That’s the rumor floating around the ‘net in recent days: that NBC has decided to ax it’s troubled Bionic Woman TV series. The show, an “update” of the classic TV series of the same name, starred British actress Michelle Ryan as a young woman who becomes bionic after a brutal car accident, and is recruited by government forces to fight evil. The show has had a long history of creative problems among its staff, and with declining ratings… Well, is it over for the Bionic Woman?
The news comes from Hollyscoop TV, who says that the show has been “scrapped after just eight episodes due to the writer’s strike and a massive drop in viewer ship.” Now I haven’t been able to find any official announcement of this, so I can’t deny or confirm the cancellation rumors.

An insider says, “This is devastating news for the cast. They loved working on the program. Michelle 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.”
Again, there have been no official word from NBC on this…
