People say the 50's were the Golden Age of TV.Since I wasn't around then too me it was the late 70's early 80's.You knew the stars you knew everybody.Now id this show was to be done it would be like who cares? We don't know most of the people on TV nowadays anyways

 

Linda Carter was on Two and a half men a few weeks back and she had a lesbian three way insinuated at the end of the show as she came out of Alan's Nieces room.Yep she played herself on that episode and she is still hot

Still to this day I don't know why they shifted from WW2 in the first season to 1977 in the second

CBS felt the show would be a better fit with their own programming if they went a little less "campy" than the 5th Columnists, Nazi Aces, saboteurs, evil baroness', and feminist pontifications of the ABC version. I personally thought it was a nice move as such '70's main-stays as the tweed mafia, James Bondian super spies and alien invasions gave a lot more variety to Wonder Woman's adventures than just fighting Nazi's.

 

It also helped side-step the big question: If Diana had an invisible plane that could carry her deep into enemy territory (and frequently did), why not just take an early coffee-break shuttle over to Berlin and kick the $#!+ out of Hitler so they could call off the war and go home?

 

How was this explained in season 2? Steve and her never aged

They moved the show to modern times for the second season because it cost less to produce.

 

Steve is the originals son but Diana is over a thousand years old...

50s TV got the ball rollin, but was more or less radio shows with moving pictures. I'd argue that the real golden age was the 60s thru early 70s...so many new ideas. After that everything is derivative or simply playing with or deconstructing conventions established the era before, usually with some pretention or icky message. There are shining exceptions, but the motherload of gold still came from the 60s

 

I wasn't around then, but was raised on local uhf programming... and better for it. If only reruns of say Beverly hillbillies were as plentiful as reruns of 2 1/2 men for the young minds of today... sigh...

A classic episode tonight boys and girls!

 

Not only were we treated to the truly terrible musical stylings of Dick Van Patten and a blink and you miss it appearance by the future ex-Mrs. Michael Crichton, Anne-Marie Martin (in her Eddie Benton days), but we also saw the first use of Wonder Woman's classic ballet inspired spin-transformation.

 

Tune in next week for Debra Wingers first appearance as a strangely butch TV version of Wonder Girl.

 

 

DVP DVP DVP! No one can play King Roland Like DVP.....would I Lie?? great celebrity appearance, kinda miss those Fantasy Island/Love Boat Celebrity Moments.....

For whatever reason they skipped the two-parter (originally a TV movie) that explained the transition to modern times.

 

Short version: 30+ years after Diana returns to Paradise Island, she meets I.A.D.C. Agent Steve Trevor Jr. (identical son of Steve Trevor from the ABC season). Realizing mankind is still in danger Diana uses a combination of forged documents, Amazon brainwashing, and some late-seventies computer hacking to establish a new identity as an I.A.D.C. agent in order to protect man (and stay close to Steve).

 

Sure it may sound a little contrived, but it makes about as much since as Oliver's origin from Arrow.

 

Plus it gave Wonder Woman a chance to fight threats slightly more befitting of a super heroine including: cold-war era spies, domestic terrorists, aliens, mutated scientists, telekinetic samurai, and Martin Mull as a mind control-flute playing 70's pop muscician (who needs Deathstroke when you have an evil Kenny G.?).

 

Thank you for that info I never knew this..Hopefully ME TV will air it on their friday night movies.They sometimes show the two parters as movies .Last week the the Menegerie from Star Trek as a movie.
