Did You Know there was an attempt to make a Wonder Woman TV Show in the 90s?


The numerous attempts of a WW series and movie hurts, but this idea hurt worse. There was an idea to bring Wonder Woman back on TV in the 90s.

SuperHeroMultiverse.com has the scoop

Meanwhile, in 1997–1998, a much-publicized plan to return Wonder Woman to live-action for an NBC series was underway. Deborah Joy Levine, who had successfully developed Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, was brought aboard to oversee the series and write the pilot script. Her version found Prince as a UCLA professor of Greek history.
A nationwide casting call began, with applicants encouraged to show up at certain Warner Bros. stores in December 1997 and January 1998 with photos and acting resumes. Although casting eventually narrowed down to a few Hollywood newcomers, development on the series was shut down before any filming began.
This idea sounds broke. I'm glad it failed. These remixes of WW's origin are pissing me off. Just tell her damn story the way it should be told!

OMG, you are correct. "Remix" is the perfect term for the crap they keep attempting.
