As I just stumbled across an old Mego Wonder Woman doll that I purchased several years ago, I suddenly felt the need to do some youtubin' of the old Wonder Woman tv series from the seventies. For those of you that want to see some amazing clips (and by amazing, I of course mean cheesy), here goes. Let's start with that amazing theme song... really, I love everything that is amazing about it!
I only saw these shows as reruns in the early eighties and then again when I was in my early twenties and they were running them on tv. My absolute favorite thing was when Wonder Woman transformed into something rather than her usual crime fighting outfit. First, may I present the diving suit:
Yes my friends, that was on prime time tv. You also have to love the skate boarding accessories:
I'm not sure, but they may have sped up the film on some of that ;) Last, but not least, the motor cycle outfit, which appears to be a mixture of the diving suit paired with the skateboard equipment and then repurposed with some gold spray paint:
I like how she seems REALLY focused on spinning in that one. Of course, as I laugh at these clips and stare open mouthed at their production value (or lack there of), I actually love them and they warm my heart with nostalgic pre-CGI bliss. I need to find a place to proudly display that Wonder Woman doll!
