America's greatest, sexiest comic book heroine-the eternally stunning Amazon Island princess who decided to save the world, WONDER WOMAN, as iconically personified by the attractive and spirited form of once beauty queen Lynda Carter, still "the body" in my book-move over Elle MacPherson!, returns to British TV from today, three times a week (Monday-Wednesday) on the UK's HORROR CHANNEL. Its seventies kitsch at its best and brightest, what with its aliens, monsters, bonkers computers. crazed baddies and beat-up-able baddies who truly underestimate the powers of our patriotic super lady on a weekly basis.
Becoming a true TV sensation of the time- a role model for young girls and women, and admired by red-blooded males- Carter's three-year reign as the TV incarnation of WONDER WOMAN has not been challenged, remaining the ultimate version of the character to audiences around the world. There have been further attempts by film and TV companies to renew her crime-fighting antics, including one failed pilot episode a few years back starring Adrienne Palicki, but Carter's innocent and strong performance, alongside her formidable figure and stunning looks, has proved a tough act to follow. But with box office potential still to be mined, there are Hollywood business hopes, what with the continued re-imagining success of her JUSTICE LEAGUE colleagues Batman and Superman, that DC COMIC's top female icon will eventually return to live-action adventure.
