The New Original Wonder Woman
The TV movie-of-the-week The New Original Wonder Woman airs on ABC, starring Lynda Carter and Lyle Waggoner. Red Buttons, Chloris Leachman and Eric Braeden guest star. This is ABC’s second attempt to bring the comic book heroine to the small screen (following a 1974 pilot movie starring Cathy Lee Crosby). Ratings and reviews are impressive enough to merit two more one-hour specials, followed by a series pickup.
