Jaime Sommers, we hardly knew ye.
It looks like the character from NBC’s “Bionic Woman” finally faced some enemies she couldn’t defeat with a swift, cybernetically-enhanced kick to the face- bored viewers and some striking writers. According to The Guardian, once the 100-day writers strike ended, NBC released a list of shows that would return, but unfortunately “Bionic Woman” was not among them.
The show started out of the gate with great ratings last fall, albeit without great reviews from critics. As the show progressed along its initial eight episode run, it lost millions of viewers. Once the writers strike hit, “Bionic Woman” ran out of episodes and was not renewed for a second season.
NBC has yet to make the show’s cancellation official, but this doesn’t sound like good news for our cyborg heroine. --Chris Sardelli
