Wonder Woman may be a super-hit with audiences with its often hilarious blend of comic book plots and tongue-in-cheek lines, but that doesn't mean the show's star LYNDA CARTER-isn't playing it straight.

"Camp?" asks LYNDA. "Here's a character who wears a crown that's really a boomerang and magic bracelets that are supposed to stop bullets and red boots. She has a rope that makes people tell the truth and a belt that is supposed to make her undefeatable away from Paradise Island. That's not camp-that's ridiculous!

"Wonder Woman is a female fantasy character from the Forties -it's fun, but I don't think it's camp because I'm not making fun of her or her boss, Steve Trevor, or the war. How can anyone make fun of World War II? Before I started the show, I saw some newsreels of the war and Nazi atrocities. I think the show is trying to say this is war and it's bad and let's not do it again. It's dramatic action comedy-but it's NOT camp! People get a tickle, but not a guffaw!"
