I don't even know if there are any strong female role models out there for girls in this day and age. Judge Judy maybe? Lynda Carter was so down to earth and beautiful not to mention quietly ridding the world of evil doers...always wanted to be Wonder Woman! Yup, she got me through ages 10 and 11. I always looked up to Lynda Carter and Wonder Woman! I read something atrocious like she didn't get along with Lyle Wagoner. I can't even imagine that. She always seemed to carry herself with such grace, and Lyle Wagoner always seemed like a cool guy as well. So glad they are rerunning Wonder Woman! It may seem dated but the show holds up well and I wonder what the screen adaptation will be like. No one could replace Lynda Carter...those days are over and done.

The New Original Wonder Woman Now we're talking! Weird that after setting the Crosby film in the present day they then decide to go back to her origins in WW2. Here we have Henry Gibson as the allied agent undercover as a Nazi who will later recur as a villain in later seasons. The plot of the German's attempting to bomb Washington seems ludicrous but was actually something they planned, pretty late in the war. The Norden bomb sight was also a real WW2 artifact. It seems a bit off that Steve Trevor bails out almost directly into the arms of one of the world's most beautiful women whilst the Nazi pilot is presumably eaten by sharks? (This is of course the era of JAWS-mania so sharks were pretty much obligatory)The air-plane battle is pretty ludicrous and lame, especially when it keeps flitting from black and white to colour. Amazingly in this ep whilst WW saves the pilot of the German bomber she appears to kill the entire crew of the U-boat. The commentary with Lynda is great, especially her appreciation of the effortlessly handsome Lyle Waggoner (Steve Trevor knocked out for the first time! Also under truth serum twice), even though they apparently didn't get on. Also love the scene where Cloris Leachmen Amazon Queen get's quite flustered at the idea of a man on Paradise Island, biting her hand in the time honoured fashion at the thought (maybe the Amazon's aren't quite so misandrist as we presumed?)We have the proper costume for the first time although it has the gold cones over the breasts which doesn't really work for me. That said Lynda looks the business, she's stunning and looks as though she's just walked out of the pages of the comic. No offence to the late Christopher Reeve but no one ever embodied a superhero so effortlessly perfectly as Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman. Nice scene where we think she's going to wear the mini-skirt (as in the 40s comics) only to peel it off and reveal the hot pants. As the commentary from the producer states, a star was born in that moment, her look was so amazing that it entered the public consciousness, much like Dollhouse got a second season purely on the grounds of the Eliza Dushku-as-a-whip-cracking-black leather clad-dominatrix scene The Amazon Olympics are cool (I was totally fooled by Lynda's blonde wig) although it strikes you as reminiscent of something Hugh Hefner would stage at the Playboy Mansion. 'Bullet's and bracelets' strikes me as rather a weird game and surely not one dating back to ancient Greece. Equally Paradise Isaland seems to lack the industry to produce her invisible plane. We see WW perfectly imitate a voice Terminator style, which she will do several times over the series (why doesn't she just make the captured spy do it with her lasso?).We have WW actually working to raise some money but again the last time she ever has to do so. The bullets-and-bracelets show is daft although the sight of the Nazi-agent little old lady with the Tommy gun is worth it. Also as Lynda points out, when Red Buttons is shooting at her in the later scenes his expression is quite hilarious, he knows this is a futile gesture. One question, where does she land her invisible plane? I'd love to see an ep where someone walks into it and bumps their head!5/10, not that fond of the WW2 eps

At least CBS let this one stay on the air for a bit, unlike the other cool and fun comic book show "The Amazing Spider-man" that they gave the ax to after one season because they did not want to be known as the superhero station. This show had one really good thing going for it and that was a perfectly cast Linda Carter in the title role. Nothing more fun to watch for a boy than to see her running in slow motion let me tell you. It also helps that it usually had a relatively good story line to go along with it. Though one thing I can not remember is how the show progressed. I know some of the episodes were like supposed to be set during World War II or something and others were supposed to take place in the 70's, I kind of think the World War II episodes came later. The show like many superhero shows during its day or any day for that matter did not really have any super villains for the most part, but I do remember a sort of alien movie and some really strong alien giving Wonder Woman a tough go of it. All in all a good superhero show that had a relatively good run during the 1970's.

I have, at the time of this comment, two out of three seasons of WONDER WOMAN. I wasn't bale to see the show on its original run(since I was born at the same time it came on the air), but I had the opportunity to see it in both syndication and on the cable channel F/X(when it was at least worth watching then), so I had the opportunity to be drawn to one of the most beautiful and marvelously talented women to ever grace the small screen.Many people say that it was campy(which was the point in the first season) and many people thought it should have stayed in the WWII setting;I ,however, think it was perfect. I have heard that there is going to be a movie produced in about two years of WONDER WOMAN. Though it is a good idea, I think it is going to be very difficult to succeed such an icon of comic art.....not to mention a very gorgeous woman, even now.I hope that if they do make this movie and find a suitable successor to Mrs. Carter, that they have at least the good since to have Lynda as the queen of Themscyria(Paradise Island) and Diana's mother. That would be the best passing of the torch to have the original Wonder Woman and the new one in the same movie.Well, that's all I have to say about this, I hope that those who read this have the opportunity to see this show. They'll love it....and be in good company.
