"The executive producer of Bionic Woman has dismissed criticism that the show disrespected the gay community by casting Isaiah Washington. Washington was axed from ABC medical drama Grey&amp;#039;s Anatomy after allegedly using a gay slur against his former co-star T.R. Knight at the Golden Globe Awards in January. However, he recently sealed his TV comeback by signing to appear in five episodes of NBC&amp;#039;s Bionic Woman. Jason Smilovic, the show&amp;#039;s executive producer, defended the casting, saying: &amp;quot;We believe in second chances. We embrace the gay community and we&amp;#039;re in no way making any judgments or statements about what was said or done (on Grey&amp;#039;s).&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
