Despite the online nay-sayers, Bionic Woman has scored the top position of new shows so far. Bionic Woman even beat out the Grey’s anatomy spin-off, Private Practice.

After a slew of much-hyped new shows premiered to merely average ratings, NBC’s heavily marketed “Bionic Woman” conquered a tough field of new and returning shows to win the Wednesday night battleground.

“Bionic” earned a 5.5 rating among adults 18 to 49, topping the premiere of ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” spinoff “Private Practice,” which earned a 5.1. “Bionic” is the highest-rated freshman premiere so far this fall, with “Private” coming in second. “Bionic” won its hour despite “Private” having a stronger lead-in and ranks as the highest-rated Wednesday-night NBC series premiere since “The West Wing” in 1999.

“Bionic” fueled the debut of NBC’s cop drama “Life,” which earned a strong 4.1 rating to win the 10 p.m. hour and rank as the third best-rated new show. “Life” topped the season premiere of “CSI: NY” (3.7, down 26 percent from last year) and the debut of ABC’s “Dirty Sexy Money” (3.6, down 22 percent from the premiere of “The Nine” last year, which benefited from a stronger “Lost” lead-in).
