Summary: Wonder Woman fans rejoice!
Review: The dream is about to come true for so many Wonder Woman fans... finally, the incredible first season released in its entirety on DVD. The pilot episode, (usually edited down considerably for television,) introduces both the television audience and the U.S., which finds itself at war with Nazi Germany, to the benevolent and powerful Princess Diana, who in the guise of Wonder Woman helps fight tyranny on the side of democracy and the free world.

The beautiful Lynda Carter won the hearts of millions in the role that seemed made for her. Her grace and charm are particularly beguiling in this, the first season, where the character of Wonder Woman is still veiled in certain air of mystery. With an excellent supporting cast, a good number of superb story lines, and just the right mix of camp, this DVD is sure to become a favorite of nostalgia buffs who have been waiting anxiously for its release.

Seasons two and three (not included on this DVD) are set in the 1970s and offer a different feel, less camp, and fewer references to the comic book mythology. Even still, they are full of Wonder...

Wonder Woman fans, rejoice!

Summary: Wonder Woman was a magical part of growing up in the 70's
Review: I'm amazed that one of my all-time favorite shows from the 1970's is coming to DVD as a complete season. Where do I line up? As other reviewers have pointed out, the first season was set in World War II. When the next season came, the show hopped networks and had a makeover of sorts as a result of the transition. This first season, however, is classic. The pilot episode is magical and has as much drama and dynamic tension as any of today's shows. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking up a copy. Lynda Carter does the character justice... and then some.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WONDER WOMAN...FINALLY!
Review: Being the designer of the DVD packaging, I had to watch the entire first season before creating the package....and keep in mind I had not seen these episodes since the 70s when I was a kid.
Watching them now, of course they may be dated in regards to special effects, but what comes through...still...is how charming and wonderful Lynda Carter is in the title role. I can't help but smile watching her magnetism on screen. Has an actress ever fit a iconic role more than Ms. Carter? I don't think so. This alone is worth the price of the DVD boxed set...but seeing the fun episodes and how entertaining they really are, makes it a keeper. You can have your special effects laden "Super Hero" movies.....give me the sweetness and strength of Ms. Carter's Diana Prince/Wonder Woman any day.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: She's back!
Review: I am very happy the Wonder Woman is back. She is beautiful and strong and represents what the very day woman is. I hope that they bring back all the seasons. Even though people might think that it will be corny but to the true Wonder Woman fan, she will and always be priceless.

Summary: You're A Wonder, Wonder Woman! And You're On DVD!
Review: Created by Charles Moulton and published in DC Comics, Wonder Woman originally made her TV debut in a 1974 made-for-TV movie, which starred Cathy Lee Crosby, best known as the blonde host from the popular 80s show "That's Incredible!" Lynda Carter (a stunning brunette) took over the role during the 1975-76 season, appearing in three specials - "The New Original Wonder Woman," "Fausta, the Nazi Wonder Woman," and "Wonder Woman Meets Baroness Von Gunter" - before the title role became a regularly scheduled series the following season.

This DVD collection features Wonder Woman's complete first season which originally ran on ABC from December 18, 1976 to July 30, 1977. In this fan-favorite first season Wonder Woman assumes the secret identity of Diana Prince helping the Americans fight the Nazis. Also features love interest Major Steve Trevor (Lyle Waggoner), Steve's C.O. General Blankenship (Richard Eastham), comic relief Corporal Etta Candy (Beatrice Colen), and Diana's younger amazonian sister, Drusilla/Wonder Girl (Debra Winger), who was as easy on the eyes as her sister in her Wonder suit.

Everything you remember from the show's heyday is here for your viewing pleasure - Wonder Woman's incredible stength, speed and agility, bulletproof bracelets, boomerang tiara, magic lasso ("you are compelled to tell the truth"), and yes, invisible plane. Gotta love that infectious theme song and the comic-book opening main title. Many adults revisiting this classic show may scoff and snicker at the show's cheekiness at first glance but will be reminded that Lynda Carter's earnest performance is what gives the show it's credibility and charm. As much a role model for girls (and boys) as Superman was for boys Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman remains an American icon "in her satin tights, fighting for our rights and the old red, white and bluuuuuuu-uuuue!" (...)

Summary: Classics never go out of style
Review: Right up at the top of the 70s classic series is Wonder Woman, starring Lynda Carter as Diana Prince (Wonder Woman). This series, which ran in the decade before I was even born, is finally coming out on DVD, something that I've been waiting for years to see. Just like Lindsay Wagner, the Angels, and later Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lynda Carter created a character for the screen who was both powerful, sexy, and compassionate. I can't wait for the next years to come out.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Bullets, Bracelets, and now DVD's.
Review: Meet the United States' secret and most beautiful weapon in the fight against tyranny: Wonder Woman! Season One of Wonder Woman (the Pilot Movie and 13 regular episodes) retains the World War II era of the super heroine's early comic book adventures. Also captured is the exuberant tone of a comic book come to screen life as the warrior princess, empowered by her sense of a woman's worth and by the mysterious substance Feminum that's found only on her remote native isle, battles a succession of Nazi baddies. Former Miss USA Lynda Carter stars as the heroine who hides her identity behind the oversized glasses of a War Department functionary. But when duty and danger call, she transforms. And the wonders never cease.

Debra Winger shows up as "Wonder Girl", plus other guest stars include Cloris Leachman and Kenneth Mars. Lyle Waggoner co-stars as Major Steve Trevor, of course.

Episodes included are: "The New Original Wonder Woman" (90-minute pilot), "Wonder Woman Meets Baroness Von Gunther", "Fausta: The Nazi Wonder Woman", "Beauty on Parade", "The Feminum Mystique (Part 1)", "The Feminum Mystique (Part 2)", "Wonder Woman vs. Gargantua!", "The Pluto File", "Last of the Two Dollar Bills", "Judgement from Outer Space (Part 1)", "Judgement from Outer Space (Part 2)", "Formula 407", "The Bushwackers", and "Wonder Woman in Hollywood".

Included also is a featurette entitled "Beauty, Brawns and Bulletproof Bracelets: A Wonder Woman Retrospective". Also look for the commentary track, you'll find Lynda Carter doing one for the pilot, and sitting in with her is none other than Executive Producer Douglas S. Cramer.

Rating: 5 stars
