"Bionic Woman" Gets Top Buzz
NBC's re-imagined version of the classic 1970s series "The Bionic Woman" and ABC's critically-blasted comedy "Cavemen" received the highest score in viewer buzz, awareness and intent to watch, according to a new study by TV Dailies.
Last year many had believed NBC's series about ordinary people with extraordinary powers entitled "Heroes" would flop, but the rookie drama quickly became one of last season's biggest success stories, and buzz-meters accurately predicted that.
This year, the spotlight is on the Michelle Ryan-fronted sci-fi drama "The Bionic Woman," ABC's silly comedy "Cavemen" and, get this - CBS' new reality series "Kid Nation" that took Jericho's spot on Wednesday nights.
ABC's quirky drama "Pushing Daisies" was fourth on the awareness list, followed by CBS drama "Cane," Fox reality show "Next Great American Band," Fox drama "K-Ville," NBC drama "Journeyman," and CBS sitcom, "The Big Bang Theory."
As many as 3 shows tied for the last place on the chart - CW dramedy "Reaper," CW drama "Gossip Girl," and NBC comedy "Chuck," keeping new ABC shows such as "Private Practice," "Dirty Sexy Money" and "Cashmere Mafia" off the list.
The buzz and the intent to watch lists are very similar with "Private Practice" appearing at the fifth place on the buzz chart and FOX's new reality show from Gordon Ramsay "Kitchen Nightmares" on the 4th place of the intent to watch list.
Many of these shows have been panned by the critics including ABC 's highly-positioned "Cavemen" which some industry analysts even expect to be the first fall show to get canceled.

I HATED Bionic Woman. it was horribly written and acted. The camera work was schoty and looked like a second rate b movie at best.
I love The Big Bang Theory. I saw the pilot and it is very, very funny. I look forward to watching this one on Mondays in the Fall.
The Bionic Woman reimagined...the pilot started off slow and there wasn't a hook until near the very end. By that time, they will probably lose half their viewers because it was so boring to watch.
Best pilot this season is Pushing Daisies hands down, followed by Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Chuck is hilarious too and worth watching.

Just guessing, but maybe the buzz is being entirely created by photos like the one this post -- breasts forward, crotch shot, and don't forget to airbrush in the nipples!
I'm clearly not their target audience.
