TV movie entitled Wonder Woman starring blond actress Cathy Lee Crosby, who neither resembled the super- hero character nor exhibited any apparent super- human powers. John D. F. Black wrote and produced the 1. TV movie.) In this second movie, set during World War II and produced by Douglas S. Cramer and Wilford Lloyd "W. L." Baumes, who were working from a script by Stanley Ralph Ross, Carter as Wonder Woman matched the original comic book character. Its success led the ABC television network to order two more one- hour episodes which aired in April 1. That success led ABC to order an additional 1.
The episodes ran on Wednesday nights between October 1. February 1. 97. 7.
Here are all the intros from the popular 1970s TV series of Wonder Woman. Dedicated to Lynda Carter who sparked our screens as DC Comic's popular heroine. The first attempt to translate Wonder Woman to the small screen occurred in 1967. The success of the Batman television series led Batman producer William Dozier to.
Wonder Woman achieved solid ratings on ABC during its first season, but the network was reluctant to renew the series for another season. Wonder Woman was a period piece, and as such, it was more expensive to produce than a series set in the present day. Also, ABC thought that the 1. Nazis. ABC did not renew the series, so Jerry Lieder, then- president of Warner Bros.
Television, went to CBS with the notion of shifting the series to the present- day 1. Unlike 2. 0th Century Fox Television's Batman, the series was produced without having a theatrical feature film in the middle of its production. In addition, none of the villains had recurring appearances. CBS agreed and picked up the show in 1.
Early attempts[edit]Who's Afraid of Diana Prince?[edit]The first attempt to translate Wonder Woman to the small screen occurred in 1. The success of the Batman television series led Batman producer William Dozier to commission a pilot script by Stan Hart and Larry Siegel. Batman writer Stanley Ralph Ross was then asked to perform a re- write, after Hart and Siegel's script was deemed unsuitable.[1][2] A portion of the pilot, under five minutes in length, was filmed under the title Who's Afraid of Diana Prince?[3] The piece starred Ellie Wood Walker (Robert Walker Jr.'s wife) as Diana Prince, Linda Harrison as Diana's "Wonder Woman" alter ego and Maudie Prickett as Diana's mother. This pilot episode was never aired on television, and the project was not taken any farther. The pilot has been circulated on the Internet, however, and is of interest to Planet of the Apes fans for the early appearance of Linda Harrison, who would later go on to play Nova in the first two films of that series. Wonder Woman (1. 97.
Cathy Lee Crosby in the first Wonder Woman film. Wonder Woman's first broadcast appearance in live- action television was a television movie made in 1. ABC. Written by John D.
F. Black, the TV movie resembles the Wonder Woman of the "I Ching" period. Wonder Woman (Cathy Lee Crosby) did not wear the comic- book uniform, demonstrated no apparent super- human powers, had a "secret identity" of Diana Prince that was not all that secret, and she was also depicted as blonde (differing from the black hair established in the comic books). This 1. 97. 4 film follows Wonder Woman, assistant to government agent Steve Trevor (Kaz Garas) as she pursues a villain named Abner Smith (Ricardo Montalban) who has stolen a set of code books containing classified information about U. S. government field agents.
Along the way, she has to outwit Smith's chief assistants: the handsome yet dangerous George (Andrew Prine) and a rogue Amazon, Angela (Anitra Ford), who Smith has taken on as a bodyguard; a brief duel between Wonder Woman and Angela is the film's only significant action sequence, which occurs during the final third of the story.[4]The pilot aired originally on March 1. August 2. 1 of that year.[6] Ratings were described as "respectable but not exactly wondrous."[7] ABC did not pick up the pilot, although Crosby would later claim she was offered the series that was eventually given to Lynda Carter.[8] An ABC spokesperson would later acknowledge that the decision to update the character was a mistake.[7]Warner Brothers released this pilot into syndication as a stand- alone 9. TV stations throughout the 1. After the subsequent series with Lynda Carter moved from its 1. Cathy Lee Crosby pilot were incorporated into the show: Diana Prince went to work for a government agency, with Steve Trevor as her supervisor; Diana remained in her civilian identity for the majority of the tale, only transforming into Wonder Woman during the climactic moments of the episode (or on those occasions that truly called for the use of super- powers). On December 1. 1, 2. Warner Brothers made the Cathy Lee Crosby pilot available as a Video On Demand purchase through their online store.
