The Bionic Woman
To maintain the show's plausibility, creator/executive producer Kenneth Johnson set very specific limits on Jaime Sommers's abilities. He elaborated, "When you’re dealing with the area of fantasy, if you say, ‘Well, they’re bionic so they can do whatever they want,’ then it gets out of hand, so you’ve got to have really, really tight rules. [Steve and Jaime] can jump up two stories but not three. They can jump down three stories but not four. Jaime can’t turn over a truck but she can turn over a car." These limits were occasionally incorporated into episodes, such as "Kill Oscar Part 1," in which Jaime is forced to make a jump that's too far down for her bionic legs, causing massive damage to them and nearly causing her death as a result.
Jaime Sommers (The Bionic Woman)
In 2007, NBC launched a reimagined "Bionic Woman". This remake presented fans a unique 21st vision for the Bionic Woman. Very few elements of the original series were kept, except for the first and last names of the main character. The 21st-century writers placed "Easter Eggs" throughout the series that referenced the original TV series, many of which were subtle. In the remake, Jamie's full name was Jaime Wells Sommers, a homage to the earlier series' character Dr. Rudy Wells.
