TV on DVD: 'The Bionic Woman' and more

By DIANE WERTSdiane@tvworthwatching.comOctober 22, 2010

THE BIONIC WOMAN

Series This iconic '70s series is more serious than you remember. It's no accident that star Lindsay Wagner won an Emmy as the high-tech heroine, lending a soulful humanity to what could have been fly-by-night fantasy. Wagner's gutsy derring-do inspired an entire generation of empowered females.

Extras Warm retrospective half-hour with great new interviews (Wagner, Richard Anderson, creator Kenneth Johnson), gag reel, more.

List price $40 for 4 discs, Universal
