Pan or Praise: "Bionic Woman"
Last night ITV2 launched four new shows and little Zoe Slater from EastEnders became the Bionic Woman, pulling in over 2 million viewers to the channel.
I enjoyed it, Michelle Ryan's American accent for her character Jaime Sommers seemed fantastic – I was convinced! Seeing her as a more mature actress was a bit of a difficult thing for me to get my head around but by the end of the episode I had almost forgotten who she was.

"Bionic Woman" Gets Her Butt Kicked
Michelle Ryan — she's "Bionic Woman" if you don't know her face — has been spotted doing some serious working out at the gym with her trainer. From weight training, to hitting the elliptical to boxing, this girl sure has a well rounded workout, but I guess that is what it takes when you're the "Bionic Woman."
Take it from Ryan and try to switch it up at the gym.
What Are You Watching Tonight at 9?
One of fall TV's toughest time slots is Wednesday at 9 p.m. (that's 8 p.m. for you folks in the Central time zone).
Fall TV Preview: Five Total Toss-ups
All summer long, I've been giving you my first impressions of the networks' new shows. Now, with fall TV upon us, it's time to tell you which shows are deserving of space on your TiVo and which ... well, aren't.
How Bionic are You?
Apparently, I would not be a very good candidate for obtaining bionic body parts and saving the world. I've already spent more time than I should probably admit taking the Bionic Aptitude Test NBC has set up to promote its fall series "Bionic Woman." (Side note: How cool is the URL bat-test.com?
Comic-Con Videos: Almost As Good As Being There
If you love TV, and you read Phasekitty's reports from Comic-Con with envy, then here's some good news: NBC filmed the Comic-Con panels for returning favorite "Heroes" and new shows "Chuck" and "Bionic Woman," and highlights from them are now available online.
Even people at Comic-Con couldn't get into the "Heroes" panel, where it was announced that Kevin Smith will direct an episode of "Heroes: Origins." The line wrapped all the way around the convention center — several times.
Pilot Watch: "Bionic Woman"
The networks have announced their fall schedules, but which of the series will actually be worth watching? Throughout the summer, as I watch the pilots, I'll be posting my first impressions. Note that a lot can change before a show actually makes it to air, so these aren't comprehensive reviews, just quick thoughts on how the shows look now.
