The Bionic Woman: I’m Sold!
So I have to admit, when NBC first announced the remake of “The Bionic Woman” I was a bit skeptical. I mean the original was a classic, you don’t mess with classics. It could have turned out to be one huge disaster. However after watching the video preview over at NBC.com, I have to say I’m sold. I cannot wait for this show to start airing!
Now they have changed a few things. For starters, there is no bionic man, well not yet. The original was a spin-off of “The Bionic Man” and Jamie was his girlfriend. In this one she’s the girlfriend of a professor of bionics, he saves her after a car crash. The bionic parts are all there though: legs, an arm, an eye and and ear.
Jaime has a little sister she takes care of in this one, and unlike the original, she doesn’t seem to lose her memory after waking up bionic. The best part of course is the bionic villain, who is played by none other than Katee Sackhoff, who many may recognize as Starbuck on the new “Battlestar Galactica.”
Head over to http://www.nbc.com/Fall_Preview/Bionic_Woman/ and watch the video preview and judge for yourself.
I have to agree with you on this one.. I just watched the preview and if it’s always this good – i’m going to have to add another show to my long list of shows. Thank God that most of them are on the internet…
I can’t wait for this one!

It didn’t sound like something I’d normally be interested in from the descriptions. However, the preview clip was pretty good. I’ll be tuning in for the first episode this fall.

You said: “The original was a spin-off of “The Bionic Man†and Jamie was his girlfriend.”
Ah, while the character was ‘bionic’, the original Lee Majors’ series was called ‘The Six Million Dollar Man’

I always forget he was called the Six Million Dollar Man. I was more into the Bionic Woman so I always call him the Bionic Man 🙂

I read your review of The Bionic Woman, then I saw the videos on the NBC web site.
I loved the new version so far.
I have been a huge fan of Michelle Ryan since her EASTENDERS days.
She have grown as a actress.
Come this fall, i will enjoy her on BOTH shows – EastEnders and The Bionic Woman!

I will watch it and give it a chance. However, Lindsay Wagner will always be “Jamie Sommmers” to me.
