Rumors were buzzing back in December that NBC had canceled “Bionic Woman”. While things were on hold due to the writer’s strike, at that time “Bionic Woman” was not yet canceled.

TVGuide.com is now reporting the official news — NBC canceled “Bionic Woman.”

No official word has come from NBC, but TVGuide’s sources said that “Bionic Woman” staff were notified about the pending cancellation.

Has “Bionic Woman” Been Cancelled?

While “Bionic Woman,” starring Michelle Ryan, has been in danger of cancellation due to low ratings, it looks like rumors that “Bionic Woman” has been cancelled may very well be true.

Once the writers’ strike began, the cast of “Bionic Woman” were in limbo – production stopped and their contracts were suspended. With ratings plunging from an impressive 13.9 million viewers for the pilot to just 5.9 million by the eighth episode, things weren’t looking good for the drama.

The British newspaper Daily Star reported that a source said:

“This is devastating news for the cast. They loved working on the program. Michelle [Ryan] is going to be very upset. This was a huge break for her – a chance in a lifetime.

The show has been criticized. People complained about the poor storylines. But the writers have hardly any time to work with the characters. They were just getting used to them.”

UPDATE: TVGuide.com is reporting that “Bionic Woman” has not yet ben cancelled — an NBC Universal Media Studios spokesperson said, “Bionic Woman has not been cancelled. Production was shut down due to the WGA strike. In addition, we have not completed the initial 13-episode order, which will be the first order of business when the strike ends.”

The ominous “they” always see you miss what you no longer have. I guess that could be the case in the life of Bionic Woman, Jaime Sommers. She’s always been a “normal” person. That is, until she is in a nearly-fatal car accident. Her only chance at life is by using bionic body parts. Unfortunately, Jaime can’t always control them, and she had no choice but to accept this tainted gift of life.

The president of ABC, Stephen McPherson, has publicly declared that NBC’s president, Ben Silverman, must be “clueless or stupid” for hiring Isaiah Washington for Bionic Woman.

That should start a nice little war between two major networks right there.
