Let us know what you think was the worst part in the comments. The pilot, which starred Jeffrey Hunter, was considered by NBC as part of its 1966-1967 season, but a series never materialized. However in Dozier’s pilot, instead of seeing Wonder Woman in action, we see her vainly looking in the mirror and being nagged by her mother about getting married.įrom terrible storylines and characters, to cheesy wardrobe and narration, it’s no surprise that this pilot never got picked up.

Ellie Wood Walker’s tiara looks like a cloth rag.īut perhaps the biggest mistake in the pilot was the lack of action. An unrelated failed Pilot Movie was broadcast about a year earlier, in 1974, starring Cathy Lee Crosby as a non-powered Wonder Woman in a very loose. And one of Wonder Woman’s staple elements from her outfit, her tiara, isn’t even metal. Ellie Wood Walker’s Wonder Woman outfit couldn’t possibly be more frumpy and unflattering. His trademark campy voiceover narration that made phrases like “ same bat-time, same bat-channel” entries in the Urban Dictionary, is also featured in the Wonder Woman pilot.Īpparently Dozier also used the same terrible wardrobe department as his Batman series.

There are many good reasons the pilot didnt sell - most of which devolved. In addition to being the executive producer, Dozier was also the narrator from the Batman TV series. Experience the first scene and opening titles to the WONDER WOMAN 1974 TV pilot.

While Dozier’s version of Batman (1966-68, ABC-TV) with Adam West and Burt Ward was in its peak, he attempted to make a Wonder Woman spin-off starring actress Ellie Wood Walker.Īfter watching the Wonder Woman pilot, one of the first things you might recognize is the narrator’s voice. The 1975-79 live-action Wonder Woman TV show starring Lynda Carter wasn’t the first effort to bring Diana of Themyscira to television. What if William Dozier, the executive producer of the campy 1960s Batman TV show, had created something similar for Wonder Woman? Sound like a terrible idea? The scary thing is… it almost happened. It's for this reason the pilot has the clunky title of The New Original Wonder Woman.In 1974, ABC produced and aired a Wonder Woman TV movie that starred tennis-pro-turned-actress Cathy Lee Crosby.
