Despite this, elements of Steve Austin's bionics are incorporated into Jaime, most notably her bionic eye.

* NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity: Inverted bigtime for several reasons:
** The original pilot depicted Becca, Jaime's sister, as being hearing impaired. The decision to cast a non-deaf actress in the role caused major controversy. So the producers decided to change the character to someone with regular hearing instead, which annoyed people even more (and left Becca with essentially no personality at all beyond "bratty teenager").
** The show cast Isaiah Washington in a major role. Not a big deal, except that the time he was the center of a firestorm of controversy and considered persona non grata by many after being fired from ''Grey's Anatomy'' for reportedly uttering gay slurs. This led to protests against ''Bionic Woman'' for hiring him and the promise by some to boycott the series outright (the fact his character [[spoiler: is killed off]] didn't appear to help).

That's when an adaptation is more well known / famous than the original creation.
