DVD Reviews of Wonder Woman: The Complete First Season
DVD Review: The Original Golden Age Wonder Woman Created by Dr. William Moulton Marsdon Marsdon Shown on First Season of This TV Series
Summary: 5 Stars
After doing a previous TV movie pilot based on DC Comics "Wonder Woman" that aired on ABC which stared Cathy Lee Crosby as Wonder Woman and had Ricardo Montalban as the villain. They chose to make "Wonder Woman" more like "The New Wonder Woman" in which "Wonder Woman" had given up her Amazon powers and had become more like a take off on Emma Peal of the 1960's TV series, "The Avengers."
In this pilot, Princess Diana gives up her Amazon heritage to go off to Man's World to fight injustice. She works for the U.S. Government. Steve Trevor is her supervisor.
ABC did not pick up this pilot for a regular TV series, so the producers went back to the drawing board to do a new TV pilot. This time, they decided to go back to the original concept of the Wonder Woman character and the original series from the 1940's which took place back in the days of World War II deciding to be true to the original comic book series to retile the series "The New Original Wonder Woman."
Beauty contest winner Linda Carter was selected to play the role of "Wonder Woman." Lyle Wagner was selected to play "Major Steve Trevor," "The American War Hero." Lyle Wagner was once selected as a back-up to Adam West for the role of Batman in the 1966 TV series. Executive Producer William Dosier wrote that he was set onAdam West, but TV networks lke to be given an option. Lyle Wagner later went on to appear as a regular for the first few seasons on the "The Carole Burnette Show."
This series proved successful, however, ABC did not run the series regularly under a regular day and time slot.
The TV movie pilot is great which also has Cloris Leachman as Hypolite, Queen of the Amazon's and Princess Diana's (Wonder Woman's) mother. It also has as villains in it, Artie Johnson from "Laugh-In" and Fanny Flag.
The character from the original comic book series, Etta Candy also appears in it with an added character, Steve Trevor's superior officer, General Blankenship.
The script for the TV movie pilot was written by Lorenzo Deple, Jr. who also wrote scripts for the 1966 Batman TV series.
Lorenzo Semple, Jr. had originally written to TV movie script as campy. However, fortunately, the producers decided that they did not really want to go the way of the 1960's "Batman" TV series and edited the script removing a number of jokes from it to Lorenzo Semple, Jr.'s dismay. The result was a TV movie done in a tongue-in-check manner like the early episodes of the 1960's series, "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." were done.
There are some episodes in the First season that guess stars actress Debra Winger as Drusilla, Wonder Woman's younger sister, "Wonder Girl."
For classic those who are also classic western fans, Roy Rogers also appears in once episode as an owner of a ranch that has a government contract to provide beef for the military. Steve Trevor and Diana Prince are sent down there to investigate Nazi espionage activities sabotaging the ranch owner's operations.
In the first series, Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor go up against a lot of Nazi spies and Nazi officers up to no good just like the superheroes of the 1940's used to do in the Golden Age of comics.
Actor John Saxton also appears in a two-part episode as a ruthless Nazi officer bent on finding the place where Wonder Woman came from in hopes of securing the special indestructible metal that Wonder Woman's bracelets are made of. Debra Winger appears in this two-part episode as "'Wonder Girl" who ends up being captured by John Saxton's character and his fellow Nazis who manage to extract from her the secret location of Paradise Island in which they now plan to launch an attack on to take it over for the glory of Nazi Germany.
If you like the original Wonder Woman from the 1940's and/or just like the Golden Age superhero stories written in the 1940's during World War II, then you'll enjoy the First Season of "The New Original Wonder Woman."
The other two seasons were picked up by and aired on CBS. Wonder Woman returns to Man's World in present day to work as a government agent under the supervision of the son of Steve Trevor, Steve Trevor, Jr. also played by Lyle Wagner. This was attempted to be done on a more serious note and basically was supposed to be CBS's answer to ABC's successful running TV series at the time, "The Six Million Dollar Man." Wonder Woman - The Complete Second Season and Wonder Woman - The Complete Third Season
I did not find these two seasons as good as the first season.
