While NBC hasn’t officially cancelled their Bionic Woman series, unofficially, everyone knows that it’s not coming back – including co-executive producer David Eick.
Though Eick had great success working with Ron Moore on the remake of Battlestar Galactica, the new Bionic Woman just wasn’t a success. At Sci Fi Channel’s upfront presentation yesterday, he said, “I just felt that the process was so frustrating, and the conditions under which we were making that show never really came to fruition in such a way that I felt like we could make the show well. The actress [Michelle Ryan] we found was wonderful. Some of the writing was good.”
Though he’s disappointed that the show didn’t come together, Eick hints that perhaps we haven’t seen the last of Jaime Sommers – in some form. He concedes, “We just didn’t ever bring it all together like we did with Battlestar. At a certain point, when it becomes that frustrating, I think you’re better off to say, ‘Let’s try again another time,’ and let it go.” Stay tuned!

I just want to say that i will NOT be watching NBC anymore. I have no reason to. Where’s scrubs? Now i find out that Bionic Woman isn’t coming back? I have to SUFFER that repulsive Howie Mandel a full 7 nights, nope i can’t do that to myself. I don’t understand what’s the point when all you get is Ugly Medium with Patricia Arquette. Yuck, why in all these insufferable years, has she not got a hair cut? I like Office, and Thirty Rock, god love Tina Fey, but im just done. I’ve been completely let down, no will & grace, no scrubs, no reunions shows…not boring talk about the show, but reunion shows, my god exec’s wake up! I’d love a friends reunion show, with a story line, not the BS, of oh we loved taping this scene……who cares…so NBC, great job of shoving a bunch of crap out!! Job well done…on that you get a gold star, just a hint, the more you know about your viewers, the better you will be….so im out, later NBC. Also, Michelle Ryan…i love you and hopefully another network will pick up the show…..
I can’t understand why you think the show wasn’t a success. A lot of us had began to see the show develop. Come on, find new writers and come back. If you need me, I’ll be glad to write. I promise, it will be the best watched show on TV when I start writing for you. COME ON – let’s get busy people. We need some exciting TV!
Don’t cancel this great show. I don’t know about ratings, but its fans WANT MORE…!!!
I have this to say to NBC enough with the reality shows bring back this show that has great promise. Why can’t you people unerstand that we are tired of watching the biggest loser and deal or no deal BRING BACK BIONIC WOMAN WE NEED SOME GOOD TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When they do make a new bionic man or woman I want that Eick person to have NOTHING to do with it. He seems to be talentless.
I’ve only just watched all the episodes of Bionic Woman … NBC are retarded for cancelling it, it had so much potential. It was fantastic … NBC are idiots¬ Enough of the reality shows and bring something decent in. RENEW BIONIC WOMAN!!
thanks god , thanks NBC for cancelling this “sucky” show
