NOW it’s Official: Bionic Woman is Cancelled

Well this kinda sucks. While I wasn’t instantly enamored with the new Bionic Woman when I first saw it, and indeed, I missed the next couple of episodes, I thought it had potential. Well nevermind that now, because even though we reported that the show was cancelled a while back, the show’s producer David Eick has now officially confirmed to Sci Fi Wire that Bionic Woman is, indeed, done. Although, curiously, NBC still hasn’t said a word about it. Kinda cruel of them, don’t you think, dangling the fans along like this?

David Eick, co-executive producer of NBC’s SF series Bionic Woman, confirmed to SCI FI Wire that the network has indeed canceled the show, though the network has not yet officially said as much.

“I just felt that the process was so frustrating, and the conditions under which we were making that show never really came to fruition in such a way that I felt like we could make the show well,” Eick said in an interview at SCI FI Channel’s upfront presentation to advertisers in New York on March 18. “The actress [Michelle Ryan] we found was wonderful. Some of the writing was good.”

But, he added: “We just didn’t ever bring it all together like we did with Battlestar. At a certain point, when it becomes that frustrating, I think you’re better off to say, ‘Let’s try again another time,’ and let it go.”

The show may be gone, but Michelle Ryan will probably still be around. A woman that gorgeous will always fine a job on American television.
