Bringing Back Bionic Woman

tvlover_bionic_320x240.jpgSeeing the promos for Bionic Woman is reviving lots of TV Lover flashbacks to the original Bionic Woman that aired on ABC and NBC in 1976-1978.

I'm sure Michele Ryan is a great actress, but can she fill the formidable shoes of the original Bionic Woman, the ubiquitous TV movie queen and beloved TV icon Lindsay Wagner?

Lindsay was on of the rare female leads for a dramatic series on network TV in those days, joining only Police Woman and Wonder Woman.

Ultimately, she paved the way for legions of female dramatic leads in action dramas. From Charlies Angels (which premiered later that year in Fall 1976) to Cagney and Lacey, Xena, Profiler, Dark Angel, V.I.P, Mann and Machine, Witchblade, Charmed, Crossing Jordan, Medium, The Closer, Saving Grace and upcoming FOX mid-season series Sarah Connor Chronicles.

She was introduced as Six Million Dollar Man Steve Austin (Lee Majors)'s girlfriend in an episode of the Six Million Dollar Man, that ended with her demise.

Ok, so the original only last a couple seasons, if this one actually makes it past 3 episodes it will be a miracle. The actress in the lead is not very convincing. I'm going to root for the other girl (the original bionic woman), if I actually continue watching.

This show blows! Another stupid 70's remake. It goes to show you how untalented the people are behind this one. Almost as bad as this rehash Star Trek with Jeffery (no talent) Abrams!

People you need to give this show a chance its a great story, being retold in a new fashion its not the same thing as the one done years and years ago. No one thought buffy would make it and look how long that lasted
