Not really a surprise, but NBC has pulled the plug on Bionic Woman.

Although NBC isn’t talking, I’m told by multiple sources that Bionic staffers were informed late last week that the troubled reboot has indeed been canceled. That means no spring relaunch under new show-runner Jason Cahill — which is too bad. Cahill’s a talented guy (see: The Sopranos), and I was anxious to see what he would do with the show. But I guess it wasn’t meant to be.

NBC is obviously cranky about something with the axes falling all around the studio!

Turns out that last week’s episode of the dismally rated show Bionic Woman was the last episode the show had taped. And because of the writer’s strike stopping production on the show, there is a chance that when the writers get back on the job that the show just won’t go back into production.

I couldn’t get into the show, although I love Crossing Jordan’s Miguel Ferrer.

We’ll keep you updated!

Well, nothing like getting your butt canned from the hottest television show in years and then deciding your comeback role will be as a recurring character in Bionic Woman. But that is exactly what Isaiah Washington is doing for his career comeback…. sheesh. He will appear in a five episode arc in the show’s freshman season on NBC. And reportedly, NBC is in the planning stage of a new action/drama show which will presumably star Isaiah Washington, and is based on a story idea of his.

I am pretty surprised NBC wants to even touch him with a ten foot pole. But I feel most sorry for those who are already connected to the project now having to put up with him… not exactly the ideal castmate!

Crossing Jordan fans have yet another thing to worry about… Miguel Ferrer who plays Garret Macy has signed onto the NBC pilot of The Bionic Woman.

“The Bionic Woman,” a remake of the 1970s series, stars British actress Michelle Ryan as Jaime Sommers, who has body parts replaced with super-strong artificial parts after a horrific accident. Ferrer will play the head of the government agency that rebuilt her, and Bowers (”Rescue Me”) will play her boyfriend.

Ferrer has played Dr. Garret Macy on “Crossing Jordan” for the past six seasons. The HR says that if “Bionic Woman” goes to series, he could possibly remain on both shows; however, he’s the second “Jordan” regular (after Jerry O’Connell) to take pilot work this spring, which may not bode well for its future.

I’d say it’s not looking very good for Crossing Jordan fans.
