The series premise includes elements from "The Six Million Dollar Man" (1974) and "The Bionic Woman" (1976), such as Jamie Sommers being equipped with a bionic eye in addition to her ear. Furthermore, the trailer describes her as "Better, Stronger, Faster," the major catch phrase in the title sequence of The Six Million Dollar Man. Also, her middle name, "Wells," is the last name of the doctor in the aforementioned series.

I gotten more enjoyment from watching my microwave.

There really isn't a lot that one could say about Bionic Woman other than the fact that it might possibly be the worst show in the history of television. The suspense factor was absolute ZERO and I've seen better acting on RonCo infomercials at 4:00 in the morning. Am I one of these trolls that are out to bash every Sci-Fi title? Absolutely not, I love science fiction shows, but this is absolutely ridiculous. Its become painfully apparent that NBC is doing nothing more than attempting to piggyback off the success last years breakout sci-fi hit and so they blindly green-lit Bionic Woman expecting the same result. Mericfully NBC has a history of canceling shows rather quickly so with any luck they'll give Bionic Woman the window treatment in an attempt to fill the hour with worthwhile programming. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.....
