Bionic Woman (2007 TV series)
Bionic Woman is an American science fiction television drama that aired in 2007, which was created by David Eick, under NBC Universal Television Group, GEP Productions, and David Eick Productions. The series was a re-imagining of the original television series, "The Bionic Woman", created by Kenneth Johnson, which in turn was based upon the novel "Cyborg" by Martin Caidin and its TV adaptation "The Six Million Dollar Man", retaining its forebears' premise while taking on a more contemporary setting. David Eick also serves as executive producer alongside Laeta Kalogridis and Jason Smilovic. Production of the series was halted due to a strike by the Writers Guild of America causing only eight episodes to be aired. Following its failure to be included in the Fall 2008 schedule it was announced that the series was canceled as the result of low ratings.

The series met with a largely negative reception. Mary McNamara of the "Los Angeles Times" wished that the episodes following the pilot were just as good as the pilot itself, and wanted Katee Sackhoff to play the lead role.
Alessandra Stanley of "The New York Times" felt that "Bionic Woman" was more about "fembot martial arts and slick Matrix-ish special effects" oriented toward young male viewers "[rather] than about character development".
