TBW started as a story in the SMDM, Steve meets an old flame, Jamie Sommers (Lindsay Wagner). They rekindle their romance, but tragedy strikes whilst on a day out skydiving, when Jaime's parachute becomes tangled and she crashes to Earth. Now in a critical condition, there is only one thing that can save Jaime's life. Steve begs Rudy (Alan Oppenheimer) and Oscar (Richard Anderson) to afford the same Bionic treatment that saved his own life. After much discussion they finally agree to do the operation, Jaime gets two legs, an arm and a super-sensitive ear. In the second part of the two part story, Jaime's body rejects the bionics and she eventually dies, but the character proved to be so popular she was resurrected and given her own series. In the series Jaime took the cover of a school teacher at Ventura airbase, but was also an agent for the O.S.I. like Steve, working for Oscar. Rudy also appeared in the series, but was played this time by Martin E. Brooks. The series has recently been resurrected, with ex-Eastender Michelle Ryan taking the title role. Was there any need for a second 'bionic' strip? Some may say the space was wasted because the series covered similar ground to The Six Million Dollar Man, but it must have kept the female readership happy, and it was always popular in the readers poll, and the 'bionic' theme was a very popular one, so much so that a bit of extra life was given to the characters when The Bionic Woman eventually finished, as Jaime and Steve joined forces in a short-lived strip called Bionic Action. The BW strip was drawn first by John M. Burns, who drew the strip in his fast-paced dynamic style. It was taken over later on by John Bolton, who's beautifully crafted paintings/drawings, were so good, sometimes it was easy to forget you were reading a comic strip. Some may say he was a bit wasted on comics, but we Look-in readers were grateful to have a such a great artist to grace our pages. Written by Angus P. Allan, the stories were varied and in the main very absorbing.

The series was created by Kenneth Johnson, but since it used concepts and characters devised by Martin Caidin for his novel, Cyborg, Caidin received a special credit in each episode. (However, the character of Jaime Sommers does not appear in any of Caidin's original Cyborg series novels.) The series ran for three seasons from 1976 to 1978; as with The Six Million Dollar Man, it debuted midway through a season, so as a result its first season was abbreviated. During its first two seasons the series featured occasional crossover episodes featuring Steve Austin, as well as two occasions ("The Return of Bigfoot" and "Kill Oscar") in which multi-part storylines were shared between the two series. Richard Anderson and Martin E. Brooks played their SMDM roles of Oscar Goldman and Dr. Rudy Wells in the new series. The Bionic Woman was actually cancelled by ABC after its second season (which was its first full-length season). It was picked up by NBC for a third and final season. Although there were no further crossovers with Steve Austin, both Anderson and Brooks continued to play their characters, becoming two of the first actors in TV history to play the same ongoing characters in two different television series airing on two different networks at the same time. Under the new network a new ongoing character, the bionic dog Maximillian, was added. Despite airing on another network, The Bionic Woman was cancelled in the spring of 1978 at the same time as its parent program. Wagner later reprised her role in a trilogy of made-for-TV reunion films between 1987 and 1994 that united the two series.

The series is a derivative of the television series the six million dollar Man and consists of three seasons. The series began as 2 double episodes in the six million dollar Man ("The Bionic Woman" and "The Return of The Bionic Woman"), in which Steve Austin's girlfriend and fiancée Jamie Sommers was. As a result of an accident during a parachute jump were her legs, right arm and right ear replaced with bionic implants were similar to that of Steve Austin. In the episode Doomsday is Tomorrow from the second season had to fight a supercomputer a Jaimie doomsday device threatened to activate that could destroy the world.
