What Parents Need to Know
About Bionic Woman
Parents need to know that this series is much darker and more intense than the 1970s version. The violence here is more graphic (including fights, car accidents, and more), the tone is bleaker, and the characters are more fully developed -- all of which makes the show more interesting for adults, but also more questionable for younger viewers. The main character's job as a bartender means that alcohol makes frequent appearances on screen.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about female TV characters today, versus when the original Bionic Woman aired. Do you think that female characters can now take on more dangerous assignments than they could in shows from the 1970s? Why or why not? Are women tougher today, either on TV or in real life? How does TV reflect our popular culture? Families can also talk about the media's fascination with spies and espionage. Why are they such popular topics?

not your mamas bionic woman
I grew up watching the original and this is definitely not the same show. Now, it's been many years since the original and I wasn't expecting the same show and I must say WOW. It was great, entertaining, but not for the younger set. It is definitely an adult program. My husband and I can't decide which to watch, Private Practice or Bionic Woman. Thanks Tivo.

Bionic Bore...
Disappointing, tsk tsk tsk. This show was boring beyond all belief, and I advise everyone to stay away from this disaster. If Lindsay Wagner was dead, she'd be rolling in her grave.

The new '07 version of the Bionic Woman
This program was not what I expected, it was very violent, small children to grade school should not watch this due to the vivid imagination they have. I thought the language could have been left out. The graphic car scene was very violent. I grew up watching the older 70s version of the Bionic Woman and this threw me for a loop. This program is not one of the ones I'll be watching often unless the language and violence is toned down for children since I have a grade school child in my home, and I don't particular like the images I saw from the first showing. Parents should reconsider watching this with your children.

Not worth wtaching on TV, but something to watch online.
Lame lines, bad acting and a sub-par soundtrack hold this show back from greatness, or from even being mediocre.
