Britt Gillette's Wonder Woman (Season 2) DVD Review
Nominated for a single Emmy in its short three season stint, Wonder Woman - which premiered in 1976 - was the third attempt by the major networks to bring the popular comic book character to TV. Created as the result of a collaboration between the multi-talented William M. Marston and DC Comics publisher Maxwell Gaines, Wonder Woman made her world premiere in a 1941 comic book. The final product of Gaines' request for a female comic book hero, Marston never lived to see his creation become a television star (he died prematurely from skin cancer in 1947), but his legacy lives on through the Wonder Woman franchise which continues to entertain worldwide audiences to this day…
Wonder Woman follows the exploits of the Amazonian princess, Diana, who leaves her Paradise Island home in order to bring justice to the world of men. Athletic and intelligent, Diana Prince (as she's known to the outside world) also possesses special powers that are brought about when she whirls around to transform into Wonder Woman. Her magic belt gives her added strength, her metallic bracelets deflect bullets, and her tiara doubles as a boomerang… In addition, she's aided by a magic golden lasso which forces her captives to tell the truth! Season 1 of Wonder Woman takes place during the era of World War II where the Allies enlist the help of the female superhero to defeat the Nazis, while Seasons 2 and 3 take place in modern day times (1977-1978)…
The Wonder Woman (Season 2) DVD features a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere "The Return of Wonder Woman" in which Wonder Woman convinces her mother, Queen of the Amazonians, that she must return to the free world and fight for justice. Her mother agrees, and sends her out to do so, as well as protect the secret of Paradise Island. When Wonder Woman arrives back in the world of men, she is reunited with Col. Steve Trevor, the WWII pilot who crashed on Paradise Island decades before… Other notable episodes from Season 2 include "The Man Who Made Volcanoes" in which Wonder Woman is tasked with defeating a man who threatens to destroy the world through artificially-created volcanoes, and "Flight to Oblivion" in which Wonder Woman disguises herself as a reporter in order to uncover a conspiracy to sabotage an experimental Air Force fighter…
