Rating: Summary: Wonder Woman on DVD Review: After much fan outcry, Warner Bros. video has finally done the impossible: released a full season of the 1970s Wonder Woman series on DVD. This first release contains all of the WWII era episodes of the classic series in which we can see the amazing Amazon from Paradise Island fight nazis, bring in the bad guys and of coarse help save the ever in peril handsome soldier Steve Trevor. In the pilot, "The New Original Wonder Woman", we discover how Diana left her island to help the Americans fight the nazi regime. Included in this episode is an audio commentary by series star Lynda Carter herself and series executive producer Douglas Cramer. Other episodes included on the DVD set (without commentary) are: "Wonder Woman Meets Baroness Von Gunther", "Fausta: The Nazi Wonder Woman", "Beauty on Parade", "The Feminum Mystique" parts 1 and 2 (introducing actress Debra Winger for the first time ever), "Wonder Woman vs. Gargantua", "The Pluto File", "Last of the Two Dollar Bills", "Judgement from Outer Space" parts 1 and 2, "Formula 407", "The Bushwackers" (starring cowboy legend Roy Rogers), and "Wonder Woman in Hollywood". Added as a special feature is the featurette "Beauty, Brawn and Bulletproof Braclets: A Wonder Woman Restrospective." All in all, this is a really fun set to own as it brings back a lot of childhood fun. And compared to other television series DVD releases, you just can't beat this price.

Rating: Summary: CLASSIC TELEVISION-CLASSIC AMERICAN LEGEND Review: Wonder Woman is classic television born from THE classic legendary American Heroin! Lynda Carter does an amazing job bringing Princess Diana/Diana Prince/Wonder Woman to life! Always portraying her with a genuine honesty and humanity, never flaky or plastic or over the top unbelievable, which is why she continues to live in our hearts and memories till this day. Her image was imprinted into the psyche of every man woman and child during the 1970s; even more so then Charlie's Angels or The Bionic Woman, also classics. She thrilled and inspired boys and girls alike! Even the cheesy episodes sprinkled throughout the later years are a joy to watch as we wait with bated breath for Diana to spin into Wonder Woman to save the day! A wonderful DVD collection would be an instant hit, especially with plenty of extra footage, behind the scenes and even bloopers; all of which are immensely popular extras that help boost sales! SO BRING IT ON!
Rating: Summary: Wonder Woman Revisited Review: Is it true? is WB finally releasing this gem of a television series on DVD???? - THANK YOU. Long gone are the days where loosely scripted stories, high impact, and some of the cheesiest lines you'll ever hear, were staple viewing diet for 70's/80's kids. Lynda Carter WAS the defining television Super-Hero Icon For those of us who have recently revisited WW either through syndication, Columbia House Videos or the UK's 2 Volume DVD releases (the first 6 episodes of Season 2 - although Vol2 skips The Pied Piper and goes straight to The Queen & the Thief), you'll no doubt have been surprised at the now painfully obvious technical flaws of the show, too many to mention, but that isn't enough to ignore the charm that still remains. And despite the some times hilarious short comings of the series, WW truly is a 'Wonderful' trip backwards. It is 99% of what I remember it to be, and the fact that her 'transformation' into her 'Star-Spangled Banner' costume still has me transfixed in these jaded days of high tech effects, CGI and the like, making this show my truly all time favorite television series. Yes it's cheesy, let not lie about it, but it's cheese that seem to make it what it is. This needs to be given the full five star treatment - Complete Series DVD release of season 1,2 &3, Behind the scenes, out-takes, Interviews - the works!!!! - Do it once and do it RIGHT! Lets celebrate WW and everything that was great about this show. They surely don't make 'em like they use to.
Rating: Summary: Great DVDs but... Review: Warner Bros. released 2 volumes in the UK on DVD thus far, but they are roughly the first 6 episodes from The New Adventures of Wonder Woman. Personally, I would've preferred say a mix of The New Original...(WWII episodes) along with The New Adventures...(updated to the 70's.) In any case, what we have here is a fine package with an excellent video transfer (unlike the Columbia House videos, these have been color corrected.) Included in the extras are picture galleries of Lynda Carter as WW and various collectibles associated with the TV show. Too bad it's only currently available in Region 2 in the PAL format.
