NBC Really Wants to Piss Me Off

I was looking forward to The Bionic Woman for some reason. I was all excited for the debut at Comic-Con. But now this news from TV Guide. And if his ass is at the Comic-Con panel, I won't leave - but I'll turn around in my chair as protest!

Isaiah Washington is back in action — literally. First up, says USA Today, the actor will guest-star this fall on at least five episodes of NBC's Bionic Woman update, playing "an outsider with a mysterious agenda" that will either help or raise hell for Jaime Sommers. Beyond that, the disgraced Grey's Anatomy star has inked a deal to star in a potential action drama he pitched to the Peacock for the 2008-09 TV season.

Hailing Washington as "a brilliant actor," NBC Universal Media Studios president Katherine Pope believes viewers will welcome him back to the screen, in that "people watch characters... not personalities. He's put that [drama] behind him," Pope adds. "Let's give him a chance to do what he does."
