Just come off watching the last of the 66, 68 or so episodes. Whew, what a relief. This thing has not stood the test of time. It's tedious to watch despite it clearly being obvious that a hell of a lot of effort went into it... And, yes, Lynda Carter became truly awesome. But there is only so much even Lynda could do. The biggest problem was Lyle Waggoner, that guy should have been replaced by a puppet. A cute puppet would have upped the show's appeal tremendously. Lyle of the goofy forced fixed smile every opener... gets my vote as Worst Male Performer All-Time Ever! Pains me to say this, I learnt about his recent death only today. But really, talk about listless. There were a host of overly campy overly overplayed cardboard villains yet none ever amounted to anything like even just the shadow of what the writers intended them to be. Summed up, the most interesting villain from the comics, Cheetah, she wasn't here... But judging from the lackluster actor gene pool, maybe a good thing the producers didn't even try.
Lynda Carter, an A for effort, had good looks, pulled off the character DESPITE ALL ODDS. It was never ever a clever show. I'm addicted to supplying quotes for IMDb, but I was often hard-pressed to find something worthy episode by episode (Just think of all the catchy stuff in contemporary TV, I cannot keep up, but this thing... inane)
The costume was ridiculous in Season 1, got updated for Season 2, I learned not to be so critical anymore. Compared to Supergirl, Wonder Woman suxxxs sorry that's telling it like it is.
On a lighter note...
More than 66 episodes (whatever) and we still do not know where Wonder Woman buys her pantyhose. I mean, they don't snag or ladder, whatever...
Did I enjoy this?
Honestly, No. I learned to shudder every time I saw a chimpanzee or a dude oddly dressed up as an alien, and let me not get started on watching skinny guys (?) on scramblers dressed up as Wonder Woman.
Bye-bye, you're welcome to this. I can finally go on a nice long leave. Back to the real stuff before I took that wrong turn! GAME OF THRONES, VAMPIRE DIARIES, ORIGINALS, hey PRETTY LITTLE LIARS come here...!
P.S. as my followers know, I've got nothing much good to say re the 2017 movie either except for the costume.
As for this episode, aw, who cares? Buncha roller coasters. Who gives a damn?