This version of Wonder Woman would later appear in Infinite Crisis #6 as the Wonder Woman of Earth 4. Wonder Woman (1. 97. Though not successful at the first attempt, ABC still felt a Wonder Woman series had potential, and within a year another pilot was in production. Keen to make a distinction from the last pilot, producers gave the pilot the rather paradoxical title The New Original Wonder Woman. Scripting duties were given to Stanley Ralph Ross, who was instructed to be more faithful to the comic book and to create a subtle "high comedy." Ross set the pilot in World War II, the era in which the original comic book began.
After an intensive talent search, Lynda Carter, who had had a handful of minor acting roles and had been the 1. Miss World USA and a Bob Hope USO cast member, was chosen for the lead role. For the role of Steve Trevor, the producers chose Lyle Waggoner, despite his dark brown, almost- black, hair not matching the comic's blond Trevor, who at the time was better known as a comedic actor after several years co- starring in The Carol Burnett Show. He was also known to Ross as having been one of the leading candidates to play Batman a decade earlier, but instead Adam West was signed. Waggoner was also considered a pin- up hunk, having done a semi- nude pictorial in the first issue of Playgirl.[9]Although the pilot followed the original comic book closely, in particular the aspect of Wonder Woman joining the military under the name Diana Prince, a number of elements were dropped. It mainly omitted Diana's origin, including her birth on Paradise Island. The comic book Diana obtains the credentials of a look- alike nurse.
Although the pilot shows Diana briefly as a nurse at one point, Diana takes on the identity of a Navy Yeoman. Petty Officer First Class.
As it was set during World War II, many of the episodes involved Nazis and war events. Carter frequently complained about this unfortunate fact, explaining: "I yelled when the scripts were bad. Week after week, nothing.. So I made noise. Men don't like dealing with women who make demands."One change, which was later to become synonymous with the show, was the transformation of Diana Prince into Wonder Woman by spinning. During the filming of the pilot, producers were trying to figure out a way to show how Diana Prince became Wonder Woman, when Carter suggested that she do a spin.[1.
The spinning transformation was later incorporated into the comics and into animated appearances such as Justice League Unlimited. Prior to the series in which Carter starred, the transformation was depicted in the comics by way of Diana spinning her magic lasso around her body, with the lasso changing her clothes, or by simply changing at super- human speed.)During season one, Wonder Woman has the ability to impersonate anyone's voice, which came in handy over the telephone. She did not use this ability during seasons two and three. Unlike the earlier pilot, the comic- book origins of the character were emphasized by the retention of the character's traditional uniform (the design of which was interpreted and executed by Donald Lee Feld, credited as "Donfeld") with the original setting and through the use of comic book elements. The series's title sequence was animated in the form of a series of comic book panels featuring Wonder Woman performing a variety of heroic feats. Within the show, location and exposition were handled through comic book- style text panels. Transitions between scenes and commercial breaks were marked by animated starburst sequences.
Synopsis[edit]In early 1. Second World War, American pilot Major.
Steve Trevor (Lyle Waggoner) bails out during an air battle over the Bermuda Triangle, location of Paradise Island.[1. The island is home to the Amazons: beautiful, ageless women with great strength, agility, and intelligence. Amazon princess Diana (Lynda Carter) rescues the handsome Trevor and helps nurse him back to health. Her mother, the Amazon queen (Cloris Leachman; succeeded by Carolyn Jones and Beatrice Straight in later episodes), decrees that Olympic- style games shall be held to select one Amazon to return Trevor back to America. But she forbids her own daughter Diana, the princess, to participate.
Diana states that since she is not allowed to participate, she does not want to be present for the games and will take a retreat to the other side of the island. The games are held with participants wearing masks and numbers, shown as Roman numerals in triangles on white sleeveless short tunic- dresses.
Among the contestants is a blonde Amazon. During the events, the blonde Amazon shows exceptional skills and she ties for first with another Amazon. To break the deadlock, the "bullets and bracelets" event is decided as the tiebreaker, wherein each of the women takes turns shooting at the other; the one being shot at must deflect the bullets with her bulletproof bracelets. The blond woman wins the event, superficially injuring her opponent's arm.
