Description:
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.

"In your satin tights / Fighting for your rights / And the old Red, White, and Blue!... / Wonder Woman!" Could anyone who grew up in the '70s ever forget that super-catchy theme song? Originally packaged as the female version of the Batman TV show (producer Stanley Ralph Ross penned 32 of the caped crusader's episodes), Wonder Woman ended up redefining the campy, comic book genre. The primetime show immediately became a social and cultural phenomenon, attracting a wide audience that continued to tune in to America's favorite socially progressive superheroine.
Looking back on it now, it is easy to see the attraction of this unique show that oozed '70s culture, but was set in the 1940s. While trying to stop a Nazi plane from reaching the U.S., Major Steve Trevor (Lyle Waggoner) is shot down, landing on mythical Paradise Island. The uncharted island is the hidden home to the lost tribe of eternally young Amazon women. The Amazons take in the Major and nurse him back to health. During his recovery he attracts the sympathy and interest of Princess Diana (Lynda Carter, former Miss USA 1973) who is intrigued by the man from the mainland and his tales of the evil Nazis. She decides she must follow the Major back to the U.S. and join the forces of good against the tyranny of evil. So begins the saga of the beautiful Amazon Wonder Woman, armed with super strength, bulletproof bracelets, and the unbreakable, "truth-telling," golden lasso. What sets season 1 apart from the two subsequent seasons is that the pilot and each of the 13 episodes take place during World War II, corresponding to the original comic stories. In this season we see Wonder Woman battle spies, uncover Fausta the Nazi Wonder Woman, stop thieves trying to steal the secret substance of Amazonian power (Feminum), wrestle a Nazi-trained circus gorilla, and rescue an interplanetary visitor held captive by the Third Reich--all of which are priceless.
Included with the pilot episode is an extremely fun commentary track by Lynda Carter and producer Douglas C. Kramer. Also added on the DVD set is the making-of featurette "Beauty, Brawn and Bulletproof Bracelets." Yes, it is very campy, cheesy, dated, and filled with double entendres and subtle innuendos. But below the surface, there is something special that makes the show timeless and a pleasure to watch. Calling Wonder Woman: The Complete First Season a time capsule would be an understatement. But a time capsule in the most wonderful sense of the phrase. --Rob Bracco

As I kid I loved Wonder Woman and I have fond memories of her turning around and appearing with her red white and gold outfit and then Lassoing someone. I loved the series. I had her bracelets and if I had a choice I would have dressed up as Wonder Woman every day of my childhood. My mom gave me the first season as a gift and I honestly never thought of buying it. I have to say the show is still great and it does not disappoint. After watching an episode I wanted to be Wonder Woman again. You ... Read More

The pilot is worth the price of the ticket alone. Saw this with some friends who'd actually never seen Wonder Woman before, and to tell the truth, I'd never seen the pilot. Glorious really. Since then I've seen episode 1 and yes it did fall quite a few notches below what we'd seen. Though I never mind seeing Wonder Woman running around in the background whatever else may be happening. I should watch more episodes before reviewing this product I suppose, although after getting this first season ... Read More

Wonder Woman is known in the comics world as one of the big three of DC Comics along with Superman and Batman.
With the current popularity of the Amazon princess in DC Comics as the hero who will cross the line by killing, it's a perfect time for a DVD release of the 70's television series.
Wonder Woman was originated by William Moulton Marston, a lawyer and psychologists whose work was instrumental in the creation of the polygraphi (lie-detector) machine and ... Read More
