TV
Theme Lyrics for the Wonder Woman Series
By Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox
Wonder Woman, Wonder
Woman.
All the world's waiting for you, and the power you possess.
In your satin tights, fighting for your rights,
And the old Red, White and Blue.
Wonder Woman, Wonder
Woman.
Now the world is ready for you, and the wonders you can
do.
Make a hawk a dove, stop a war with love,
Make a liar tell the truth.
Wonder Woman, get
us out from under, Wonder Woman.
All our hopes are pinned on you, and the magic that you
do.
Stop a bullet cold, make the axis fold,
Change their minds and change the world.
Wonder Woman, Wonder
Woman.
You're a wonder, Wonder Woman.

The First Wonder
Woman Appearance on film was in a four minute short created
by Batman TV series producer William Dozier, called "Wonder
Woman - Who's Afraid Of Diana Prince". It was
never officially screened by the public, but the comedy
was nixed by the network (ABC). She was an "Ugly
Duckling" girl who lived with her mother. When she
looked in the mirror, she (and we) saw Wonder Woman.

The
second Wonder Woman appearance was the 1974 TV movie
Wonder
Woman, starring Cathy Lee Crosby. The costume
was not the one we know and love, and we've yet to
encounter anyone who preferred this version of the
character.
In spite of the poor reception of this feature, tennis
pro Cathy Lee went on to moderate acting success,
however, when they revamped the film for the following
year's TV show, they loudly proclaimed it "The
NEW ORIGINAL Wonder Woman." |
In
1975, they finally got it right with "The
New Original Wonder Woman" TV Movie, starring
Lynda Carter. She had the look and costume of the
original character.
Wonder Woman creator, William Moulton Marston was
given partial writing credit, although he passed away
in 1947. Most of the time his name is mentioned, they
tell you he was a psychologist. Now we did too! |
 |
This
led to the 1976-1979 series "Wonder
Woman".
ABC
had the series for the first season, taking place during
World War II. The series was taken to CBS is seasons 2
and 3, with Steve Trevor, Jr. (Her original boyfriend's
son) playing her new love interest in those modern 1970s.
Lyle Waggoner played both the father and the son. Kinky,
but convenient.
