I grew up in an era where there wasn't nearly as much money in the Superhero business. Essentially, producers would have to put a reasonably known actor or actress in a role to draw a crowd, and then they'd have to rely on some fairly rudimentary special effects (if any at all) in order to tell the story. The big budget Marvel and DC films of today just hadn't come into the realm of possibility, but boy oh boy television audiences still looked forward to watching the lovely Lynda Carter do her twirl -- an athletic, almost ballerina-like move that allowed her transformation from Diana Prince to Wonder Woman -- and deliver her own brand of Amazonian justice.
As can happen when these franchises get hot -- what with the new Wonder Woman coming out sometime after these quarantines get lifted -- Warner Bros. has dug deep into its archives to prepare a modern era Blu-ray release of the complete series run from the 1970's. The press release over at Bluray.com reports that the episodes have been fully restored, and they've even ponied up a few commentaries with Ms. Carter herself. The price (per Amazon.com) is a bit steep for my tastes -- it's early, and the SRP generally comes down a bit the closer the release date comes -- so I'll keep my eye out for a bargain.
As always, thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!
