Bionic Womanhas received a boost as NBC have ordered three more scripts for the series. This is a glowing sign of faith for the show which many believed redeemed itself last night after a less than impressive “Paradise Lost” episode:
NBC announced some good news for its quad of new dramas today, ordering three more scripts each for Chuck, Bionic Woman, Journeyman and Life. While this is certainly great news for each of these series, it does not necessarily mean each show will be picked up for the full season. It is, however, typically seen as a precursor to a full-season order. Chuck and Bionic Woman are not big surprises here: both have received solid ratings, especially in the key demos. Journeyman and Life getting re-upped is a bit of a shock, considering the declining ratings both dramas have received. But, if NBC has proved anything over the last few years, it’s that if they are confident in a show’s creative direction, they will practice extreme patience. FOX, NBC is not.
