5.1/10. Possibly a good reason why there haven't been too many good superhero shows.Lynda Carter was the epitome of blandness mixed with T&A. She seemed more like somebody trying play Wonder Woman than convince people she was Wonder Woman. Adam West, Lou Ferrigno, they definitely convinced you they were Bat Man and The Hulk due to their charisma.Lynda lacked that, she had potential but never really tried hard.I also heard of her being petty, getting Debra Winger fired from her role as Drusilla/Wonder Girl, her sister. She apparently didn't want competition, felt threatened.I thought this could've been great, a female dynamic duo equivalent of Bat Man and Robin in their 60's TV show. This show really took what Bat Man had done and abandoned things like good characters, logic, and good stories. When you lack all that you're not gonna last too long. Bat Man at least had some decent villains even if their stories were hokey. Wonder Woman was sold more on the lead's looks than anything. Since her 15 minutes of fame ended in '79, she's hung around like a pest.Carter has tried anything including that disastrous TV show "Partners In Danger" with tv's first bimbo of a big cast Loni Anderson.When she guest starred on Super Girl I found it appropriate. Here you had a has been working with another soon to be has been on a show that went from harmless cheesy fun to political B.S. All that was lacking was a shared monologue about how awful men can be. Lyle Waggoner was a true gentleman who must have been a saint for putting up with her. If you looked beyond the obvious: good looking woman running around in tight spandex there's nothing there. Wonder Woman suffered from the same things Charlie's Angels suffered from. A lack of good plots, focusing too much on lead's T&A, and repeating the same one note plot they could've copied one script on a copier and not bother writing another one. It amazes me how this can still be highly regarded when there's nothing much there.I confess to having the whole show on dvd but only for watching Lynda running in spandex no other reason otherwise. The taste some people have in TV can utterly amaze and puzzle me at the same time.
The Bermuda Triangle Crisis - S2-E4
Revealing mistake: When Wonder Woman drops a mine into the water, she's supposed to be dropping it into the ocean. However, you can see a drain plug of some sort in the background and the "ocean" is obviously a pool, or similar.
Trivia: Jeannie Epper, Lynda Carter's stunt double's son, was bullied in school by his peers who didn't believe his mother played Wonder Woman. Lynda Carter heard this and invited them to the set.
Question: Does she go back to Paradise Island after WW2 in Season 1?

Answer: Yes, on the first episode of season 2, she is shown on the island, when another plane crash lands, she says, "They sound different from WW II". Later in the same episode a woman gathers background information on Wonder Woman. The woman says, "From 1942 to 1945, she helped the Allies win the war."
