as for the Crosby Wonder Woman pilot – I remember watching that – it was a typical ABC Movie of the Week quality show, but exciting because it was a superhero on TV. I can remember thinking that it was a decent show, and hey, the Six Million Dollar Man had gone from Movies of the Week to a regular show!! I can also remember being surprised when the Lynda Carter version showed up relatively soon after, but oh so very different.

This was back in the days before the Internet and even before wide distribution of fanzines. We were pretty clueless about the workings of the larger media machine until stuff showed up on the TV screen. And this was DC, not Marvel. Stan would have been hyping any possibility of a TV appearance/movie/show for months before it happened. At this particular time, DC often didn’t do any sort of media tie-in until the program was already cancelled!!

Now of course time has moved on and my tastes are more refined. I still hated the first season when I watched it on DVD recently, and have concerns about whether the rest will stand up. Yet really hope I get to see them, though it looks like I’ll have to wait until the new year when I start the new job.

Did anyone else have a similar reaction?
