DVD Reviews of Wonder Woman: The Complete Third Season
DVD Review: Best Season Of Them All
Summary: 3 Stars
This 1978-79 Season of Wonder Woman is my favorite season throughout it's whole 3-year run along with the fact that Wonder Woman's 3rd Season was more upgraded and more sophisticated than the first 2 seasons as well with a lot more action and Wonder Woman was a very popular TV show back in the late 1970's too, so I don't see how or why the ratings on this show were so low that CBS ended up having to cancel Wonder Woman after it's 1978-79 Season.
Another thing that baffles me about this season is why CBS decided to bring WONDER WOMAN back for 2 more episodes in August and September of 1979 as if WONDER WOMAN was going for a 4th Season and then cancelled all of the sudden in the early Fall of 1979 after "The Phantom Of The Rollercoaster" episode, which was similar to when CBS cancelled THE INCREDIBLE HULK all of the sudden 2 years later in the mid Fall of 1981 while the Hulk was in the middle of it's Fifth Season and cancelled on such short-notice after only 5 episodes during it's 1981-82 Season on CBS due to budget cuts & a change in management at CBS in the Autumn of 1981 after CBS had unofficially announced in July of 1981 that THE INCREDIBLE HULK was being cancelled which therefore made it similar to when CBS had cancelled WONDER WOMAN all of the sudden in mid September of 1979, because when CBS showed "The Man Who Could Not Die" episode of WONDER WOMAN on it's original air date for the first time on 8/28/79, I was under the impression that WONDER WOMAN was going for a Fourth Season and that "The Man Who Could Not Die" was the Season Premiere to WONDER WOMAN'S 4th Season, but it turned out that it wasn't, because this show had cancelled all of the sudden in the early Fall of 1979 after showing us "The Phantom Of The Rollercoaster Ride" episode for the very first time on 9/11/79 which was the last time WONDER WOMAN was shown on CBS.
Therefore CBS had probably already had WONDER WOMANs cancellation underway in the Summer of 1979 just like CBS did for THE INCREDIBLE HULK in the Summer of 1981 when nobody even knew THE INCREDIBLE HULK was about to be axed, except THE INCREDIBLE HULK actually had an abbreviated season during its 5th Season run despite its remaining strong ratings since creator(Ken Johnson)had to compromise with CBS by making the Hulks last season only half a season before THE INCREDIBLE HULKs cancellation in mid November of 1981, but THE INCREDIBLE HULK still outlasted WONDER WOMAN.
Something else about Wonder Woman's Third Season that baffles me is Wonder Woman explains to Skip(Clark Brandon)in "The Boy Who Knew Her Secret" episode that Diana's next assignment is L.A. where Diane Prince ends up moving to in the following episode "The Man Who Could Not Die" along with the fact that Diana's closest colleague Steve Trevor(Lyle Wagner) was temporarily cut out of the cast and crew, but then Steve returns in the following episode "The Phantom Of The Rollercoaster" and Diana and her agency(The IADC)are so-called back in Washington, DC as if she never relocated to Los Angeles or left D.C. in the first place and as if Steve Trevor never even departed from the show either, which was quite strange.
Overall; this season also takes me back to memory lane to the Fall of 1978 when WONDER WOMAN used to be followed by THE INCREDIBLE HULK when they were both part of CBS's Friday night line-up, starting with WONDER WOMAN at 8PM; THE INCREDIBLE HULK at 9PM; and then DALLAS at 10PM to top that off, which gave me 2 more things to look forward to every Friday as well.
I also remember when Wonder Woman was on Saturdays at one time during it's 1978-79 Season and then was eventually moved to Wednesdays and then eventually moved to Tuesdays after that.
Therefore, WONDER WOMAN was moved to a different night by CBS at least twice that season.
