The series premise includes elements from "The Six Million Dollar Man" (1974) and "The Bionic Woman" (1976), such as Jamie Sommers being equipped with a bionic eye in addition to her ear. Furthermore, the trailer describes her as "Better, Stronger, Faster," the major catch phrase in the title sequence of The Six Million Dollar Man. Also, her middle name, "Wells," is the last name of the doctor in the aforementioned series.

Not worth spending an hour

I saw the pilot of Bionic Woman (at the Comicon in San Diego in July 2007)

I first didn't want to but since I wanted to go to the Heroes' panel which was just after I had to sit through the presentation of the show and we (me and 6000 other people) watched the pilot.

Let me tell you ... there wasn't much applause after it ended since it's really common.

The FX were really bad (they told us they'd work on them), the story is SO uninteresting : she has an accident, she gets new body parts and she can jump from one building until the other...

no surprises, the characters are not really moving... everything is just plain boring..

I'm quite sure this show will get canceled after a couple of episodes since there are far better series around.

More, at the end of the episode in San Diego, we were introduced to the actress (who seems to be nice), the producer and the director and... get what... they noticed people in the room didn't like it... more they tried to justify their choices and that the show was going to be much better...

well, I've seen enough... and frankly I won't tune in to see the rest.
