ComingSoon.net has posted NBC's 2007-08 primetime schedule, which includes new details on "Bionic Woman," that will air Wednesdays from 9-10 p.m.:Struggling as a bartender and surrogate mom to her teenage sister, Jaime Sommers (Michelle Ryan, "EastEnders") didn't think life could get much harder. But when a devastating car accident leaves her at death's door, Jaime's only hope for survival is a cutting-edge, top-secret technology that comes at a hefty price. With a whole new existence and a debt to re-pay, Jaime must figure out how to use her extraordinary abilities for good, while weighing the personal sacrifices she will have to make. Ultimately, it's Jaime's journey of self-discovery and inner strength that will help her embrace her new life as the Bionic Woman. Also starring are: Mae Whitman ("State of Grace") as Becca, Jaime's younger sister; Miguel Ferrer ("Crossing Jordan") as Jonas, the man who employs Jaime's boyfriend; Chris Bowers ("Rescue Me) as Will, Jaime's boyfriend, who performs the operation; Will Yun Lee ("Witchblade") as Jae, the specialized operations leader; and Molly Price ("Third Watch"), as Ruth, Jonas' second-in-command. "Bionic Woman" is produced by NBC Universal Television Studio and executive-produced by David Eick ("Battlestar Galactica"), Glen Morgan ("The X-Files"), Michael Dinner ("Kidnapped") -- who also directed the pilot -- and Jason Smilovic ("Lucky Number Slevin"). Laeta Kalogridis ("Birds of Prey") is also an executive producer on the pilot.

Man, I don't remember anything about Jamie Somers' internal struggle in the original show. I just remember that they faked her death for some reason and later she got a bionic dog.
FEMBOTS!
Excellent point. I think those showed up on Steve Austin's show, too.
God, did any of you guys see Bionic Breakdown, a movie they did in the early 90s?
I just remember that the whole "fembots" thing was incredibly scary. I remember when they'd actually replaced Oscar Goldman with a fembot (!) and the only way Steve Austin could figure it out was by dropping a pencil on the carpeting and waiting for "Oscar Goldman" to step on it. When he saw the crushed pencil, we zoom in on Lee Majors' incredulous reaction (e.g. no facial expression at all, as usual) and the music was scary.
The music was great for that show!
is it my imagination, or has every role of "the head of the organization that takes the helpless woman and turns her into a killing machine" in recorded history been played by miguel ferrer?
No, sometimes it's Donald Plesance.
