Bartender Jaime Sommers struggles to make ends meet in San Francisco, California, while serving as a surrogate mom to her teenage sister. Nearly killed in a car accident, Jaime is saved by a cutting-edge operation—performed by her boyfriend, Will Anthros—that leaves her with advanced bionic prosthetics and implants with extraordinary new strength, among other artificially enhanced gifts. Now, however, Jaime must figure out how best to use her new abilities while embracing her new bionic identity. The following is a list of episodes for the 2007 Television Series Bionic Woman. ...

The website for the UK newspaper Daily Mail published photographs from the pilot film that reveal that in addition to a bionic ear, Sommers will receive a bionic eye like that of Steve Austin, along with her bionic legs and bionic right arm.^[33] Clips from the pilot episode posted on the show's official preview webpage also reveal that she will have a bionic ear and be injected with nanomachines called anthrocytes that heal her body at a highly accelerated rate.^[34] The Daily Mail is a British newspaper, currently published in a tabloid format. ...

Johnson has confirmed on his website that he is not involved with the new Bionic Woman series.^[35] Since the rights to The Six Million Dollar Man and Cyborg are held by other parties, the characters of Oscar Goldman and Dr. Rudy Wells from the original franchise have been replaced by new creations and it has yet to be seen whether they or the character of Steve Austin will appear in the new series. The new version of Sommers is outfitted with a bionic eye; this is a piece of hardware established by Caidin in his original novel as being given to Austin and used in the subsequent TV series (the original Jaime Sommers did not possess one); thus far, this is the only overt reference to Martin Caidin's original concepts in evidence.
