I watched about 15 minutes of the new Bionic Woman on NBC tonight with its 100% beautiful cast, industrial “24ish” agency headquarters, flashy special effects and a shiny veneer, but I’m still left wanting. The original show from the 70’s did more with a slow motion camera and some bad sound effects than this new show could in a dozen seasons.

The Bionic Woman and her male counterpart, The Six Million Dollar Man reached cult status. If I asked you what you think of when you think of them running, you would answer with one simple sound.

Nananananah!

You won’t find any of that happy reassurance in the new show. Even the current lead actress leaves you wishing NBC would bring back the young Lindsay Wagner to show the new chick how it’s done. I had a feeling they were hyping this show a bit too much from the start. If this show lasts more than 2 seasons, I’d be surprised, and that’s a shame because I like Miguel Ferrer.
