Seventies Super-Heroine Fun!
By sticking closely to DC Comics' World War II era Wonder Woman concept and casting Lynda Carter (whom the gods made to wear Wonder Woman's costume), ABC created a colorful, campy, fun-filled adventure in 1975. From the patriotic-disco of the theme song, to the comic book style captions that set each scene, the tone of this telefilm is right on target. While the stunts and effects may look underwhelming in 2001, it is of little matter. Carter projects the perfect blend of naievete and optimism. The rest of the cast is equally game and were hardly has-beens in 1975. Waggoner, Leachman, Stevens, etc, were the "name" talent and likely enlisted to draw adult viewers. Certainly no one knew who Lynda Carter was at the time. You're a wonder, "New Original Wonder Woman".

Lynda Carter at her best
Back in the 70s, Warner Bros. decided to bring the DC Comics super heroine Wonder Woman to the small screen in the hopes of establishing a competative show with the Universal television series the Bionic Woman. The first attempt failed miseribly. A Wonder Woman television movie starring Cathy Lee Crosby aired without any of the trademark airs of the comic. Not only was she blonde, wore a jump suit and didn't deflect bullets; but her other super human abilites didn't exist either. Other than being an Amazon Princess from Paradise Island, Wonder Woman was basically an athletic Charlie's Angel. Seeing the folly of their mistakes, Warner Bros. relaunched the series staring Miss World USA: Lynda Carter. Not only did Lynda come through with all the missing airs of the character, but she captured the essence of what it ment to be an icon. In this, the Pilot of the relaunched 'New Adventures of Wonder Woman', Princess Diana discovers a downed pilot (Steve Trevor) on the shores of her island home. When a contest is held to see which Amazon will be worthy enough to escort the stranger to America, Diana enters and wins the honor of becoming Wonder Woman. Words can't express how much I enjoyed this episode. It's filled with lots of action, humor and heart as only the eternally beautiful Lynda Carter can capture. I strongly urge you to make this tape a part of your collection as well.

WONDER WOMAN ON DVD?
It's really astonishing how an AMERICAN HERO has been ignored by the american movie makers. In England they have already issued Wonder Woman on DVD (I believe 3 episodes, so far).
I wish all of the episodes from the entire series would be available on DVD as soon as possible.
And perhaps a movie would be nice, possibly starring Linda Carter as Wonder Woman (she's still very pretty and young-looking); if not, she could, at least, succeed to her queen-mother's throne in the movie.
WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WONDER WOMAN ON DVD, just like we've had Spider Man, Charlie's Angels, The Hulk come-backs.
