Having rewatched the commentary for The New, Original Wonder Woman after Season One, last night I dived into Lynda Carter's audio commentary for My Teenage Idol Is Missing and the three featurettes - one per season. Carter's enthusiasm for the series shines through. While clearly not a hardcore comic book fan it's easy to see that she's explored the character a little beyond the TV show and mostly understands what makes her tick. I'd forgotten pretty much everything that was in these bonus features and found it interesting to find that Carter missed some of the more traditional elements of the comic - such as the Amazons - as the series evolved. I did remember that she preferred the series when it updated to the Seventies and that she disliked the invisible aeroplane. Carter did lose me with her take on feminism. She's many things, but - despite her claims - she doesn't appear to be a feminist. In a few of the features she mentioned feeling sad because Wonder Woman hasn't had the joy of becoming a mother (and, by implication, a wife). Still, you can't be all things to all people and overall it's good to see Carter giving input on what the Wonder Woman legend has come to mean to her. She spoke mostly in glowing terms about everyone she'd worked with - including Lyle Waggoner and Debra Winger, though in the commentary she did mention Winger's later complaints about working on the show (she put it down to Winger not being comfortable with the TV medium). Regarding Lyle, she actually mentioned that her one regret about working on the show was that she didn't get to spend much time with him, which seemed both sweet and surprising. Nice to see comic book staff associated with Wonder Woman talking about their passion not just for the character but for the Lynda Carter version. Phil Jimenez's geeking out over the series was particularly adorable.</blockquote>
