What’s Wonder Woman up to now? Flash forward 35 years from her stirring Season-One adventures defending America in World War II. Without missing a beat, Wonder Woman leaps from the big-band era to the disco decade, still miraculously young and still using wits, wiles and astonishing powers to fight evil. Season Two (21 episodes following a feature-length season premiere) introduces Wonder Woman to a new America of nuclear power and computers. Teamed with Steve Trevor, son of the dashing major she worked with during World War II, she takes the name Diana Prince – and takes on all kinds of danger from terrorists, mad geniuses, crooks and even a diabolical rock star while working for America’s Inter-Agency Defense Command. Wonder Woman, we’re proud you’re on our side!With World War II coming to an end, what will Amazonian Diana Prince (Lynda Carter) do for Wonder Woman‘s second season? Sporting the biggest continuity jump in TV history, Wonder Woman’s new network (now on CBS from ABC) decided to catapult the show 35 years into the future into “modern day” Los Angeles, 1977. Not surprisingly, the 35 years haven’t aged the immortal one bit. In fact, she seems to have gotten stronger, her super powers have increased, and her mind is sharper and focused on fighting the evils of the modern world: nuclear weapons, terrorists, aliens, and the mind controlling influences of rock music. Season 2 kicks off with the awesome hour-and-a-half season premiere, “The Return of Wonder Woman.” Returning once again from Paradise Island, Diana Prince (a.k.a. Wonder Woman) teams up this time with former colleague Major Steve Trevor’s son (still played by Lyle Waggoner) to protect humankind and to keep Paradise Island hidden from the free world. In the 21 episodes that follow, Wonder Woman will take on a nuclear facility planning to build near Paradise Island, a mad scientist plotting against the super heroine with telekinesis, mind-stealing aliens from outer space, an evil toymaker’s demented androids, and a rock star(Martin Mull?!) who is using hypnosis to control the minds of his fans. In this new millennium, Wonder Woman may seem a bit cheesy to some, but to others this show and Lynda Carter represent the pinnacle of ’70s television culture. Wonder Woman: The Complete Second Season is a completely satisfying guilty pleasure for those who want to indulge. –Rob Bracco

Wonder Woman had the crapiest uniform of all the DC heros except maybe the 90′s Flash. I mean a Homecoming Queen’s Teira, a bathing suit & combat boots? oh and some indestructable tin foil bracelts, but lets face it she made it work for her!For those that don’t know Lynda Carter is the Third incarnation and most famos of the busty Amazon to make it to tv.Anyone ever seen the four minuet short “Wonder Woman:Who’s Afraid of Diana Prince?” starting Ellie Wood Walker the first woman to ever play Diana Prince/Wonder Woman. Then there was Cathy Lee Crosby who played her as a blonde back in 1974.

Even as a pre-teen I felt the ABC version of this show was better than the CBS presentation. Revisiting these episodes more than 25 years later I am amazed at how poor they are. The show has one thing going for it–Lynda Carter looks fantastic as WW. Other than that, there’s nothing. Though Carter’s acting grew more assured on CBS, her decision to portray Diana/WW as sarcastic, flippant and bored with crime-fighting is a huge turn off. After about the first six episodes there is virtually no resemblance to the comic book character. It becomes The Diana Prince Secret Agent Show. The direction is dull. The writing strives for more sophistication than on ABC, but it doesn’t deliver. Unintentional camp is the result. This is only for the most die-hard fans.

The product is good, but the case had been crushed, making the 4th slot for disc storage unusable (disc falls out & can be scatched). Arrived in a timely manner.

Season 2, the suit is way better, and the series must have agreed with me because they kept it for season 3 and 4 as well. Mind Stealers from space puzzled me at first, Andros was played by Tim O’connor in season 1 – Judgement from space. Mind Stealers From Space was even better but I wish Tim O’connor could have guest starred, but he was involved in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century as DR. Huer. This season got a better rating because of the better era, and her suit was fabulous. Lynda Carter is and always will be beautiful in my book. Sorry for slacking on an episode guide… I also give Season 3 & 4 four stars as well. -JM
