Before Lynda Carter became the definitive Wonder Woman, television nearly destroyed the character.
In 1974, ABC released a bizarre TV movie starring Cathy Lee Crosby that stripped away everything fans loved about the Amazon warrior. No superpowers. No mythology. Just a spy thriller wearing a superhero’s name.
One year later, the network tried again—and lightning struck.
Carter’s 1975 pilot launched one of the most iconic superhero shows in television history and helped redefine female heroes on screen.
But the story didn’t end there.
In 2011, NBC attempted a modern reboot starring Adrianne Palicki that was so strange it never even aired.
In this episode of Pulp Vision, we dive into the strange TV evolution of Wonder Woman—from forgotten pilots and network experiments to the version that became a cultural phenomenon!
Three pilots.
Three very different Diana Princes.
Only one legend.
