SPECIALS ON SEASON 3:
WONDER WOMAN:
The Ultimate Feminist Icon!
From another reviewer at IMDb.com:
Lynda Carter's portrayal of Wonder Woman was one of the best
superhero performances ever. She really came across as a
super-powerful female, just as Lou Ferrigno came across on The
Incredible Hulk as a super-powerful green-skinned goliath. What
was even better was when Debra Winger guest-starred in three
episodes as WW's sister, Wonder Girl. Talk about a double dose
of babeness!!! - broadfoot
