In this clip from the original 1970s runnel of theBionic Woman , you ’ll discover something that ’s missing in the new show . No , it ’s not baggy grey sweat suits . Star Lindsay Wagner may look unathletic here ( not that I could do any better ) , but she clearly takes delight showing off her bionic abilities . We never see that in the new show .
Why are n’t there any bionic showoff scene in Bionic Woman 2007 , despite all the publicity claptrap about how this time around Jaime Sommers is going flex some muscle ? Instead we ’ve seen a Bionic Woman who woodenly speak “ you - go - daughter ” bromide while displaying a wishy - washy reluctance to show off in front of the boy . It ’s a sorry country of affairs when the original Jaime Sommers seems to have a better handle on her power than the allegedly updated model .
