Casting seems like its easy to most people, but there are many examples of what happens when someone is cast who isn't right for the role. Wonder Woman definitely did a good job in that regard.
@@StamFine They actually had a tough time casting Wonder Woman, and Douglas Cramer really had to go to bat to convince the producers to cast her. He actually threatened to walk if they wouldn't use her.
@@Bushidobull She proved a lot of people wrong. I remember when they announced who was going to play WW on film, people were like going who's she? From Israel? Oh, no, but she did great.
Lynda Carter. Female perfection to this day. If I ever saw her in person, I'm pretty sure I'd have to look away, like looking at the sun. Much the way women are with Henry Cavill.
I met Carter in 2018, she is very beautiful but not very tall, which is why she wore heels on the show. she is sitill verry beautiful, but not very smart. She is very liberal and her daughter looks very much like her.
I like to believe that most men and teenage boys were not discouraged at all by the cheesy stories as long as they could enjoy the awesomeness of Lynda Carter.
That's a fair point. That said, a lot of the real classics of the 70s-80s are as cheesy as WW- Knight Rider, Six Million Dollar Man, Buck Rogers, The A-Team. Of them, only Buck Rogers wears tights. And maybe Templeton Peck.
It was always a live action cartoon. A comic book come to life as the animated openings showed. Stills animated. Animation came to life. It looked like it was drawn. The movie and two specials of the first season were lifted straight from the comics with slight changes tied to real World War II history. The episodes of the two series continued that to some extent with some based on movies. A little comic book mixed with something real. It was never intended to be more than a fun live action comic book with a little "if you weren't careful you might just learn something". It was also designed to complement reading the comic books not replace it.
@@StamFine "Wonder Woman", on the other hand, was a family show from which everyone in the living room could find something to enjoy. Many of the action shows of the period and for some time afterwards was very much geared towards boys and younger men. Surely Wonder Woman's cross-appeal led to the show's endurance in a way that the other shows you mentioned haven't lingered in the public's memories.
This was a wonderful video. I was so excited to see Wonder Woman in the original broadcast. Like you, I much preferred the 1940s setting. The contemporary version was kind of bewildering and silly. I only watched because I thought Lynda Carter was fabulous.
Faithful to the source material, perfectly cast, high production values, played (mostly) straight, Wonder Woman provides the shoulders on which today's billion-dollar superhero movies stand on.
yeah, it was a pity that fewer comic book shows took off in US prime time in the 70's. The only other long running (marvel or DC) series was The Incredible Hulk.
I enjoyed the show much more when it was moved to a contemporary setting and the sci-fi elements became over-the-top. Linda Carter was so perfect for that role especially in terms of her physical appearance. Overall a very fond childhood memory.
Lydia Carter was a great Wonder Woman. I grew up watching Wonder Woman as a kid in the kid in the 70’s. I was born in 1966. Wonder Woman was one my favorite superhero.
Born in 67. Grew up with Bat Man 66 in reruns, watched the premier of The Incredible Hulk and Wonder Woman and then both series. Nicholas Hammond as Spider-Man! ! What a great time to be alive as a kid in the 70s!! Even better, living now, with the Marvel Universe and some of the DC Universe hitting it home!!
Omg, this show brought me into puberty. Great theme song. I remember Linda Carter from an episode of Starsky and Hutch. I remember when Debra Winger came on as Wonder Girl.
Yeah there were a few stunts she did actually do herself, surprisingly enough! I remember an interview I think it was of her talking about the things she did that probably wouldn't have been allowed today, particularly climbing and dangling off of very high things. It happened a few times of them dangling actual Lynda off of high places, not her double.
@@brinmoody she wasn't really that high. Behind the scenes photos showed she wasn't higher than 20 feet with bags under her along with harness to keep her from falling
@@1969chgoodwin exactly, they judged it safe-enough at the time but nowadays, with the various broken ankles, legs, knees etc from things like that they don't even want to allow that. Even though every actor wants to do their own stunts, the studio doesn't like paying for convalescence time (nor the odd lawsuit).
