with special powers, Dr. Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy, “Blind Guy Driving”), a genetics professor from India, continues to champion his father’s theory that there are people with extraordinary abilities living among us. Claire Bennet, an indestructible high school cheerleader (Hayden Panettiere, “Bring it On: All or Nothing”), must hide her ability from her peers while working to maintain her relationship with her father (Jack Coleman, “Dynasty”), a man of mystery who has a keen interest in people like her. Niki Sanders, a Las Vegas single mother (Ali Larter, “Final Destination”) with astonishing strength — and a dangerous, amoral mirror image (Jessica Sanders) — struggles to protect her young son Micah (Noah Gray-Cabey, “My Wife & Kids”), a genius who can interact with electronic machinery through touch.

Matt Parkman, a police detective (Greg Grunberg, “Alias”), attempts to put his ability to hear the thoughts of others to good use. In Japan, Hiro Nakamura’s (Masi Oka, NBC’s “Scrubs”) ability to pierce the space-time continuum and manipulate time has empowered him to change the future, as he embarks on wild adventures with his best friend Ando Masahashi (James Kyson Lee, “Shutter”). Nathan Petrelli, a congressional hopeful (Adrian Pasdar, “Judging Amy”) with the ability to fly, has his dreams dashed after failing to stop his younger brother Peter (Milo Ventimiglia, “Rocky Balboa”), a nurse with the ability to absorb the powers of others, from exploding over the New York City skyline. And after this clash in New York, the fate of Sylar, a manipulative serial killer (Zachary Quinto, “24″) dedicated to violently collecting the extraordinary talents of special people, is unknown. Meanwhile, in the Dominican Republic, a young woman named Maya Herrera (Dania Ramirez, “The Sopranos”) and her twin brother, plagued by her threatening ability, attempt to enter the United States in search of help. And Monica Dawson, another woman (Dana Davis, “The Nine”) with newfound special abilities, would give up everything to help the people around her. Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world…

Joining Kring as executive producer are Dennis Hammer (NBC’s “Crossing Jordan”), Allan Arkush (NBC’s “Crossing Jordan”) and Greg Beeman (“Smallville”). The drama is produced by Universal Media Studios in association with Tailwind Productions.

From Rand Ravich (“The Astronaut’s Wife”), Far Shariat (“Confessions of a Dangerous Mind”), and David Semel — who directed the pilot of NBC’s “Heroes” — “Life” is a first-year drama about a detective who is given a second chance. Damian Lewis (“Band of Brothers”) stars as complex, offbeat Detective Charlie Crews, who returns to the force after years in prison, thanks to close friend and attorney Constance Griffiths (Brooke Langton, “The Net”), after serving time in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.

The cast also includes Sarah Shahi (“Rush Hour 3″) as Charlie’s skeptical, demanding partner, Robin Weigart (HBO’s “Deadwood”) as their hard-hitting lieutenant, and Adam Arkin (“Chicago Hope”) as former cellmate Ted Early.

“Life” is a Universal Media Studios production. Rand Ravich is executive producer and writer; Far Shariat and Dan Sackheim are executive producers on the series; David Semel is executive producer and director on the pilot.

From executive producer, Josh Schwartz (“The O.C.”) and executive producer-director McG (“Charlie’s Angels,” “We Are Marshall”) comes “Chuck,” a one-hour, action-comedy series about Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi, “Less Than Perfect”) — a computer geek who is catapulted into a new career as the government’s most vital secret agent. When Chuck opens an e-mail subliminally encoded with government secrets, he unwittingly downloads an entire server of sensitive data into his brain. Now, the fate of the world lies in the unlikely hands of a guy who works at a Buy More Electronics store. Instead of fighting computer viruses, he must now confront assassins and international terrorists.

With the government’s most precious secrets in Chuck’s head, Major John Casey of the National Security Agency (Adam Baldwin, “My Bodyguard”) assumes the responsibility of protecting him. His partner is the CIA’s top agent (and Chuck’s first date in years), Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski, “Gone”). They’ll try to keep him safe by trading in his pocket protector for a bulletproof vest. Also starring are Joshua Gomez (“Without a Trace”) as Morgan Grimes, Chuck’s best buddy, and Sarah Lancaster (“What About Brian?”) as Chuck’s ever-supportive sister, Ellie. Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak wrote, “Chuck,” which is produced by College Hill Pictures, Wonderland Sound and Vision, in association with Warner Bros. Television.

