The Bionic Woman Returns: Why?
Posted by Michael Pinto on Oct 11, 2006 in Television |
A remake of a spinoff? Is there a law in Hollywood against doing something new? And I bet those bastards don’t even let poor Lindsay Wagner get a cameo role, thus forcing her to do more matress commercials:
“David Eick, executive producer of SCI FI Channel’s original series Battlestar Galactica, will reinvent another 1970s SF show: The Bionic Woman, which he will executive-produce with film writer Laeta Kalogridis for SCI FI’s parent TV network, NBC, Variety reported. The original spinoff of The Six Million Dollar Man starred Lindsay Wagner as tennis-pro-turned-superwoman Jamie Sommers; it aired for two seasons on ABC before shifting to NBC in 1977 for its final year.”
