Wonder Woman!

[Johnny Stew]

"In this dark Summer of 1942, the onslaught of the Third Reich continues under the leadership of an indecent and corrupt man. His over-trained and blindly obedient army continues to ravish what is left of Free Europe.
While Il Douce grasps for his place, this wicked Axis tries to dominate the world.
President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill gather the Allies in the defense of the Free World. The third Axis power plunders across the Pacific. Mankind is being threatened by these despicable villains. The only hope for Freedom and Democracy is... WONDER WOMAN!!!"



The first season of Wonder Woman is being released on DVD today. This was always one of my favorite shows when I was a kid (if not THE favorite), so I’m really looking forward to the boxed-set. Plus, it includes commentary on the pilot movie from Lynda Carter, and a new 20-minute documentary on the series. Should be fun!

TV Guide did a Q&A with Lynda Carter for the current issue, and I thought it was cute, so here it is....

Q&A: Lynda Carter
In the 1970s, Lynda Carter was fighting for your rights in her satin tights, at least on Wonder Woman, the show that made her famous. The 52-year-old former Miss USA is content with her own version of Paradise Island these days - raising her two kids in Washington, D.C. - but she does take occasional acting work, including a guest spont on Hope & Faith last fall. With the DVD of Wonder Woman's first season hitting stores on June 29th, we fired some bullet-like questions Carter's way - and she deflected them even without her magic bracelets. - John Sellers

Uh, I'm one of those guys who drooled over you when I was a kid.
I think that's very cool. You know, I like Wonder Woman, too. I thought she was the bomb, as my daughter would say.

Wonder Woman was kind of the full package, huh?
What I was hoping for was that men would see that women could be a lot of things: She was beautiful, smart and able to kick ass but also a good egg. It wasn't just about how she looked.

How often do you hear the theme song?
It's kind of my "Hail To The Chief." They play it whenever I'm around.

Who'd win in a fight between you and the Bionic Woman?
The Bionic Woman and I would never be fighting. We'd be on the same side.

But could you take Lindsay Wagner in an arm-wrestling match?
Oh, absolutely. No question about it.

How do I perfect Wonder Woman's signature spin move?
Honey, it's a secret, and one that I will never divulge.

What would it take to get you back in the costume?
Oh, God! There's not enough incentive in the world. World peace? I mean, I suppose I could get into that kind of shape again, but it would be like what Brad Pitt did for "Troy," where he took a year to get buff.

How much would you sell the magic lasso to me for?
(Laughs) It doesn't belong to me anymore. It belongs to my kids. I couldn't sell it.

Ok, then how about if you just lasso me and, you know, make me tell the truth?
Well, I would have some really great questions to ask you. We could get into some real soul-searching. (Pause) It would be really fun to put that around George Bush.

It would help the world. So I should just forget about the lasso thing, right?
You know what, you're just too young for me, honey.
