And ones that also have an affinity for capes and high-heeled boots, no less!

I definitely remember Devra on the show. She looked better when she got older, IMO.

I always loved WW her in the cape.

And I agree, there's never been a woman on television who could quite hold a candle to Lynda Carter (though Jaclyn Smith and Delta Burke sure come close).

I never said I'd marry Stevie. We're definitely too different.

Like I said, I liked Jaclyn, but I don't think Delta comes close. (She's pretty, but not on their level, IMO.)

And wait a sec, I thought that's Christy!

Still, it was Wonder Woman who was tops in my book.

Underoos were so much fun... I had Superman, Spiderman, Batman and Aquaman underoos.

I had the Six Million Dollar Man board game.

Remember Helen Hunt as the alien princess on The Bionic Woman?

I have a stack of old WW comics that I need to dig out. I have a complete series involving another Amazon challenging (and beating) Diana for the title of Wonder Woman. I wish the series had done more with WW's powers - she could do much more than lasso people and flash her bracelets (and that silly tiara-as-boomerang bit). In the competition, there's one scene where the Amazons are in space, and Diana and the challenger are racing by leaping between flaming comet fragments and asteroids. Maybe with the DVD releases, there will be enough interest to sell them on eBay.

Maybe they're saving that for the movie. They're making one, you know.

No, I didn't know that! That should be fun. Please tell me that Slutney Spears and Jessica Simpson have already been EXCLUDED from playing the title role... (I'm still pissed that they gave the Daisy Duke role to Jessica. Daisy was the smartest, most bad-ass character on the show -- WTF???)

I was never much of a Catherine Bach fan. Her forehead scared me.

The movie is in its early stages, and they're still working on casting the lead. I can't remember the names that were up for it, but I want to say Alyssa Milano was one. She's beautiful but I don't see her as WW.
