    The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

    Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

    I grew up with all those series from the end of the seventies, early eighties so when they become available I try to pick them up. So I did with The Bionic Woman but it just couldn't fulfill my expectations. I have seen The Six Million Dollar Man last year and it was great. I never had any problem with the way it was done with the effects. But here with this series it sometimes do has a cheesy feeling. I have seen so many things that looked laughable and didn't stand up for the time being. I mean, if a door is blocked by a stone and Jaime (Lindsay Wagner) is given her force against the rock it's so easy to spot that it isn't a real rock and when she do split the rock with her feet just look, you could see that it was made from styrofoam. It never occurred to me that I saw those cheesy things with the Six Million Dollar Man. Some effects were rather good, like her leg being damaged and it reveales the wires inside.Don't misunderstand me, it isn't all that bad, Lindsay do give a good performance and being a spin-off of the Six Million Dollar Man it do works sometime but when Lee Majors do appear it do level up a bit. Let me also say that Claws was the strangest thing to experience. Back then everything was possible. There weren't any restrictions and it shows. Just see how a real lion walks in a class full of children. They even may touch him. Can't think that's possible nowadays. In that particular episode all animals do walk around on a ranch, from ape to lion to elephant to everything you get in your mind. But not only that, in Claws the lion even opens a door. It's a close-up of his claws opening the door, and it's so clear that it was a fake leg from the lion. It makes it all so cheesy, really.They also used real footage from the army when necessary, a thing they also did in The Six Million Dollar Man. For me it's between The Six Million Dollar Man (the use of the sound and slo- mo when using her bionic powers) and Wonder Woman (the cheesy use of styrofoam). A mediocre series.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

    There is no stopping the phenomenon that was and still is to this day The Bionic Woman!! 35 yrs down the road we're still talking' and makin' references to this show. There was nothing i wanted more than to experience the thrill of jumping over wells and busting through doors as a child. now.. as an adult it brings back old memories of playing Fembots in the yard with the neighborhood kids and now that they're all back on DVD i enjoy watching them and yes i have to laugh a little at the cheesiness of some of it , but oh well! you can't put a price on memories like that!! To those of you who never experienced it the first time around check out clips posted by fans from all over the world online and judge for yourself. Jaime Sommers rules.. now and forever!!!!

    If the original Bionic Woman already came out on DVD, then why not have the original on Blu-Ray. It would be terrific that the classic Bionic Woman television shows are in high definition. How about having the sound remix in either Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound or Dolby True High Definition 7.1 surround sound instead of the original mono sound version. I think Dolby Digital Surround Sound sounds more realistic than the original mono version. So how about the same for the 2007 remake version starring Michelle Ryan? The sooner this will happen, the sooner the Blu-Ray version will be release. It is an excellent idea to have the original and remake version on blue-ray.

    Most spin-off shows must be viewed with caution as they are usually pale imitations of their predecessors. The Bionic Woman was not one of them.The beautiful Lindsay Wagner played bionic woman Jamie Sommers. She was joined by Richard Anderson as Oscar Goldman and Martin E. Brooks as Dr. Rudy Wells. She worked for the OSI agency (it's amazing how in the 60's and 70's there were so many government agencies fighting evil on the small screen). Jamie had had an airplane accident and she was rebuilt. She was given bionic legs, a bionic arm and a bionic ear (no doubt used for listening to gossip).Like most shows of that era, The Bionic Woman was fun as Jamie Sommers fought all sorts of threats from Bigfoot to Fembots to aliens and also a few more down to earth threats as well. I really loved the theme tune and the action sequences to this show. The acting was great on the part of the three leads and the show had a mixture of stories from comedy episodes to dark episodes. Popping in from time to time was Steve Austin (not the WWF/WWE star but the Six Million Dollar Man played by Lee Majors).All in all, a great show which is better than it has ever been given credit for.
