Writers Strike Could Kill The Bionic Woman

I really hope that doesn't happen. Thus far, I am really enjoying this show.

At least some more episodes of the show have been ordered by NBC apparently. I just hope the ratings don't keep falling, because overall, I'm enjoying this show. It has some decent potential.

They didn't....

"Bionic Woman," "Journeyman" and "Chuck" were among the shows that received an additional three-script order to the season

That's not three episodes, that's three scripts. There is a huge difference.

I just hope the ratings don't keep falling, because overall, I'm enjoying this show. It has some decent potential.

They keep falling....

Capping off the 9 p.m. hour was NBC’s fading Bionic Woman (Viewers: #4, 7.78 million; A18-49: #4, 3.3/ 8)

I'd probably keep watching Bionic Woman .. At least that is fun compared
to Criminal Minds which I always end up solving the case 20 minutes into
the show.

Continuing its ratings freefall, NBC’s “Bionic Woman” hit a new low Wednesday night and came in last place among major networks in the 9 p.m. hour.

After such a strong start last month, “Bionic” has dropped with every telecast amid ongoing behind-the-scenes showrunner turmoil. In its six episodes, the “Bionic” narrative has paired Michelle Ryan’s Jamie Summers with several potential on-screen partners rotating through the show as if on a lazy Susan, looking for a match.

Meanwhile the show has similarly cycled through producers, with reports of writer Jason Katims (“Friday Night Lights”) recently taking over the writers room, and others reporting that Jason Cahill (“The Sopranos”) is running the show, all of which continue to receive a “no comment” from NBC (itself a sign of trouble—who’s in charge of a prime-time show should not be a backroom secret).

Well, all of that doesn't sound too good. Not good at all.

Agreed...

[Onyxheart]

Agreed...

Keep the faith, it's not over yet. And even at rock bottom it is still holding steady and bringing in more viewers than some of NBC's other shows that are considered "solid." NBC has pics of Jaime in ads for online episodes around the net, which is another good sign, and word is after the strike they are going to do a relaunch with more solid story lines, better character development, etc.

This show has a lot of potential that was not well spent in the first few months, but the potential to excel is still there. If it is repackaged and brought back it could still succeed.

[Kick-Kinsey]

Agreed...

the show 'died on its arse'

[lunarleviathan]

Remaking old Sci-fi is in fashion now, and for that reason Bionic Woman is unlikely to be dropped just yet. Production is confirmed to continue after the WGA strike is over (clicky.)

The way I see it is, it's following a current market trend, and it has the potential to gain new viewership through reruns during the WGA strike. It will definately see completion of it's first season, and I would expect them to order half of a second season to see if they can turn it around - provided the ratings aren't even more catastrophic for the remaining 5 episodes of season 1.