@@brinmoody 20 feet with air bags under her isn't high. She had stunt double for almost every stunt including simple ones like flips. It was never her doing anything dangerous, her stunt double did almost every stunt. Don't believe all crap she says it's bullshit
This is an excellent, concise summation of the Wonder Woman tv series. Your insights as to what worked & what didn't are beautifully illustrated by well edited clips, not to mention a dry sense of humor! And just when I thought "well, the sparkling teeth gag is going to get old fast", it just kept on building & I just kept laughing. So thank you for this amusing retrospective, which was told with both an honest, critical perspective & a clear appreciation of the show & its stars.
Lynda Carter was Most definitely The A+ aka Diana Prince/Wonder Woman! Loved Cathy Lee Crosby as well as her Beauty and Talent But the Original Wonder Woman Movie Could never take off for Her! Carter fit the part to a T! Season One Will always stand as my favorite 1940s WW2 Comic Book Era! Loved The Military Staff as Well as Lyle Waggoner aka Major Steve Trevor, Richard Eastham aka General Blankenship and Beatrice Colen aka Etta Candy! Season One's Villains and Characters for that Era was Pretty Cool as well! First of all Wish ABC would of stuck with and picked up on the Next Two Seasons! and Second That when CBS Picked up on and doing Seasons Two and Three That There Could of been Sixteen Years Age Gap Time Eras Storylines between the Three Seasons! Going Right Directly into 1977 Disco Era was so lame for the Show's run! Thank-You for Sharing!
This was one I watched along with The Incredible Hulk. Linda Carter was definitely worth looking at no matter what season of the show you are watching!
I fell in love with Lynda Carter as a kid. Now fast forward to the year, 2001, I had a girlfriend who looked a little like Lynda Carter, she had her eyes, her smile. Sadly, May of 2021 I lost her from a massive heart attack. She left behind 4 of her kids who were all married and have kids of their own, and her Mom that is still living. But in 2003 we broke up but in 2017 I found her again through Facebook and remain friends up until her passing. My life has not been the same since she's been gone, I still loved her and I think she was liking me all over again as well. So the television Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter will always be my favorite. Plus, Lynda Carter's birthday and mine are the same, July 24th. And my old girlfriend who past away, hers July 31st.
I didn't remember the premise of the series but I like how they did a time jump between Season 1 and Season 2. It absolutely falls in with the idea of what we know about Wonder Woman in modern pop culture -- that she has been around the world of men for a long time.
You make a lot of really good points in this. First season always the best season. After that you can literally feel the studio and placement and all that. It gets in the way.
This was my favorite show as a child. I remember watching seasons 2 & 3, and then watching it all the time on reruns here in Chicago back in the early '80's. Thanks for the video.
When Lynda Carter appeared on The View, the theme song came on, she entered and got a STANDING OVATION. A fitting honor to the actress who brought WW to life.
When I watched the series, one thing I really noticed was the huge difference in Lynda Carter's acting as the show progressed. She seemed a little cold the first season but by the third season, she was so realistic. Her acting was amazing. I would've loved to see her in other post WW films after that, as she really developed the chops. I did see Hotline years later, I rather enjoyed that movie.
Wonder Woman's immortality must have rubbed of on Lynda Carter because she hasn't aged a day! I was glad to see the 2nd Wonder Woman movie pay tribute to Lynda Carter. Speaking of movies... Professor (William Moulton) Marston & the Wonder Women was a movie in 2017 that tells the tale of Wonder Woman's creator. It also explains why Wonder Woman was always being bound.
I have been a fan of Wonder Woman my entire life, and I have to say this was an especially fun take on the character and her history. The clips and commentary are fun, and this was clearly a loving and humorous take on Wonder Woman. Well done!
My father always just walked through the TV room on the way to the garage, ignoring whatever I was watching but for some reason he'd stop and stay for a bit when I was watching the wonder woman series. I think he knew the theme music as he'd always find a reason to pass through when the music came on the television.
Incredible charm and beauty of Linda Carter and a strong woman actress. She fit the role well. Perhaps the plots could have been more diverse and sometimes deeper, but okay for the time the show came out. Just a fun lighthearted show!
Don't forget Emma Peel, Honey West, Cathy Gale, Sheena- all in the 60s. Also, Cathy Lee Crosby's WW was taken from the comics when the character was de-powered and a spy with martial arts skills.
