The Bionic Woman
Created by Kenneth Johnson, Martin Caidin
On ABC
A 1970s action-adventure series built on the premise of a female cyborg spy, balancing spy-mission proceduralism with the novelty of bionic enhancement.
After fully recovering from her near fatal bout of bionic rejection, Jaime Sommers, the first female cyborg, is assigned to spy missions of her own.
