Please judge this series in the context of the '70's. Jaime Sommers was the first official female heroine of a 1 hour show. Lindsay Wagner went on to win an Emmy Award for her role (also a first in the science fiction genre), Gillian Anderson being second with the X-Files. The series was ahead of its time when it originally aired and should not be compared to today's standards for special effects and so on. Lindsay brought a real human quality to the portrayal of Jaime and fought hard with producers to reduce the violent content of the show. Now, finally it is being reeased on DVD: Long live The Bionic Woman and Lindsay Wagner!
