Bionic Woman Hits New Low

This past week, Bionic Woman hit an all new low in the ratings, coming in last against the other major network shows in the time slot. The show’s steady decline was originally blamed on a change in management as a variety of showrunners and writers have come and gone. A few weeks ago, […]
