TV Show Feature: Wonder Woman
Monday, January 11, 2010 | Labels: Wonder Woman tv show | 0 comments | Wonder Woman is an American television series based on the DC Comics comic book character created by William Moulton Marston. The show, which aired for three seasons from 1975 to 1979, starred Lynda Carter as Princess Diana/Diana Prince (Wonder Woman) and Lyle Waggoner as Steve Trevor.
Following an abortive attempt in 1967 to create a series in the mold of the then-popular Batman television series and a pilot film in 1974 with Cathy Lee Crosby and Kaz Garas, Wonder Woman debuted in 1975 on ABC as a television movie set during Wonder Woman's early days of World War II. The success of the film led ABC to order first two more special episodes then 11 additional episodes (season one) which aired in 1976.
Despite its success on ABC, the network was hesitant about continuing the series. Wonder Woman's producers took the show to CBS, which did pick it up as a regular series, airing for another two more seasons.
