I'm probably the only person who cares about this (for a show like Wonder Woman, at least), but just in case there's someone else out there interested in purchasing this series who cares about aspect ratios:

The original series was filmed and broadcast in the 1.33 aspect ratio, like all 20th century television series were. On a modern widescreen television, anything filmed in this ratio will display in the center of the screen with large black bars/columns at the right and left sides of the image (or you'll get a distorted image that's been stretched horizontally to fill the entire screen, if your TV is set that way).

The DVD sets of this series are presented in the proper 1.33 aspect ratio. But Amazon's streaming version actually crops off a large portion of both the top and bottom of the original image in order to fill the available space on a modern television. In effect, what you get is a "zoomed in" portion of the original image, resulting in the loss of something like 25% at the top and bottom (I haven't done the math because I suck at it, so this is a rough estimate).

I purchased the streaming versions of all three seasons earlier today, but when I started up the first episode of season one and realized right away that the image was butchered, I immediately went looking for a refund. I was able to get a refund for seasons two and three because I hadn't played any of those episodes yet, but I was unable to get a refund for season one because I had played one lousy minute of one episode. Which was the only way I could have even known there was a reason to seek a refund, since there's no mention on Amazon's store page that the streaming version is not in the original aspect ratio.

Once I realized I was stuck with season one, I jumped ahead to several other random episodes to see if they were all butchered in the same way. They are. So if you want to see all of the original image, stay away from Amazon's streaming version.

Being a fan of the gold and silver age of comics, I always appreciate a period piece. The entire Wonder Woman series starring Lynda Carter was not perfect, but at least we got to see, for the first time, a live-action Wonder Woman, treated with relatively no camp. I liked the innocence of the first season, set during World War II. It was, and remains, a reminder of a different world, where patriotism was clearly defined. I believe the essence of who Wonder Woman is, a champion for all, and faith that even enemies would some day become brothers and sisters, was well represented through Lynda Carter. Subsequent seasons, moved from ABC to CBS, were less interesting, with poor scripts and heavy handed dialogue, still portrayed a robust and worldly heroine. Lynda Carter set the standard against all others who might portray Wonder Woman would be measured. A difficult task indeed. The Wonder Woman tv series is like the joke about sex, chocolate and pizza. When it's good, it's really good, and when it's bad... it's still better than nothing.

First, I love the show itself. No it isn't what the modern films with what modern CG and Gal Gadot can bring, but I grew up on shows like these and enjoy them. Linda Carter will always be the true Wonder Woman to me. The commentary with Linda Carter on the first episode is great. Now, the bad. The packaging the discs came in is awful. It comes with 5 single-sided discs stacked on top of each other making it difficult to put each disc away in order without having to take all other discs out, then you also have each disc sitting right on top of the other instead in it's own protected section. I have Seasons 2 and 3 and those come in a case that folds with each double-sided disc in it's own section. What is odd is that the menu for this packaging suggests that it also should have double-sided discs. I suppose they changed the packaging and discs, but never changed the menu. It was very hard to put a 3 star rating on something that deserves a 4 or 5, but the packaging is all wrong. So be warned if you buy this.

Man, this is what makes you want to read comic books. Wonder Woman with Linda Carter set the standard by which super heros on film must try to excell. She was Wonder Woman; tall, beautiful, athletic and what a voice. You don't go changing a Icon; like putting pants on Wonder Woman, boots on invulnerable Superman an taking the victory wings off Captain America. Marvel Studios needs to do a Wonder Woman film using this tv show as a guide line because it used the comic book as a blueprint for the actress. And don't give her psychotic memories that interfere with her performance as a heroine like they did with Green Lantern ( The Man With No Fear). Great entertainment.

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.
