Sci Fi is pulling the plug on its
Bionic Woman repeats and USA is cutting short its run of
Life encores after this week, according to the thefutoncritic.com.... But the news isn't all fatalistic for
Life. NBC has scheduled the first of a two-part arc for Dec. 3 at 10 pm/ET, following
Heroes' fall finale. (And if that doesn't breathe some life into the ratings.... ) Part 2 will air in the show's regular time slot, on Dec. 5.... Forget
Deal or No Deal, this is more like "Making a Killing or Overkill." The briefcase-picking game show will "treat" us to two-hour episodes on Dec. 10 and 12, and just for good measure, NBC is squeezing in yet another hour-long installment on the 11th. -
