Maybe it has to do with Lynda feeling more comfortable in the roll or the writers getting a better feel for it, but I always liked the "modern" episodes better. Diana/Wonder Woman has more personality to her and develops a great sense of humor. Of course, the show also indulges more in the cheesy computer/sci-fi elements that were supposed to be cool but look funny by today's standards. And of course, the stunts pale compared to what we get today. I've always loved the pool backdrop when Wonder Woman is under water, for example. Fans of the show will love this set. It contains 22 episodes, including the extended second pilot. The picture has been restored and looks nice, but there are annoying bits of grain and dust in it. Could be better, but it's still good for a thirty year old show. The only thing in the way of bonus features is an eleven minute documentary on how the comics influenced the show and visa versa. Watching the show with my roommates who had never seen it before, I've discovered just how cheesy the show could still be. I think to best enjoy the show, you need to have memories of it from childhood. But if you can look at it from a kid's point of view, you'll find the wonder and fun this series still offers and be entertained.

New Network, New Decade, Great Show

After the first season, Wonder Woman changed networks from ABC to CBS. CBS decided the show would do better if were set in the present day, so suddenly we find Diana (Lynda Carter) back on Paradise Island. But it's not long before a face from her past crash lands on the island. It's Steve Trevor, Jr. (Lyle Waggoner), and Diana soon realized that she must once again become Wonder Woman to help fight for peace and justice against the evil geniuses and terrorists still in the world.
Not that the show is all bad. I find it highly entertaining. There were a few shows in here I hadn't seen before, and those shows kept me glued to the TV. And I've always loved scenes with IRAC, the computer. His non-personality personality is great for a laugh. As previously mentioned, the further we get in this season, the stronger the character becomes, and the better I like her.
