The ratings weren't what ABC wanted, so they passed on pushing the telefilm to series. ABC didn't entirely give up on the idea, however, and aired another made-for-TV movie, THE NEW ORIGINAL WONDER WOMAN, in November 1985, starring Lynda Carter. This second attempt was more successful and ABC decided to go ahead with a series order, which debuted in April 1976. The network ordered an additional eleven episodes which aired through February 1977. The ratings weren't spectacular (finishing at #45 for the 1976-77 season) and ABC cancelled the show after thirteen episodes. Part of the reason for the cancellation was the fact that WONDER WOMAN, period piece set in the 1940s, was too expensive given its only moderate ratings. WONDER WOMAN was picked up by CBS for the 1977-78 season. It was re-titled THE NEW ADVENTURES OF WONDER WOMAN and aired until September 1979. It enjoyed a solid fan base for its two seasons on CBS, but it was cancelled. My grandfather was a big fan of Lynda Carter back in the 1970s. To him, she was better looking than Farrah Fawcett, Catherine Bach, Bo Derek, you name it. Anyone out there a fan of this version of WONDER WOMAN?[ATTACH=full]50737[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
