"The Bionic Woman" (2007)

Based on: "The Bionic Woman" (1976-1978)

Hit or Miss? Miss

The original was a campy product of the 70s -- Fembots! Bionic romance! Truth-serum shampoo! -- while the new version was dark, moody and miscast. Just a hint: When the villain in your pilot (played by Katee Sackhoff) is infinitely more interesting than your hero and main character, you've got a problem.
