Wonder Woman

In a sunny blend of myth and wartime intrigue, Wonder Woman teams mythic power with 1940s espionage. The Amazon princess travels to America undercover as Diana Prince, a secretary to the good hearted but clumsy Major Steve Trevor. When danger erupts, she slips into her heroic persona, strapped into the golden belt that grants superhuman strength, the bracelets that deflect bullets, and the golden lasso that compels truth. She flies a shimmering invisible aircraft and navigates a world full of wartime spies, gangsters, and schemes. All the while she must keep her true identity secret while fighting evil. Her code of honor and courage guides her through moral tests where trust and deception collide.

Created by Stanley Ralph Ross and drawing on William Moulton Marston's comic legacy, the series debuted in 1975 on ABC. Lynda Carter stars as Wonder Woman, with Lyle Waggoner as Steve Trevor, pairing mythic power with period adventure.

The show helped cement the image of a confident female superhero on prime time and left a lasting mark on pop culture. Its bold visual style and the star's charisma helped spark a wave of female led action heroes on TV. Lynda Carter's performance became an iconic touchstone, influencing later generations of women in action roles and shifting audience expectations for televised heroism.

Critically it offered campy thrills with a wink of social commentary. The series blends pulp adventure with themes of courage, justice, and secrecy, while exploring wartime duty through a modern mythic lens. It earned a dedicated audience and a steady cultural footprint that resonated with viewers.
