She's A Wonder...That Lynda Carter... As Wonder Woman... Wotta Woman !! Lynda Carter first entered a local beauty contest and achieved her first national fame by winning the Miss World USA in 1972 representing her state of Arizona. After taking acting classes in New York acting schools, she started making appearances on TV shows such as Starsky and Hutch, and Cos, plus B-movies including Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw. However, her acting career did not really take off until she landed her starring role in the Wonder Woman television series. Her performance endeared her to fans and the series lasted for three seasons. The first season on ABC was set in the 1940's during WWII and was a bit campy. The next two seasons on CBS were set in the then current period. The series was nudged away from 'sophisticated humour' towards a more conventional action/adventure style when it was brought into the present period. I personally enjoyed the WWII action more in plots, but the show was not picked up timely by ABC, so CBS had the time period change as part of deal when the show went over to CBS. The TV show was based on the original charcter created by William Moulton Marston for National Publications (DC Comics) back in 1942. Lynda was the best thing going for the 1975 - 1979 TV Show. Besides her beauty she had a great personality and physically was believable as a true Wonder Woman. An earlier attempt with Cathy Lee Crosby just wasn't believable for me. For true fans of Wonder Woman, this DVD set can't be beat !!! MichaelRead full review
Why did I buy this dvd series? Well, as a kid I loved this show. It is a little "hokey", but my kids love it as much as I did, you kind of get addicted to it, you know, "Like what happens next." I have bought alot of the old shows right here on e-bay, Hogan's Hereo's, Gilligan's Island, The Addams Family, and The Munsters, just to name a few. I really feel as a mom, that you can't be too careful with what your kids watch on tv or video. I guess the best reason I bought this and others is that it is "Clean TV" no sex or swearing or graphic violence, I feel safe letting them watch this. THANKS E-BAY, for having sellers that offer this kind of entertainment at prices that a mom on a budget can afford. I guess the bottom line of why I bought this and others is, it is "Classic TV", and it is just down right good clean fun, we make it a family night when we watch it. Happy shopping to all of you.Read full review
It's amazing. I have always been a fan of Wonder Woman. I also love the packaging of the dvd's. She has always been a hero for peace and not war. Her legacy lives on in our hearts and mind even though she was a comic hero. Would be a miracle if she were the real deal. Love you Wonder Woman(Lynda Carter).
I had been waiting for this series to come out on DVD, as it brought back many childhood memories. well worth the purchase, and the extras are terrific! There are so many guest appearances from great actors, and the commentaries from the cast and producer are well worth it. For a great trip down memory lane and outstanding guest stars I would highly recommend this purchase.
i am glad i bought these series, it brought back memories watching wonder woman with my family. ms carter is still by far the exact embodiment of wonder woman. though to others, the series may seem cheesy, it is by far a more superior programming with its positive moral overtures than the profanity, ultra violence, and sex laden shows nowadays. these type of shows are becoming a rarity, its good to have it added to my collection. the dvds and the packaging are awesome.
