Buy Wonder Woman: The Complete Third Season on DVD.
This final season of "Wonder Woman" showed Lynda Carter growing
comfortable with the role of Diana Prince and superhero Wonder Woman,
performing small bits of comedic business here and there as if to amuse
herself. She's positively striking in this role, tall, athletic and
beautiful, even though we know from the recent documentary Double Dare
that she used a stuntwoman. It's still a superb performance, and it
brings a great deal of humanity to an otherwise routine superhero
outing. Lyle Waggoner gamely plays her love interest, Steve Trevor,
though he's constantly overshadowed and outclassed by his stunning
co-star.
DVD Details: Warner Home Video's box set comes with four,
two-sided discs, containing 24 hour-long episodes. Ms. Carter provides a
commentary track for the first episode, and the set includes a new

Carter and several women authors and/or experts. A bonus disc in a
cardboard sleeve contains an episode of "Shazam!" (1974-76).