Didn't mention Wonder Girl was played by Deborah Winger. Also, Carter did her own stunt hanging from the helicopter without a safety wire at 11:36 just to get the episode done on time.
Lynda Carter was gorgeous as Wonder Woman, and (even though in her 70s today) still looks beautiful today. She turned up in _Wonder Woman 84,'_ which is cool even though the movie wasn't received as well as the previous. I want to do a full watch of the show when I catch up with my long 'To Watch' list. Oh! And Stam, you forgot something else that happens a lot in the show: Diana/Wonder Woman gets chloroformed a lot.
I used to nag my dad to let me watch 'The Six Million Dollar Man,' which was on the same time as 'Wonder Woman,' on the other channel. My mother would always insist my father give in to my eight year-old preferences and my father would grumble and put on Lee Majors, instead of Lynda Carter. Our relationship, to this day, has never recovered.
God i loved this show. I really wanted the soundtrack to this show. I remember running upstairs and turning this show on when it aired. I was always excited to see this show. The intro was and is the best next to MASH.
Great video! I loved how WW and that woman were fighting while rolling down that lawn all the way through (was the the house/lawn that portrayed Wayne Manor in the 60s Batman TV show?)
Got The first series on DVD. Remember both the Cathy Lee Crosby Movie and The Linda Carter Pilot being shown on ITV in the 1970's early 80's Then BBC bought the 1970's set 2nd season
I preferred the series that were set in the 1970s, personally. I got so sick of the Nazi stuff. And her 1970's fashions were largely awesome. Beautiful woman. She really was driving those Jeeps. Thanks for the review.
I prefer the 1970s episodes. The Nazi enemy got too boring. I like the set-up for Diana as a confident agent rather than Yeoman Prince following dopey about. Lynda's performance just got better with every season. She did some of her own stunts, including the risky hanging from a helicopter, which she wasn't authorized to do. One of the stunt women couldn't perform the stunt (injured or something) and Lynda just did it to save time. She later got told off for it! You show the shot in video. Anyway, good overview.
When I was little, I thought the comic books were drawn to resemble Christopher Reeve as Superman and Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman. Those two seemed genetically created to play their roles. Cheesy? Sure. Preferable to the dour, humorless, colorless DC cinematic universe that keeps crapping out disappointment after disappointment? ABSOLUTELY.
@@osmanyousif7849 back then, and for the most part still today, movies were in many if not most cases vehicles to promote a particular actor or actress, not an ensemble. Also, far as I know, nothing like that had been done before except maybe dirty dozen, or magnificent 7. It wouldn't even occur to writers back then to make such a movie, not to mention the budgetary complications/special effects
Wonder Woman reps the late 1970s big time. Lynda was so much better than the plots, really the only reason to watch was her and her stunts. Some of the stunts were so tough that guys had to do them for her, such as the famous motorcycle jump over the fountain. One of the best tv series intros, too. Lots to like, Lynda Carter is iconic.
I'm loving your videos on both tv incarnations of the Amazing Amazon. Your respect and endearment for older shows comes through.--The first season certainly had lots of style, and the first half of the second season was loads of fun. Sure, the first half of the second season was very much Bionic Man-influenced, but some of those episodes were pretty well-written and dramatic (I'm thinking "Knockout" here, one of my faves of the entire series). Then, Bruce Lansbury, nephew of you-know-who, took over. He had pulled a stint on "Mission Impossible" for some time and changed the series up. From that point on, the series starts to lose its direction. Some of the episodes that followed were gems, for sure, but the quality writing became almost non-existent for most episodes. Honestly, the third season is mostly worth skipping altogether.
Still to this day i pop the odd episode on when I feel a little blue, and there she is with that smile, lighting up the entire world. S02 where she is wearing bright yellow trousers infiltrating a base in a lighthouse with two guards in broad daylight lives in my head rent free.
Great info for the new take on Wonder Woman. First that in the series Trevor dies and his son ends up working with Wonder Woman. Who happens to look a lot like his dad. Now the new Wonder Woman needs her spin.

Lynda Carter's smile could light up the eastern seaboard. Perfect casting.
Casting seems like its easy to most people, but there are many examples of what happens when someone is cast who isn't right for the role. Wonder Woman definitely did a good job in that regard.
