Bionic Interview: Lindsay Wagner Reveals Distaste for new "Bionic Woman"

by Ryan

image Uber celebrity insider Hollywood Joe nabbed an exclusive interview with the original Bionic Woman, Lindsay Wagner, at a Hollywood gathering Thursday.  When asked about the remake of her 1970s classic, a role for which she won an Emmy, Wagner revealed her thoughts.

“It’s very different,” she said at a Television Academy event. “It’s very much like what the shows are today, kind of dark and broody and violent - what people seem to be getting off on these days. So, it’s not at all what we were doing. We were doing a show for kids intentionally and making it fun and make it in such a way that adults could enjoy it too with their children. [The new show] is just a very different intention so I find it crazy that people try to compare it and ‘This is better or that is better.’ It’s not the same thing at all. It’s like, hello?”
I pipe in and say that the new bionic woman never tore a phone book in half in front of her class.
Says Wagner: “She doesn’t have a class, she works at a bar (laughs).”

We here at WatchingBionicWoman.com love the original Lindsay Wagner The Bionic Woman and have been hoping she would show up on the new version in a long story arc as a recurring character.  Possibly as a villain or even Sarah Corvus’ mother.  That would be delicious.

Let’s hope the show impresses her more to join because I think adding her to the mix would really improve the ratings as she is beloved for the role.

Note to the producers, fans want to see her in this show.  It will help your ratings.

About Bionic Woman

Welcome to the best site on the web for news about Bionic Woman! Bionic Woman is a re-imagined, updated television drama inspired by the original 1970s show starring Lindsey Wagner. Helmed by the same creative team responsible for reviving Battlestar Galactica on the Sci-Fi Channel, the new Bionic Woman is darker than the 1970s original series but not quite as dark as BSG. The new show stars Michelle Ryan as the title character, Jaime Sommers, and Katee Sackhoff as her nemesis/frenemy Sarah Corvus. Each episode provides Jaime with an opportunity to further adapt to her bionic implants, and plots usually focus on her struggles to raise her teenage sister Becca while fighting techno terrorism and other types of crime. Bionic Woman airs on channels around the world, and in the United States it appears on Wednesday nights at 9:00/8:00 Central on NBC.
