In 2012, a comic book version (featuring a Jaime who is not averse to breaking necks when threatened) was launched, but it was replaced in the summer of '14 with Bionic Woman Season 4, which more resembles the old TV show.

There were rumors of new movie or TV series based on Bionic Woman, including a cable series which would have starred Jennifer Aniston, and a re-imagining in which the title was simply a metaphor and the lead character had no powers at all.Ī short-lived remake aired on NBC in 2007, which was closer in spirit to Martin Caidin's novel series ( Cyborg) upon which Six Mill was based. The second introduced a next-gen bionic woman played by a pre-fame Sandra Bullock as a backdoor pilot for a revival which never got made. Revivals and remakesA trio of reunion movies with Six Mill were aired between 1987-94. Bionic Woman ended its third and final season as the 14th-most watched show in the country. NBC was in such dire straits that it must have seemed like a godsend when Wagner gave them excuse to yank it.
NBC didn't exactly push back when Wagner, who appears in nearly every scene, decided she wanted out. The drowning series was picked up by NBC in '77. The second season would see a slight drop in the ratings.and a cancellation order. The slo-mo effect was inspired, according to producer Harve Bennett, by the iconic instant replays of NFL Films. Like Six Mill, the special effects are a product of their time, mainly because the stunts looked silly at full-speed so sayeth Lee Majors on the 2010 DVD release of his series.
He is scheduled to be put down, on suspicion of having an age-related variant of bionic rejection, before Jaime intervenes she discovers that his erratic behavior is actually pyrophobia, a result of nearly dying in a lab fire when he was younger. One of the crossovers with Six Mill featured a run-in with Bigfoot.ĭuring the final season, an attempt was made to shake things up things by saddling Jaime with a "Bionic Dog" named Max, a German shepherd who was one of the early successes of bionic program. That didn't stop it from occasionally tilting into fantasy: the "Fembots" in Austin Powers are a spoof of the lifelike androids on this show. Consequently, the show is lampooned less-frequently than Six Mill. Her adventures are down-to-earth and less violent than Steve's. One got the feeling that (unlike Austin) she could lose all her augmentations and not care much. One of the keys to the show's success (it often beat its parent program) was Wagner's wry, 'girl next-door' performance as Jaime.
Jaime boooiiiiiiings from one assignment to the next: a briefing from Oscar, a bit of espionage, some humorous "pocket bionics" ( showrunner Kenneth Johnson's term for the bionics being used in a domestic context), and the big action conclusion. In-between clapping erasers together, she is occasionally - and reluctantly - deployed on various OSI missions. Since her bionics gave her an unfair advantage on the court, Jaime left the tennis circuit to teach problem children at Ventura Air Force Base, near her hometown of Ojai. On very short notice, the network commissioned a spin-off for January 1976. Viewer response to Jaime was so positive that ABC ordered the producers of Six Mill to revamp the third season opener to make room for a two-parter retconning Jaime death. What Steve didn't know is that over the summer hiatus of re-runs, Jaime didn't die on the operating table, but was saved at the last second by " cryogenic therapy," but at a price: no memory of Steve.
