When Xena And Wonder Woman Meet Geeks Go Wild

From E! Online

What happens when Xena meets Wonder Woman? Dreams come true, that is what happens. Seriously, dreams. Lucy Lawless and Lynda Carter together to make geeks everywhere (including me!) lose their minds.

Lawless, who is in New York City promoting WGN America's Salem, posed with Carter, TV's Wonder Woman who is in New York promoting her concert at Jazz at Lincoln Center, and let's just come out and say it: This photo is everything. Everythinggggg. Just like all the world has been waiting for Wonder Woman (according to her theme song), the world has been waiting for this photo.

Lawless played the title role in Xena: Warrior Princess for six seasons from 1995-2001. Carter was the Amazon princess in Wonder Woman from 1975-1979. The TV heroes had—and still have legions of fans and of course received quite a few comparisons.

Wonder Woman '77: An Interview with Writer Marc Andreyko

From DC Comics

For a certain generation of fans, actress Lynda Carter is Wonder Woman. For them, it’s impossible to think of the Amazonian Princess without thinking of her disco theme song, flashy spins, or most importantly the striking actress who embodied her on the ‘70s-era Wonder Woman TV show. Nearly four decades have passed since that show hit the air, but much like the Adam West Batman TV series before it, the classic Wonder Woman is back—as a brand new, digital first comic series.

Written by Marc Andreyko, WONDER WOMAN ’77 debuts digitally today with a disco-driven adventure that serves up polyester and punches in equal measure and that boasts impressive likenesses of the shows two leads (Carter and actor Lyle Waggoner, who played Steve Trevor) by artist Drew Johnson. Embracing its ‘70s setting wholeheartedly, it promises to be a distinctly lighter take on Diana that should be a welcome return for viewers who grew up with the TV series and a fun surprise to fans who haven’t ever seen it.

To learn more about this brand new comic book, and to get a better understanding of the importance of the show, we sat down with Andreyko to discuss Carter, embracing the 1970s and why the Wonder Woman theme song should be our national anthem.

For fans who haven’t ever seen the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman TV show, how would you describe the show and your comic?

Wonder Woman ’77 follows the adventures of Princess Diana, the Amazon super hero known as Wonder Woman, who in her civilian identity is Agent Diana Prince who works for the government. Basically, it’s your typical, “I’ve got my secret identity. I’ve got my super hero life. I’m juggling those while fighting crime!”

Wonder Woman Don't Need No Stunt Woman!

In the episode "Anschluss 77" (episode 2.2) the script called for Wonder Woman to grab on to a bar under a helicopter and hold on to it as the helicopter lifted 50 feet into the air. Actress Lynda Carter's stunt double shot the scene but as the camera was so close to the stand-in it became obvious that it wasn't Lynda. As the production crew was beginning to lose their lighting, Lynda felt she could perform the stunt on her own and told her stunt double to let her go instead. She filmed the scene herself, which angered the unaware producers of the series as Carter not only didn't inform anyone ahead of time, but did not use protective wrist guards what could have held her to the helicopter should she not have the strength to hold on.

When the son of Wonder Woman stunt double Jeannie Epper told his classmates that his mother performed on the Wonder Woman television series they did not believe him, even after showing them a photo of his mother in costume. When series star Lynda Carter was told of the situation, she took it upon herself to invite his entire class to visit the Wonder Woman set to see Jeannie perform.

The Monstrous Movie Photo Of The Day: "What's With The Funny Face Diana Prince?"

Written By: Ken Hulsey

"... or should I say Wonder Woman?"

Sometimes on set photographers catch actors in some rather candid moments between shots. With unlimited access these studio shutter-bugs were on hand to capture everything from the makeup room to the powder room. Many of these photos were used for publicity purposes while yet others were filed away rarely to be seen by the general public.

Today we have one such image of actress Lynda Carter on the set of the TV series "Wonder Woman". It is quite obvious the the actress has become bored with being chained to a wall.

A candid moment from one of televisions true beauties!

Anna Friel Has Her Eyes On Wonder Woman

Written By: Ken Hulsey
Source: WENN

Exotic actress Anna Friel, who was the only thing worth looking at in "Land of the Lost", is setting her sights on portraying "Wonder Woman" on the big screen. Joss Whedon's big screen remake of the popular TV series that starred Lynda Carter as the crime fighting Amazon princess, has been an on-again-off-again affair, which reportedly is back on again.

Friel can add her name to a long list of "Wonder Woman" wannabees, including Megan Fox, Eliza Dushku and singer Beyonce Knowles. Back when the film was first announced back in 2007 Jessica Biel and Katie Holmes were considered the favorites for the part. Holmes even went as far as to have a private audition for the coveted role, but nothing ever came from it.

Friel told People magazine at the premiere for "Land of the Lost" that the part would fulfill her childhood fantasies,"Everyone wanted to be Wonder Woman. I had Wonder Woman pyjamas."

"Wonder Woman" sleepwear or not, it is Dushku that has the endorsement of the woman who made the role famous, Lynda Carter, the actress recently commented on the potential casting stating, "Eliza would make a great Wonder Woman."

