It’s not official yet, but NBC’s atrocious Bionic Woman remake has been cancelled, according to the show’s executive producer David Eick.

We really respect Eick, who also exec produces the phenomenal Battlestar Galactica, but Bionic Woman stunk from the get-go. Week after week, we marveled at how a team of professional writers could render unwatchable what should have been a slam dunk — an action show about a hot robo-chick kicking ass.

“I just felt that the process was so frustrating, and the conditions under which we were making that show never really came to fruition in such a way that I felt like we could make the show well,” Eick told SciFi Wire recently.

Then he dropped this bombshell, “At a certain point, when it becomes that frustrating, I think you’re better off to say, ‘Let’s try again another time,’ and let it go.”

Did Eick just threaten another Bionic Woman remake? Wasn’t one trip back to the nanite-infested well enough for one lifetime?

If Eick really wants to do another half-woman/half-robot remake, we’d like to make a suggestion. We’ve been dying for someone to reboot Small Wonder, that cheesy 80s sitcom about a family that adopts a robot named Vicki, which we always assumed was a veiled metaphor about a married couple who bring a vibrator into their home to solve their marital problems.

But that’s just our take on it. We may be wrong.
