"Bionic Woman," Not So Much
Word is out all over that the creatively troubled NBC "Bionic Woman" series is in ratings free fall. Worst week yet featured headlines like "Bionic Woman Hits Bottom" and "Bionic Collapse."
Poor Jaime Sommers drew less than 6.5 million total viewers on Wednesday night, less than half of the audience for the show's promising pilot.
This had everything going for it - including a smart cast with Michelle Ryan, Katee Sackhoff and Miguel Ferrer, and an intriguing noir take on the 1970s franchise. But from ep #2, obvious problems with the show's direction - and less obvious backstage turmoil - have been chipping away at its appeal. What was lacking: a strong behind-the-scenes hand like Joss Whedon with a creative vision for the show and the power to make it go.

The odds are
ZERO PERCENT!
I just finished watching the latest episode and it was awful. I guess there is one less show I have to worry about. I'll keep recording the upcoming episodes, and if I read that Katee Sackhoff is going to make an appearance I'll watch, otherwise I'll skip it until the show runs through its paces to its timely death.
