Bionic Woman
By Jevon Phillips and Lora Victorio, Los Angeles Times Staff Writers
If it's true that what goes up must come down, than these TV shows are no exception. They had great buzz, but the shows haven't so far lived up to the hype. 'Bionic Woman' Jamie Summers returns! That was definitely the hype coming into this season for "Bionic Woman." Purists were cautiously optimistic, while "Alias" and "Buffy" viewers looked for the strong female action show. What happened?!?! Recasting a major role and recently getting a new showrunner (Jason Cahill), the onetime 70s hit is trying to draw and keep eyeballs, but it's not going well. The show dropped almost 3 million viewers from its "Deal or No Deal" lead (8.6 million viewers overall), and has not been hugged by critics (TV Envy says the show "is in desperate need of some oil around the joints.") |
