    The Lumberjack? Doesn't seem that difficult.....

    Wonder Woman was HUGE in the 80's. It's a lot easier to make the first real Supergirl show than the first NEW Wonder Woman show. Much different expectations.

      Are you talking about the live action 70's TV series? Wasn't a huge ratings hit.

        It wasn't a huge ratings hit (in fact after the first season they changed the setting from WWII to the present day to help "freshen" the show up) but it has gained a cult following to the point that that's what Lynda Carter is remembered for. I have memories of watching that show in reruns in the early '80s.

        I didn't know it at the time but I sure was ogling Ms. Carter quite a bit I haven't actually watched the show in some time. Maybe I should try and watch it again to see if it holds up at all.

          Yeah, JayBee you may be right but my memory of it is from the 80's and it was definitely big then. As SPTO said, most know Lynda Carter bc of the show. I'd also go as far as saying that back then an invisible plane, truth whip and bullet proof bracelets were plenty to keep us engaged... a little hard to translate to today. The super strength and ability to fly (I hope that goes away in the upcoming movie(s) bc it doesn't make much sense or make much need for the invisible plane) has helped make her powers more interesting, but a supergirl is still just an easier sell for a creative director at this point imo.

            I'm also talking about how the WW pilot was made and not released. It wasn't that bad.

              Ahh, I didn't know there was a pilot for a new WW out there.

                I'm sure there's a full episode floating around somewhere out there.

                  Thanks.

                  I would've given it a shot just because, but it looked like a pretty strict remake of the old show, all the way down to the music. If that was their angle, I could see why it didn't work. Things just aren't as impressive today (or even in 2011) as they were in the 70's and 80's. Of course that was just a clip so who knows. I wouldn't have expected much from the Flash if I just saw a clip of that either, and that show's pretty good.

                        Elizabeth Hurley and Adrianne Palicki running around in Wonder Woman tights? Damn. What a missed opportunity.

                          I think the music was dubbed in. The actual pilot wasn't bad, and there was a conversation part way through that was pretty eyebrow raising. Hunt around for it.

                                If I'm not mistaken, I went to see the 80's Supergirl movie with my grandparents. I'm pretty sure I liked it, as I liked anything that was related to Superman.
