The Bionic Woman (1976 series)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Adaptation Displacement: Each episode credits the show as being based upon Martin Caidin's novel Cyborg. But you'll never find Jaime Sommers in any of Caidin's books, as she was created by Kenneth Johnson. The credit for Caidin was mandated by the use of Oscar Goldman, Rudy Wells and the occasional appearance by Steve Austin, plus the fact the series continued the concept of bionics as established by Caidin in his original novel.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome (many, such as the episode in which she outruns a 100 MPH race car, and another in which she tears a phone book in half to intimidate a group of unruly students)
  • Recycled Premise
  • Recycled Script: As noted above, the series was guilty of this several times in its first season due to the extremely short notice given between its commissioning and its debut.
  • Special Effect Failure