In addition to what made Wonder Woman's Third Season intriguing; I liked seeing interesting guest stars like
-Famous British veteran actor(Roddy McDowell) in the "Fine Art Of Crime" episode
-Singer Leif Garrett in the "My Teen Idol Is Missing" episode during singer Leif Garrett's sex symbol days
-Famous DJ celebrity(Wolfman Jack) in the "Disco Devil" episode
-Football celebrity(Dick Butkus) in the "Deadly Sting" episode
-Singer Rick Springfield in the "Amazon Hot Wax" episode before his co-starring days on GENERAL HOSPITAL and before his teen idol days when the song JESSE'S GIRL was a big hit on the radio
-Eric Braeden in the "Skate Board Whiz" episode before his co-starring days as Victor Newman on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS
-Tim O'Connor in "The Starships Are Coming" episode before his co-starring days as Dr. Huer on BUCK ROGERS
-Ted Schackelford and Joan Van-Ark in the "Time Bomb" episode before their co-starring days on KNOTTS LANDING and THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS
-Jared Martin in the "Phantom Of The Rollercoaster" episode before his co-starring days on DALLAS
-Charles Haid in "The Girl For The Gift For Disaster" episode before his co-starring days as Officer Andrew Renko on HILL STREET BLUES
-Del Monroe in "The Richest Man In The World" episode after his co-starring days on VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA
-Charles Brill in the "Going, Going, Gone" episode before his co-starring days as Capt. Lipschitz on SILK STALKING
-Ed Begley, Jr. in "The Fine Art Of Crime" episode before his co-starring days on ST. ELSEWHERE
-Peter Mark-Richman in the "Gaults Brain" episode before his co-starring days on SANTA BARBARA
-Craig Nelson in the "Deadly Sting" episode before his co-starring days as Hayden on COACH
-John Reilly in the "Skateboard Whiz" episode before his co-starring days on GENERAL HOSPITAL
-James Sloyan in "The Girl With The Gift For Disaster" episode before his co-starring days on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS
-Ken Tigar in the "Stolen Faces" episode before his co-starring days on DAYS OF OUR LIVES, DALLAS, & DYNASTY
Therefore, WONDER WOMANs 1978-1979 Season had the best guest stars throughout it's 3-year run as well among other things.
As a matter of fact, something else I've noticed about WONDER WOMAN, especially in it's 3rd Season was a lot of guest stars who've been on WONDER WOMAN had also been on THE INCREDIBLE HULK too.
For instance Jared Martin, John Reilly, Rick Springfield, Del Monroe, Albert Popwell, Jennifer Darling, Peter-Mark Richman, Paul Tuerpe, Charles Brill, Henry Darrow, Dick O'Neill, Denny Miller, Christine Belford, Frank Doubleday, Taffee O'Connell, John O'Connell, Michael Baseleon, Nicholas Coster, Bradford Dillman, David White, Frank Marth, Brenda Benet, Art Metrano, George Caldwell, etc. all guest starred on THE INCREDIBLE HULK after having a guest starring role on WONDER WOMAN, which was quite interesting, despite the fact that THE INCREDIBLE HULK lasted longer than WONDER WOMAN did, due to the fact that THE INCREDIBLE HULK had better ratings.
I also used to think it was so neat how Wonder Woman(Lynda Carter) would bend steel like clay, transform into swimsuit fashion, transform into motorbike fashion, etc., plus I had discovered later that the amusement park that they had used in real life for the "Phantom Of The Rollercoaster" episode was actually filmed at "Six Flags Magic Mountain" in Valencia, CA; since "Magic Mountain" is owned by Warner Bros., which is why they had to use "Magic Mountain" for an amusement park setting instead of "Universal Studios" in Hollywood, since WONDER WOMAN was a Warner Bros. incorporated show like THE DUKES OF HAZZARD, MATT HOUSTON, FRIENDS, SUDDENLY SUSAN, etc.
This season also takes me all the way back to memory lane when CBS's motto was "Turn Us On", since that was the motto on CBS from September of 1978 thru August of 1979.
