television II: later in the 2007 season

"NBC recently handed out full-season pickups to two of its four rookie scripted series, "Life" and "Chuck.""

ie. the only good shows on that network.
actually i think it's pretty amazing that the shows that i like were picked up. that hardly ever happens.

"In limbo is the fate of the fourth new NBC series, the once-promising "Bionic Woman," which has been sliding in the ratings since its premiere."

and that's because it sucks and people are finally admitting it. as a "the bionic man/woman" fan i wanted to like it, but it comes accross as sub-sci-fi network crap.
don't even get me started on the politics of it...let me just say that they reference "the rules" in one episode and the main character is constantly grousing about how tough it is to have superpowers. plus, the special effects are really lame, are not in slow motion, and are not accompanied by the sound that all authentic bionics must make.
