The Bionic Woman was a television series which spun off from The Six Million Dollar Man. It starred Lindsay Wagner as Jaime (sometimes, Jamie) Sommers, a tennis professional who was nearly killed in a sky diving accident, and was rebuilt by Oscar Goldman (Richard Anderson) and Dr. Rudy Wells (Martin E. Brooks), who had also rebuilt The Six Million Dollar Man. As the result of her surgical implantation, Jaime Sommers had amplified hearing, a greatly strengthened right arm, and enhanced legs, enabling her to run faster than a speeding car.

The series ran on the ABC from 1976 to 1977 and on NBC from 1977 to 1978.

But worry not, if you are a Bionic Woman’s fan, she is BACK! Of course, is not Lindsay Wagner, she is old already, how to bionic?

Introducing, the all NEW Bionic Woman, Michelle Ryan!

Bionic Woman is a re-imagining of the 1976 TV series of the same title (”The” is excluded from the title for this series). This series stars Michelle Ryan, Katee Sackhoff, Will Yun Lee and Mae Whitman, with David Eick as producer. On May 10, 2007, NBC announced that they’d given an early pick-up to the series for their Fall 2007 schedule, along with three other drama series - two of them also sci-fi themed. The official NBC Fall 2007 schedule was released on May 14, 2007 and Bionic Woman will be on Wednesdays at 9pm (Eastern Time) starting Fall 2007

Trailer after the jump…

The original series was a spin-off of The Six Million Dollar Man, which in turn was based upon the novel Cyborg by Martin Caidin, who subsequently received a special credit on the 1976-1978 The Bionic Woman TV series, even though the character of Jaime Sommers was not his creation. It remains to be seen if Caidin will be credited on the new version of Bionic Woman or if any references to The Six Million Dollar Man will be made. The website for the UK newspaper Daily Mail published photographs from the pilot film that reveal that instead of a bionic ear, Sommers will receive a bionic eye like that of Steve Austin, along with her bionic legs and bionic arm.

Get your first look at the all new BIONIC WOMAN, a re-imagination of the classic from David Eick (”Battlestar Galactica”).
