One day when I asked my dad, which TV series he was a big fan of in his childhood, he replied, Wonder Woman. Now I know why he is always ready to sponsor my Wonder Woman comics and why he will always sit in the drawing room when I am watching Justice League. And then he didn’t stop telling me about Wonder Woman until there were some guests at home.

I was enjoying the excitement with which he was describing Lynda Carter deflecting bullets. He was one of the regular audiences of both ‘The New Original Wonder Woman’ and ‘The New Adventures of Wonder Woman’. These TV series were aired 1975 onwards on ABC and BCS TV networks and Lynda Carter and Wonder Woman became synonyms after these TV series, he said.

After this success of Wonder Woman in television media, a movie released in which the iconic role of Wonder Woman was played by Cathy Lee Crosby. The movie did well but people could not accept Cathy as Wonder Woman much, because for them only Lynda Carter was Wonder Woman. So, Douglas S. Cramer came up with a Wonder Woman series on Warner Brothers Television and they also got Wonder Woman copyrighted. So my dad was talking about Wonder Woman, I had never seen him so happy.

Then he went back to the time when I was a kid. It was 1990s when a fourth Wonder Woman television project was announced. He had mixed feelings about it. He was happy that his Wonder Woman was coming back on TV, and also he was not sure if the new Wonder Woman would reach up to the mark. He was from the generation which identified Lynda Carter with Wonder Woman. In this fourth television project, Deborah Joy LeVine was assigned the task of script writing. My dad was keeping track of the news about this television project and as he said, the plot of this series was going to proceed on modern day Wonder Woman front. Diana lived at Los Angeles and worked as a professor at a college teaching Greek Mythology.

Everybody was waiting for the new Wonder Woman TV series and the production was also progressing but then there were news that the project was called. They did not even reach to the stage of casting. The official reason was given that the producers couldn’t find an actress as good as Lynda Carter. Dad said, he would have surely liked to watch the new Wonder Woman, but there were possibilities that people wouldn’t have liked it as much as the old show and there were few chances of success and profit. It is very true that people are going to judge every new Wonder Woman on the basis of Lynda Carter’s performance.