I have them all until hardrive dies
That's what I thought, so I made a tribute video to it.

Lynda Carter is just so hot
Believe it or not there was a lot of bondage in Marston’s original Wonder Woman stories!
yes, quite a bit
Watched bits of it when it was first shown in the UK late 70s era watched some of it on TV years later got all 3 seasons on DVD as a box set
I am and always have been a big fan of wonder woman she has always been my favorite DC comic book character.
I wish that they would make another live action TV series of wonder woman
The best show ever made
Didn't mention Wonder Girl was played by Deborah Winger. Also, Carter did her own stunt hanging from the helicopter without a safety wire at 11:36 just to get the episode done on time.

I loved when she fought the alien monster, when he picked up wonder woman and her kicking and squirming around trying to get out of it!
I love these videos! Informative and funny!
Loved the narrative, thanks! Very funny
I prefer the 1970s episodes. The Nazi enemy got too boring. I like the set-up for Diana as a confident agent rather than Yeoman Prince following dopey about. Lynda's performance just got better with every season. She did some of her own stunts, including the risky hanging from a helicopter, which she wasn't authorized to do. One of the stunt women couldn't perform the stunt (injured or something) and Lynda just did it to save time. She later got told off for it! You show the shot in video. Anyway, good overview.
That's a good point. Glad you enjoyed.
That was the Best Stunt on the Show.
When I was little, I thought the comic books were drawn to resemble Christopher Reeve as Superman and Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman. Those two seemed genetically created to play their roles. Cheesy? Sure. Preferable to the dour, humorless, colorless DC cinematic universe that keeps crapping out disappointment after disappointment? ABSOLUTELY.
Good casting makes a massive difference. That applies to behind the scenes talent as well.
Shazam was a great flick aquaman was pretty good
Don’t forget Adam West’s Batman. Honestly, why Couldn’t they create a Justice League movie with all these actors at the time?
@@osmanyousif7849 back then, and for the most part still today, movies were in many if not most cases vehicles to promote a particular actor or actress, not an ensemble. Also, far as I know, nothing like that had been done before except maybe dirty dozen, or magnificent 7. It wouldn't even occur to writers back then to make such a movie, not to mention the budgetary complications/special effects
@@nomorerepublicans825 I mean, if they can bring King Kong and Godzilla into a crossover in 1962, anything could have been possible.
I watch the show with my great grandmother.
Nice!
Loved Wonder Woman & The Bionic Woman 🤘✌️👍
I really liked this good job
Thanks!
Wonder Woman reps the late 1970s big time. Lynda was so much better than the plots, really the only reason to watch was her and her stunts. Some of the stunts were so tough that guys had to do them for her, such as the famous motorcycle jump over the fountain. One of the best tv series intros, too. Lots to like, Lynda Carter is iconic.
I'm loving your videos on both tv incarnations of the Amazing Amazon. Your respect and endearment for older shows comes through.--The first season certainly had lots of style, and the first half of the second season was loads of fun. Sure, the first half of the second season was very much Bionic Man-influenced, but some of those episodes were pretty well-written and dramatic (I'm thinking "Knockout" here, one of my faves of the entire series). Then, Bruce Lansbury, nephew of you-know-who, took over. He had pulled a stint on "Mission Impossible" for some time and changed the series up. From that point on, the series starts to lose its direction. Some of the episodes that followed were gems, for sure, but the quality writing became almost non-existent for most episodes. Honestly, the third season is mostly worth skipping altogether.
Thanks. Lots of interesting details there.
Love your commentary, mate. So refreshing!
Thanks!
You'll wonder where the yellow went, when Stam Fine brushes his whole video with Pepsodent! *TING!*
Still to this day i pop the odd episode on when I feel a little blue, and there she is with that smile, lighting up the entire world.
S02 where she is wearing bright yellow trousers infiltrating a base in a lighthouse with two guards in broad daylight lives in my head rent free.
Great info for the new take on Wonder Woman. First that in the series Trevor dies and his son ends up working with Wonder Woman. Who happens to look a lot like his dad. Now the new Wonder Woman needs her spin.
Lynda Carter is beautiful and wonderful and well ALL know that....
