Bionic Woman (2007 TV series)
Since the rights to the novel "Cyborg" by Martin Caidin were held by other parties, the new series excluded any overt elements from it (although it did not prevent the writers from giving Jaime elements of bionics from the original novel, such as a bionic eye). This was the same for the character Steve Austin from the "Six Million Dollar Man", of which the original "The Bionic Woman" was a spin-off. Neither Kenneth Johnson nor Martin Caidin received screen credit on the new series, where they did in the original "Bionic Woman". Johnson has confirmed on his website that he had no involvement with the new "Bionic Woman" series. Lindsay Wagner, the original Bionic Woman, also played no part in the new series. Wagner said, "On a technical level, it was very good, but I don't think they understood the show. It was steeped in that old-school thinking. It was like a lot of things today, angry and dark."

The SyFy Portal, citing a "TV Guide" column, suggested that the series cast and crew have been told that production has ended, although NBC has made no official announcement as to the series' fate as of that date and the blog author stressed that the news was only a rumor.
David Eick, the series' co-executive producer, confirmed on March 19, 2008 that the series had been canceled, although the network has still not officially announced it.
The series was subsequently not included in the Fall 2008 schedule announced by NBC in early April 2008. As of September 2009 NBC still had a "Bionic Woman" website running, though elements were disabled. The NBC Message Boards have discontinued the "Bionic Woman" forum.
