Bionic Woman Ratings Rant

Jaime Sommers is in trouble, or more specifically her ratings are. And I hate hate hate that this has become the talking point about Bionic Woman on all of these blogs! You can spin anything, and unfortunately the spin on BW’s ratings has been bad bad bad for weeks now … even when the ratings were higher than other shows that were getting “good ratings” articles. Now that the ratings really are really bad, all of the talk leading up to now will make it even harder for the show to recover.

Not saying that the show does not deserve to be slammed a bit. Or a lot. We all know it has issues, and even when it is good it is still uneven at times. But they have been through three show runners, and even when it is bad Bionic Woman is still a damn good time. Now that the show is finally getting stable, and the cast is perking up thanks to the addition of sexy Jordan Bridges, things are set up to get really good. I am looking forward to what happens next, and really hoping all of the doom & gloom hype is wrong and the show does not get canceled.

But I may be one of the few who has not given up hope … especially when it seems that some bloggers are almost rooting for the show to go off the air. Not to say folks are not entitled to their opinion, but give the show a chance folks. Television bloggers are a bit like cattle in a way, whichever way the stampede is going we usually go that way too … easier to stick with the herd. This week the herd is shouting doom and gloom, and it is depressing as hell.

But hopefully the herd will change direction. Thanks to Jim & Roco over on Bionic Blog for reminding me that Bionic Woman news tends to change as often as the weather. A couple weeks ago the spin was all about how show was on the rebound, remember? A new person was taking over and new episodes had been ordered, things were looking up, etc. With the writers strike everything is doom and gloom this week anyway … but additional Bionic Woman episodes were ordered a while back, so there is still time and hope for BW and its ratings, and related the spin, to turn around.

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.
