WOW,WHAT A WOMAN, YOU ARE A WONDER, WONDER WOMAN. This Lynda Carter at her best. She really makes the show. Her portrayl of this superheroine is great. She shows strength in many ways not just physically. If it were up to me I would have given her an Emmy just for how she portrayed the character. She was strong but not over bearing.Showed her understanding side by not causing harm to the evil crooks. She showed quiet strength. I give it 5 out of 5 stars. GREAT SHOW.

After hearing that NBC declined to screen the New Wonder Woman (2011), I decided to watch the old classic which remains the most popular version of Wonder Woman.

The season 1 (aired on ABC) is generally considered the best of the series and the only one featuring Wonder Woman during the WWII era true to the comic book.

This show is surprisingly entertaining. Yes, the storyline is cheesy (it is based on a comic book after all), much of the special effects look dated by today's standards, and the characters are mostly superficial. Yet the series shines with the charm of Lynda Carter in her prime (she was only 24-25) and the series never takes itself too seriously.

Lynda Carter, who grew up as an avid reader of Wonder Woman comic books, was the perfect Wonder Woman. Yes, she is beautiful, but she also has that right mixture of feminine beauty mixed with physical intimidation that was so right for Wonder Woman. I also noticed that she had a very feminine and beautiful smile to go along with beautiful feminine voice (but not too high pitched). Make no mistake, Wonder Woman is a marvelous feminine woman first and uses force only when it is necessary. A Terminator she is not.

Lynda Carter also gives Wonder Woman a strong physical presence. In the first episode, check the first fight scene against the bank robbers and how she prepares against men shooting guns at her.

No wonder producers had a very hard time finding an another actress to play Wonder Woman, very few can play her.
