It was thanks to fantasy shows that ABC gained the battle for the ratings during the mid-seventies. Allegedly ABC used the Wonder Woman series as their secret weapon against their competition.  In spite of the erratic politics of the network with the series, Wonder Woman gained impressive ratings and there was no choice but to give it a weekly regular time slot. Nevertheless by the end of the season ABC showed no interested of renewal for a new season. However this was not the end of Wonder Woman for CBS showed interest on the show but with some "adequate" modifications.    First of all, they had no objections about Lynda Carter's sexy looks, just the opposite. In fact they exploited this to the maximum point with a new costume sexier than ever before and with some inventive additions like the underwater costume for instance. Second, and most important, the action was set in present times.

Though Lyle Waggoner stayed on the series, he played Steve Trevor Jr., the son of Mayor Steve Trevor, and he even went along with Diana on some of her missions.       By the beginning of the season Normann Burton played Joe Atkinson, who was sort of Steve and Diana's superior. By episode 9 -"The Man Who Made Volcanoes"-, he was "promoted" as well as Steve who was now Diana's superior. Although the stories were not limited to the Nazis and the World War II period and there was much more action, the series lost that magic of the ABC years. Lynda's portrayal of Wonder Woman was much more straight and half of the episode she spent her time jumping, running and showing off her superpowers. Though Lynda kept on doing some stunts, this time she had a team of expert stunt-doubles integrated by Kiffy O'Neal, Jeannie and Stephanie Epper and Debbie Evans.       But it seemed all the changes were not really "adequate". The ratings were not as good as during the ABC years and the production company contemplated the idea of recapturing the magic of the first season. In spite of this, the network renewed Wonder Woman's contract for another year.

The action is set in present time. After the end of War World II, Wonder Woman [LYNDA CARTER] came back to Paradise Island, but 32 years after she decides that in times of satellite communications the island may run the risk of being discovered and returns to the United States to fight against evil. Once again under her alter ego identity of Diana Prince she works with Major Steve Trevor’s son, Steve Trevor Jr. [LYLE WAGGONER] son in the Inter-Agency Defense Command [IADC] and turns into  Wonder Woman when danger calls. By the beginning of the season, Steve and Diana are assigned to their missions by Joe Atkinson [NORMANN BURTON].    After Mr. Burton left the show by the end of 1977, Steve is promoted as Diana’s boss and she becomes sort of a super-agent going alone on her missions. When needed they’re assisted by the Internal Retrieval Associative Computer (known as IRAC) who’s the only one who knows Diana’s real identity.

	Having been known as "The NEW, Original Wonder Woman" and then just "Wonder Woman" during its curious tenure on ABC-TV the past couple of years, this skein has adopted the handle of "The New Adventures Of Wonder Woman" for its shot on CBS-TV as the Friday at 8 p.m. occupant. In the process of changing networks, the skein also updated its time frame from World War II to the present - and added 30 minutes to its debut show running time to explain its modern-day reincarnation in a special airing Sept. 16.    Lynda Carter still assays the ageless title character, with Lyle Waggoner again aboard as her male foil - this time playing the son of her former companion. WW decided to return to contemporary life as Diana Prince, a prim secretary, when Waggoner was directed to the Amazons' island in the Bermuda Triangle by the evil plans of baddies headed by Fritz Weaver and Jessica Walter. The contemporary setting permitted the introduction of computer, robot and nuclear gimmicks not available in the previous episodes, and the script took good advantage of the new technological geegaws    Nevertheless, "Wonder" remains a comic book concept brought to life, with its target audience still primarily young viewers. Carter earnestly plays the title role as if she fervently believes in the character, which probably is an asset. Waggoner is properly accident prone and the casting was a notch above previous outings, with Weaver, Walter and Beatrice Straight cavorting in supporting roles.    Young viewers should accept the more contemporary accent of the skein and it would appear to have a good chance of giving CBS-TV its test lead-in on Friday that it had had in a number of seasons.
