ABOUT THE SHOW:
The Wonder Woman series had, without a doubt, the most erratic run on two networks of any TV program. After a disastrous attempt at producing a version starring tennis pro Cathy Lee Crosby, ABC-TV tried again a year later with 1973's Miss World-USA, Lynda Carter, in the lead. Carter's acting abilities and the film's setting back in World War II brought a comic book charm the 1974 pilot had lacked. Despite both critical and popular success, ABC-TV only ordered two one-hour episodes and later 11 more to fill in for the Bionic Woman (Lindsay Wagner had been injured in a car accident and production on her series was shut down). ABC-TV simply used Wonder Woman to fill in empty time slots and although the ratings were good, they failed to give the series any real commitment.
     Tired of ABC-TV's ambivalence, Warner Brothers Television offered the series to CBS-TV who picked it up for their 1977-78 season. As a result of the move, CBS-TV had the series updated from WW II to 1977 and replaced the camp elements with light-hearted adventure. The series enjoyed two seasons on CBS-TV before the network had it "temporarily shelved," where it has remained ever since.
     Warner Brothers Television has already syndicated the Cathy Lee Crosby pilot in a TV-movie package and plans to release the 65-plus Lynda Carter episodes to syndication, soon.
