[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 439924, member: 23"] Seems it was #6 overall during its first season, dropping to #14 in the second (which is still not bad). Episodes from the first two seasons were regularly in the British Top Twenty most-watched shows but, yes, the sole #1 occurred early on with the [I]Angel Of Mercy [/I]episode. Absolutely. I imagine [I]The Bionic Woman[/I] was justly considered the more mature of the two series in its appeal which possibly affected when it was broadcast. Certainly in Britain I have a feeling it went out a little later in the evening when it would reach a wider audience than WW's teatime slot. It's also helped that the character's iconography is more instantly recognisable and [I]WW[/I] has never really been away from one medium or another in the time since (mostly comics, but still), And since the reunions you mentioned had an emphasis on crossovers with other characters from their universe, perhaps this could have been the chance for crossovers with other DC superheroes. I have a feeling Burt Ward might have been equally dismissive of the [I]Batman[/I] series at this time, and I'm not sure Chris Reeve would have done it, but perhaps they could they could have settled for Helen Slater and get Adam West to do a cameo.
