"The Bionic Woman" switched from ABC to NBC for its third season.
Fred Silverman didn't like the demographics.  (And then the
rebooted version in 2007 also aired on NBC.)

We don't talk about that reboot in mixed company, the
same way we don't bring up the second version
of "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" [a] and don't even
think about the remake of "The Prisoner".

[a] There were _three_ of them. The first, from 1976
or so, is one of the bestest and most ultimate NYC
period pieces.

The second was filmed in Canada and was most likely
the result of someone burning off some of that
Canadian subsidy (tax and non tax tax) funding
handed out to their local tv/movie production
elitists.

The third got a bit of traction as it starred
Denzel Washington and one of the High Profile
Scientologist Actors. No, not Tom Cruize,
the other one.
