Bionic Woman Available on DVD Today

The first season of Bionic Woman is available on DVD today in the United States, just as the show is revving up in Michelle Ryan’s home market of the United Kingdom.
The DVD set includes all of the show’s episodes as well as a limited number of special features, including commentary from executive producer David Eick and a feature on real life bionics. There is also a stunt feature, which devoted fans have probably already seen on various promotional shows last fall, and some profiles of the actors.
The feature that everyone really wants seems to be absent. Imagine if this DVD set included the unaired second episode “Birds” and some information about why the original plots (and characters) were abandoned after the show’s premiere.
A television DVD set that dared to admit that “mistakes were made” and discuss them honestly is a rare sight on the modern media landscape, and even people who never watched the show are curious about what happened to Bionic Woman. What happened to Sarah Corvus, and her plea to Jaime to save her life? What happened to the plans of Jaime were stolen while she was in South America? Where did Anthony Anthros go? A DVD set that talked honestly about these Bionic mysteries would be a must-buy.
The list price for the DVD package is $29.99, but Amazon and other retail outlets have it on sale for $19.99 during the early days of the release. Katee Sackhoff fans can purchase season one of Bionic Woman and season three of Battlestar Galactica for a combined price of $58.98, a deal that includes free shipping.

Margie, I just read on blog.wired.com that there is an article stating that while NBC hasn’t confirmed this, Executive Producer David Eick has stated that “Bionic Woman” is officially dead. I just hope that this isn’t true. I have been reading for the past couple of months that they were trying to save this show from cancellation. Even, the petition to save the show has seen over 3000 signatures. I just purchased the DVD set yesterday. If this show is indeed cancelled, at least, I have these eight episodes to watch whenever I want. I thought this show had a chance.
