Trivia:

The first two actual episodes of the first season (the pilot was originally shown as a made for TV movie) were broadcast as TV "specials". The executives at ABC were still unsure if they wanted to commit to a full season of the series and decided to produce 2 episodes and show them as specials. When these specials generated high ratings, ABC gave the green light for the series and the remaining 11 episodes to be shown in the fall.

Goofs:

Continuity: In "Séance of Terror" Diana's glass at the reception is less than half full from the front. The next shot over her shoulder shows the cup to be much fuller.

Quotes:

Nazi Agent #1: This plan is foolproof. Not only are we going to steal the formula right out from under the Americans' noses, but we will also capture one of their greatest war heroes... Major Steve Trevor.

Movie Connections:

Featured in Wonder Woman: Daughter of Myth (2009) (V)

The most beautiful hero of our time and the TV-series that made the beautiful Lynda Carter so famous.

Every young man now grown up remembers the crush they had on "Wonder Woman" and Lynda Carter she is so beautiful and Lynda took the "Wonder Woman" character, and made it one of the most respected characters in entertainment history. "Wonder Woman" also wore the most beautiful costume remember the sparkling red with blue and gold mixture those colors really showed her American pride! I know many males like me would just love to have Wonder Woman place that golden-lasso around them! Aside from the "Wonder Woman"/Lynda Carter beauty this series always had great crime stopping action each episode contained much drama and action along with rescues, hostage situations, and just all out great entertainment. If "Wonder Woman" is ever made into a motion picture on the big screen pray that Lynda Carter is cast as "Wonder Woman" she is so beautiful and has so much history associated with the character her age shouldn't be a factor she still is such a great and dedicated actress. By the way you can catch reruns episodes of "Wonder Woman" on Sci-Fi so watch them and return to a favorite of many people.
