 The ABC series
was far behind, and a third year was already on the run, the second
one on CBS.
The first year on the network showed a lot of changes. Most notably
the costume and a more "serious" portrayal of Wonder Woman,
something that would be more notorious as episodes went by,
specially after some new changes by the middle of the season applied. |
|
|
After Normann
Burton's
departure, we've seen oftenly Saundra
Sharp playing Eve,
sort of a Steve's assistant at the IADC.
But she disappeared by the end of the season. The third season
maintained most of these changes with some brief
"modifications". |
|
|
|
|
|
First of all
Diana
Prince's look. We
rarely see her wearing glasses except for occasional sunglasses. By
the other side we see her many times with her hair loose and there was nothing to conceal her alter-ego persona of
Wonder
Woman. By the
other side, there were not so many occasions where Steve could meet Wonder
Woman. |
|
|
The Amazon
Princess portrayal
was meaner than ever, and, understand this term under the conception of
the time. We should agree it's not the same a "meaner
approach" of the seventies than the one of the nineties. Anyway, it
was not the same portrayal of the ABC
years, not even
that of the first episodes of the second season. |
|
|
Wonder
Woman's hair was
also different, it was just plain and loose in comparison with the
second season where it seemed she was wearing a wig. There was no
further mention of Paradise Island, the Queen or the Invisible Plane.
Occasionally we see her in her diving suit, but this
time used for different situations like riding a bike or
skateboarding. Her foes this time were somehow different including
aliens, time travelers, ecologists, black-mailers and saboteurs. |
|
|
In
the last episode of the season (in production order),
"The
Man Who COULD NOT DIE", we see Diana
Prince bidding farewell to Steve
Trevor, moving to
the L.A. office of the IADC
and working under
the orders of a new boss named Dale Hawthorn
(JOHN DURREN). |
|
|
This season had 24
episodes instead
of the regular 22, and undoubtedly this episode marked a new beginning.
Maybe it was a potential new beginning for a third season on the CBS.
Unfortunately it never saw the light and Wonder Woman went back to
Paradise Island for retirement. |
|
|
Two decades later she's once again
ready to leave the one-dimensional vignettes of the comics to see the
light in a bigger budget project. Will the new Wonder Woman be able to
make us forget the sempiternal image of Lynda
Carter's
portrayal? |
