Cover Summary: " 'THE NEW ORIGINAL WONDER WOMAN' Air date: November 7, 1975. While on a national security mission during World War II, Major Steve Trevor (Lyle Waggoner) is shot out of the sky by his enemy, a Nazi soldier. Wounded, Trevor lands on Paradise Island within the Devil's Triangle, an island populated by beautiful Amazon women. One of them, Princess Diana (Lynda Cater), nurses him back to health and falls in love with him. Diana manipulates her mother, the Queen (Cloris Leachman), so she can bring Trevor back to America and remain there as Wonder Woman to defend the Amazonian (read: American) way of life. 'The New Original Wonder Woman' was actually the third attempt to bring the World War II heroine to television audiences. The first was back in the late 1960s when Batman producer William Dozier -at the height of that camp series' phenomenal success - shot a four-minute presentation, which was designed as a situation comedy. The premise was that an ordinary-looking woman named Diana Prince, living with her overbearing mother, would balance shanigans at home with saving the world as Wonder Woman. Nobody went for the presentation. Next up was Cathy Lee Crosby as Wonder Woman, who was more spy than super heroine. Although its not getting picked up as a series by the networks was a disappointment for those involve, it certainly paved the way for the series that made a star out of Lynda Carter. Interestingly, executive producer Douglas S. Cramer was practically the only person who saw the fledgling actress' potential, and insisted on her being cast, much to carter's relief. 'To tell the truth,' she admitted in the book DC Comics - Sixty Years of the World's Favorite Comic Book Heroes, 'I couldn't pay my next month's rent when I got the part. I was thrilled to have a pilot of my own'."
