As part of an ongoing effort to improve ratings, NBC is looking toward the past to improve its future. The network - a unit of General Electric (NYSE: GE) - has been in fourth place among the major networks for the past three years and suffered a well-publicized swing-and-a-miss with this season's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. On Monday, when NBC reveals its schedule for the 2007-2008 television season, we might see a familiar title, with a new version of The Bionic Woman possibly on the schedule. The original version aired for three seasons in the mid-70s as a spinoff of The Six Million Dollar Man. It starred Lindsay Wagner as Jamie Sommers, the first female cyborg.
Other possible new offerings at the Peacock include Chuck, featuring a computer whiz who becomes a spy and Journeyman, a fantasy drama with time travel as its main premise. Shows already slated to return include 30 Rock, Heroes, The Office, and the ubiquitous Deal or No Deal.