Over on ABC, “Big Shots” has three more episodes left to air, but ABC has pulled it. They will show “Private Practice” reruns in its place. Some reports are saying “Big Shots” is over, others are indicating ABC may air those final three episodes in January . . . but the show might then wrap up and may not be renewed.

I’m still watching “Bionic Woman” on Wednesdays, but my issue with it lately has been the same with “Journeyman.” They’ve taken it in the direction that every episode is a new case, but the overall story isn’t moving anywhere. We were told Jaime would die in about 5 years and possibly suffer the same fate as her nemesis Sarah, but that hasn’t been hardly mentioned since. Don’t get me started on the fact that the entire Sarah and Andros story has suddenly just vanished!

Finally I really want to watch “Samantha Who,” but haven’t been able to as too much is on at the same time! I’m hoping when the reruns start if they aren’t showing these over again, I’ll be able to catch-up online.

Sarah, we learn, is dying. Something is wrong, we don’t know exactly what. Basically we learned that her younger sister died in a car accident, Sarah blamed herself as she was driving and pushing the petal to the metal on a dare. This apparently lead Sarah to go downhill and come unhinged. Comments were made even before she became bionic she was a loose cannon.

After Jae shot and killed Sarah, Will Anthros somehow brought her back. She was a bit off the rocker before as she lost it and went on a killing spree. Unfortunately whatever Will did to bring her back from dead has made things worse. She is losing control, she has become a total machine according to her and she says she’ll be dead within a year.

Will’s father, who escaped from jail with Sarah’s help, is helping her try and fix what is wrong. He’s the one who made her. He’s been giving her drugs to keep her in control of herself, but says they need to compare Jamie’s bionics to hers and figure out if Jamie can help save her.

Okay what I don’t get is why is Anthros Sr. helping Sarah at all given she killed his son? That confused me. Clearly Anthros Sr. is a bad guy, but are the drugs he’s giving Sarah helping her or making things worse? I get the feeling he just wants to get to Jamie, Sarah is just a means to that. Jamie of course doesn’t trust Sarah and said she couldn’t help her. Sarah went nuts and threatened to kill Jamie’s sister, pushed by Anthros who claimed it would help them bond and Jamie to relate to her. Jamie reached what human part was left in Sarah to convince her not to, but then warned her if she ever came near them again she’d kill Sarah. Sarah was then forced to run as Jamie used her bionics and tracker in her to alert the team to Sarah’s presence.

I still want to say Will is alive, that he’s not really dead. I think his death must have been faked for some reason. Perhaps Anthros Sr. even knows this somehow? Otherwise he’s one SOB of a father for not caring about his son’s death.

In this past episode we learned Will Anthros actually died after being shot by Sarah! What what what? He’s listed on the main NBC page as a cast member. Is he really dead, or is he being hidden? Jamie later learned Will had a file on her which started 2 years before they officially met. What’s going on here? It looks like they had been targeting Jamie all along.

Jamie did some soul searching in this episode to find out what she wanted to do with her life. She ran into a stranger who gave her some advice. This was Isiah Washington’s character, who it turns out works as part of the company. Jamie eventually agreed to join the team.

For her first assignment, Jamie accompanied Ruth to a town that was poisoned mysteriously by a chemical the team created awhile back. They had to find out who had it and what they had planned for it. As it turned out, they planned to target and destroy major cities all over the US, the little town was a test run. It appears the team stopped a major terrorist strike in the US, but why did they developed this chemical weapon in the first place? That question was never answered. Hmmm.

We also found out in this episode that Jae Kim and Sarah Corvus were apparently secretly married! Sarah admitted to Jae that she believes someone hacked her and that’s why she went out of control and killed so many members of the team, before Jae was forced to “kill” her. Was she really hacked? If so, why did she try and kill Jamie and Will? Hmmmmm . . . . .
