"Bionic Woman" Still Kicking?
Is there still life left in that bionic body?
TV Guide claims that NBC hasn't canceled freshman drama Bionic Woman, despite all signs to the contrary.
Series, which hasn't completed its 13-episode initial order, was scheduled to relaunch in January with a two-parter that would rejigger the creaky series, plagued by creative problems and behind-the-scenes departures of several executive producers, including James Morgan and pilot director Michael Dinner.
However, production on the beleaguered drama--which stars Michelle Ryan as bionically enhanced Jaime Sommers--was curtailed in the wake of the WGA Strike and currently has no completed scripts to produce.
An unnamed NBC Universal spokesperson was quick with a statement to the effect that Bionic Woman hasn't been canned: "Bionic Woman has not been canceled. Production was shut down due to the WGA strike. In addition, we have not completed the initial 13-episode order, which will be the first order of business when the strike ends."
What do you think? Should NBC attempt to resuscitate Bionic Woman? Or should they put the series into cold storage? Discuss.
