[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 439875, member: 23"] They were very close on episode count as well. And both switched networks during their relatively short run. The [I]WW[/I] season numbering still intrigues me, since [I]The New, Original WW [/I]and the two specials that followed it ([I]Von Gunther/Fausta[/I]) were part of the 1975-76 TV season, with the remaining 11 episodes ordered later and airing during the 1976-77 season. Something similar happened with the last three episodes of the final season, but that's a more obvious case of episodes from the same production season being held back and inexplicably airing months later. It was the same story on British TV, it seems, with [I]BW[/I] even hitting the #1 spot here on one occasion. This was a complete surprise to me when I discovered this in recent years (probably in the [I]BW[/I] thread when I watched that series) as [I]The Bionic Woman[/I] had mostly gone under my radar, whereas[I] Wonder Woman[/I] seemed more universally known (based upon my childhood world of classmates, neighbours and family, at least).
