Wonder Woman
All the world's waiting for you
And the power you possess
In your satin tights,
Fighting for your rights
And the old Red, White and Blue.
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman
Now the world is ready for you,
And the wonders you can do.
Make a hawk a dove,
Stop a war with love,
Make a liar tell the truth
Wonder Woman
Get us out from under, Wonder Woman
All our hopes are pinned on you
And the magic that you do
Stop a bullet cold,
Make the Axis fall,
Change their minds, and change the world
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman
You're a wonder, Wonder Woman
If you recognize those words then you know they are the lyrics to the 1970s Wonder Woman TV series starring Lynda Carter as the Amazon Princess.
Each week Wonder Woman, along with her male companion Steve Trevor, sought out and fought evil forces (earthbound or terrestrial) that threatened mankind.
The 1970s was a great time for superheroes on TV. Wonder Woman, The Incredible Hulk, The Six Million-Dollar Man and so many other memorable shows.
Sure, by today’s standards the stories were a little tame and the visual effects almost laughable at points but they were still great shows.
I can think of no greater choice to play Wonder Woman than the statuesque Lynda Carter.
She was both beautiful and brainy and portrayed Wonder Woman perfectly on TV.
Warner Bros./DC Comics present the Wonder Woman The Complete Series totally remastered on DVD.
All 59 episodes are included along with some great features and even a commentary by Lynda Carter herself.
Did you know that Lynda Carter wasn't the first TV Wonder Woman and that the first season was set during World War II?
Look for some great villains, lots of action, swinging seventies fashion, music and settings and loads of fun.
