According to Zap2it:
NBC is bringing "The Bionic Woman" back to life, courtesy of "Battlestar Galactica" writer-producer David Eick.
The network has given a cast-contingent pilot order to the remake of the 1970s show and also greenlit two other pilots: the cop drama "Fort Pit," from the producers of "Rescue Me," and a spy series called "Chuck" co-written by "O.C." creator Josh Schwartz.
Eick and Laeta Kalogridis ("Alexander," "Birds of Prey") are co-writing and executive producing the "Bionic Woman" update, the showbiz trade papers report. The show is based on the 1970s series, a spinoff of "The Six Million Dollar Man," about a woman (Lindsay Wagner) who suffers a traumatic accident and has her body rebuilt with artificial parts that give her extraordinary strength and speed.
NBC's sister studio, NBC Universal TV, is producing the pilot.
"Chuck," meanwhile, comes from Warner Bros. TV. Schwartz and Chris Fedak are writing the script, a drama about twentysomething spies that's infused with dark humor, a la "Grosse Pointe Blank."
Finally, NBC has given the go-ahead to "Fort Pit," which is based on the experiences of former New York City cop Robert Cea. It centers on a crime-ridden Brooklyn precinct staffed by green officers and discipline cases who are playing out the string of their careers.
"Law & Order" veteran Michael Chernuchin wrote the original draft of the script, and "Rescue Me" co-creator Peter Tolan took a shot at it as well. Both will serve as exec producers along with Tolan's "Rescue Me" partner Denis Leary and Jim Serpico. Tolan will also direct the pilot.

Oh yeah that... almost forget! That was a bit of a surprise. My wife even asked "what did he say this time?"
The whole partner thing was poorly written anyway. In one episode Jaimie leaves the guy because he is wanting to kill the courier they came to save because he saw the data involved, and the next episode they are best friends again, then the next episode she thinks he's working with an assassin and gets killed.
Makes me wonder if this show is being written by scabs since the writers are on strike.

Yeah, what a shame - the most highly anticipated show of the season and just terrible stories. I know they were working off the idea of BSG, modernizing the 70s story, but BSG retained basic core characters (even if Starbuck is a woman instead of a guy) and the same basic story; BW did nothing to draw in the 30 - 49 age group who loved the original.
Then again, its NBC, we should not expect much.... except for lame ass reruns of it to appear on Universal HD before too long.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.
