Since NBC just launched the remake of the 70s sci-fi drama The Bionic Woman (I still love you Lindsay Wagner), some people are wondering if we'll ever see the original on DVD. TVGuide.com has an interesting story explaining why the original show (and the show it was spun off from, The Six Million Dollar Man) hasn't been released on DVD yet. And, you guessed it, is has to do with licenses and ownership.

No plans for a Smallville spinoff at this time
After the "Justice" episode of The CW's Smallville aired last Thursday there was plenty of speculation as to whether there would be a spinoff of either the Green Arrow character or maybe a live-action version of the Justice League. In fact, many commenters to Adam Finley's review, as well as Adam himself, thought they could watch a series based on Cyborg, Aquaman, Impulse and Green Arrow.
Folks, don't hold your breath. According to Rob Allstetter over at Comics Continuum there are no plans for a spinoff. That comes directly from Smallville executive producer Al Gough, whom Allstetter spoke with on the matter. However, that doesn't me you've seen the last of these heroes. According to Gough several members may return towards the end of the season.
Personally, I would love to see a live-action Justice League series. However, with the shape the The CW is currently in (the corporate term would be "sucky") I'm not too sure where it would fit on the schedule. Then again, with the huge success of NBC's Heroes this type of show may be just what the network needs to make it a success.
Smallville: Cyborg
While still not up to the "Pre-Reckoning" era (I'm very very worried that this is how
I'm going to start describing this season), last night's episode wasn't bad. Smallville has had a lot of fun
pulling different pieces and characters from not only Superman's mythos, but from all over the DC universe over the
years. Some episodes are just total fan service, and some are used to further the ongoing stories; last night's was a
little bit of both. One of my biggest hopes for Smallville, is that they get to put an "end" on it.
I want that final episode, and I want the team behind the show to know that they're making the final episode; not have
it sprung upon them after it's already been done. I think they could do a lot of fun things there, having
flash-forwards to his time with the JLA, pull in all the other characters they've shown - done right, it could make for
a great finale. Enough with my visions of the future though, let's get back to the here and now. On with the show!