When the former "Wonder Woman" is in your corner you can bank on the film makers taking notice.

Wonder Woman (1976 - 1979)(ABC / CBS)

Written By: Ken Hulsey

Lynda Carter will be forever remembered for her four years on American prime time television as Amazonian goddess turned defender of freedom known as “Wonder Woman”. The half Native American/Hispanic actress with her tall buxom frame would be the perfect fit to play the character that first appeared in DC comics in the 1940s’. It would have stood to figure that the presence of the former Miss World-USA 1973, Carter, herself would have equaled television gold. Several factors including a network change and a change in local, time, and philosophy ultimately would work against the series. Oddly enough it was a mid-season replacement on rival NBC called “Diff’rent Strokes, which starred Gary Coleman, that forced the shows network, CBS, to rethink and re-shuffle their schedule. Wonder Woman and its star Lynda Carter ended being the odd ones out. Although the network had plans to bring the show back, Carter soon would star in a very popular Las Vegas club act and record her first album. Great reviews turned the stars attention away from acting and towards a singing career that unfortunately never reached the popularity it had initially promised. Regardless the show was left for dead.

The show took several strange turns before it became the cult classic we all remember. During the height of the “Batman Craze” in the late 1960s’ the shows producer, Bill Dozier had plans to produce a Wonder Woman series that would have been more comedy than action. Later in 1974 producer John G. Stephens would produce a 90-minute TV movie simply titled “Wonder Woman”. The movie which starred the blond former tennis sensation, Cathy Lee Crosby, Ricardo Montalban and Kaz Garas bombed miserably. Before Carter was chosen to play a more traditional version of the character, Linda Harrison (Nova in Planet of the Apes) was used for several test shots and was strongly considered. The pilot which starred Lynda Carter called “The New Original Wonder Woman” aired in November 1975 and gained high ratings and critical praise. This still did not land the show a slot in the ABC schedule, instead two one-hour specials were ordered by the network. These too earned high ratings, yet ABC was still unwilling to make a commitment on the shows future. During the 1976-1977 season Wonder Woman was considered a replacement alternative if any of the regular slated shows failed. As a matter of chance several of these shows did indeed fail and the show found the opening it needed. Eleven one-hour shows were immediately put into production and Wonder Woman would bail ABC out of jam due to lack of quality programming.

Set in World War II era Washington DC, the series would showcase Wonder Woman as the nations champion of freedom against the evils of Nazi Germany. Disguised as Military Intelligence secretary Diana Prince, who did a perfect Clark Kent impression glasses and all, Wonder Woman would always be one step ahead of the bad guys, ready to spin into her costume and bail Major Steve Trevor (Lyle Waggoner) out of any sticky situation he got himself into. A young Debra Winger would play the buxom Wonder Girl who also managed to show up just in time to lend a hand to the defenders of freedom. The show featured just the right amount of camp and action to strike a chord with audiences and grab decent ratings.

Imagine the surprise of the fans when they found out that the show had unexpectedly switched networks to CBS for the 1977-78 season. A change of network however wasn’t the only change that was made to the series. The shows storyline had jumped ahead thirty years and the young Wonder Girl and the Nazis were nowhere to be found. The only hold over from the ABC series was Lyle Wagner, who was still cast as Steve Trevor. Modern locals, teen heartthrobs, and sci fi based episodes failed to capture the charm that the original series had. It should be noted however that the network did take steps to correct the series flaws towards to end of season two and the episodes in the third season were arguably the best of the entire run. The damage, however, had already been done and most of the initial audience had been lost by this point. Wonder Woman would end up in ratings limbo and eventually slide out of CBS’s prime time lineup.

Robo Japan Is Now On Youtube!

Many of you may have noticed that the video clips that were once listed here on Robo Japan have vanished. Well, when I decided to let my site, kensforce.com, go the way of the Dodo, I lost a place to house both photos and videos. Recently I discovered a file in my old Sitebuilder program that had archived all of the pics and vids that I had thought were gone for good. Needing a place to house all these gems, I turned to Youtube to host all this stuff. I spent many hours this past weekend uploading videos from my archives and I got about 25 up on the site. There are still a lot that I will be adding as time allows. I hope everyone enjoys these!

The first clip is the opening credits from the television series "Wonder Woman" starring Lynda Carter. The quality on this one isn't very good, but it was the first file in my archive, so I went with it.

I also want to invite independent filmmakers and publicity contacts to submit trailers and clips for their projects for our new Youtube Channel. If you have a video that you want added please e-mail me at: kensforce@yahoo.com.

Wonder Woman - Photo Gallery

Written By: Ken Hulsey Sources: Warner Bros / Fans Many of you probably came to this location expecting to find my original article on the Wonder Woman television series. Well, that article as been updated and moved - HERE. In the place of the old article, I decided to post many of the photos that I had on file that I didn't have enough space to fit in. Most of these images were sent to me by Warner Bros to promote the release of Wonder Woman on DVD back in 2006. Photos #5 and #6, however, were supplied to me by a fan who took them when they were filming the series on location in Los Angeles back in the 70s. Many of these photos are rare items, so I thought fans of Wonder Woman would enjoy seeing these.
