View the 1967 Woder Woman (never aired) TV Pilot.

The first attempt to translate Wonder Woman to the small screen was in 1967, when the success of the Batman television show led to a flurry of copycat series. Greenway Productions, the company behind the Batman show, produced a four-and-a-half-minute Wonder Woman test reel starring Ellie Wood Walker as Diana Prince, Linda Harrison as Diana's Wonder Woman alter ego and Maudie Prickett as her mother. As with Batman, the reel took a comic slant on the character. This pilot episode was never broadcast.

I have to tell you it's bad. The best way to play it after you click the link below is to put it on pause and let it finish loading and then play it. If you don't, it will stop and start alot.

That's just wrong. Very, very wrong. disbelief

From the look she was giving herself after turning into Wonder Woman, it seemed like she was going out to get laid rather than going out to save people. lol

Uh... This was bad.

I saw the Cathy Lee Crosby version air once on TV. It was pretty horrendous, too.

Linda Carter will forever be the best and only Wonder Woman for me, I think.

This is because an actress named Ellie Wood Walker is playing the main role of Wonder Woman and Diana Prince and another actress named Linda Harrison (the hot chick named Nova in the first planet of the apes movie) is playing her mirror reflection (uncredited). The Narrator says that she thinks that she is as beautiful as Aphrodite. That's why they had a different actress playing her mirror image. She saw herself in a delusive way as beautiful, when in reality she was a plain Jane. Her reflection turned the wrong way, because the actress playing the reflection messed up.
