Wonder Woman - The Complete First Season

Pros: Tongue-in-cheek approach, gorgeously produced costume, faithful to original concept

Cons: 70s special effects with a limited budget, later episodes have writing and acting weaknesses

The Bottom Line: The tongue-in-cheek attitude sets just the right tone for Wonder Woman and this set makes an excellent companion to Christopher Reeve’s Superman movies.

Review: When the marketers of this DVD set call this the complete "first season" of Wonder Woman, it's a bit of joke. They may as well call it the ABC years, because this set actually covers all of the episodes that network aired over the course of two ...

Pros: Casting, costuming, WWII setting, faithful to comic book version of the character

Cons: Some stock footage problems, some effects and situations seem dated now

The Bottom Line: Fighting for our rights, in those satin tights...and the old red white and blue!

Review: This review, like so many others before it, could be the source of embarrassment for me. But, due to repeated damage to my facial capillaries, I can no longer blush. So here goes. Stop and think about Wonder Woman. Chances are, the first version ...

Pros: Entertaining show.  Carter as Wonder Woman.

Cons: Cheesy and silly at times.

The Bottom Line: Wonder Woman - The Complete First Season has some issues, but it is still an entertaining show worth seeing.

Review: Most of the more popular superheroes have been men with the women usually stuck in supporting roles.  They have frequently been regulated to the role of the victim needing rescued by the strong male superhero.  That has changed some as more ...

Pros: perfect casting of Lynda Carter, good stories, good role model

Cons: stilted dialogue, some uncoordinated special effects

The Bottom Line: It might appear campy and dated at times, but Wonder Woman was and still is my favorite superhero.

Review: The mid-1970’s was a time of a new, more modern heroes on television. Shows like The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman gave us heroes who lived everyday lives like the rest of us, with The Bionic Woman ...

Pros: Fun, decent stories

Cons: Cheesy, some stiff acting from Lynda Carter at times

The Bottom Line: It's not great, but it sure is fun.

Review: There is something about Wonder Woman I just can't let go. Yes, the show is cheesy and dated, especially by today's standards. But it is still so much fun. Of course, it helps that star Lynda Carter is drop dead gorgeous. This show was ...

Pros: Nostalgia, Documentary.

Cons: Minimal special features, double sided discs.

Review: Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman finally comes to DVD! The pilot, all first season episodes and a new documentary are included. These episodes are set in the World War 2 era and try to mimic the Comic Book feel. These episodes are great fun, but do start ...

Pros: It's cheesy fun; has girl power for women, and female beauty for men.

Cons: Takes awhile to get going before it's enjoyable.

The Bottom Line: Watch if you like seventies camp, or a fan of Wonderwoman, otherwise, don't bother with it.

Review: OK, now if you're interested in purchasing the first season of Wonder Woman, you're probably not the type of person who would care about continuity problems or cheesy special effects. I actually love these kind of shows, not just for the antiquity, but ...
