If you’re old enough to remember the 1970s, Lynda Carter playing the title character in the TV show Wonder Woman from 1975 to 1979 remains what you think of when you hear the name of the heroine Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman is an American live-action TV series that originally aired from 1975 to 1979, based on the comic book superhero Wonder Woman. It starred Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman and Lyle Waggoner as Steve Trevor. While often regarded as campy and cheesy in hindsight, it's still somewhat of a Cult Classic.
The movie-length pilot episode and first season aired on ABC, and were set during World War II.
From the second season, the series moved to CBS, was retitled The New Adventures of Wonder Woman, and the setting moved to the present day (ie. The '70s). Wonder Woman, being an ageless Amazon, hadn't aged a day, while Lyle Waggoner switched to playing the remarkably familiar-looking Steve Trevor Jr.
