Wonder Woman is back with one last season of adventures saving the world from the forces of evil. These 24 episodes pick up where season 2 left off with Diana Prince as a field agent for the IADC. She's confident, capable, and always gets her man. Of course, it helps that she has a secret identity as Wonder Woman.
This season leaves behind Diana's origins on Paradise Island instead just dealing with the villain of the week. It often enters science fiction territory with stories about aliens or living brains. But there are also the episodes that deal strictly with international intrigue like "Hot Wheels" or "Stolen Faces." And I must mention a personal favorite, "Amazon Hot Wax." As a cross promotion for her recent record, Lynda Carter gets to sing two songs in this fun episode.
The show winds down with Diana moving to California and the IADC branch there. While presented in their original broadcast order, I'm guessing that "The Man Who Could Not Die" was intended to air last since it introduces us to the characters I'm sure would have been regulars had the series continued. "Phantom of the Roller Coaster," meanwhile, finds Diana back in DC with no explanation of why she's there. Of course, that episode is fun for me since "Fun Universe" is really an amusement part I've been to many times here in town.
Once again, we have a great set for fans. The 24 episodes collected on four double-sided discs in full frame and stereo sound. We are treated to a commentary from Lynda Carter on the first episode in the set, "My Teenage Idol is Missing," which is worth a listen although it doesn't need your undivided attention. Also included is a 13-minute documentary on Wonder Woman as a feminist icon, a topic I had never really even thought about before.
Yes, the fashions still seem laughable today. And there definitely are some over the top episodes ("Formicida" springs to mind), but these are kept to a minimum this time around. Ultimately, fans of the show will enjoy watching these episodes again and those without fond memories will probably best look elsewhere.

As another reviewer notes this season really went beyond ludicrous with some of the plots and the identity of Wonder Woman's alter ego should have been so obvious, maybe that is why Lyle Waggoner's character faded more and more as the season progressed. That said Lynda Carter still looked fantastic (and even curvier still?) and gave the part(s) her all. It seems such a shame that the show was cancelled (apparently simply due to CBS wanting to try other shows in the slot formerly used for Wonder Woman) even if the plots were pushing the level of camp and believability to the limits and beyond! The final single episode (prior to the two part Phantom Of The Roller Coaster) seemed to indicate a possible new direction should Season 4 ever happen as Diana moved to LA from the "native" Washington DC. I wonder (pardon the pun) whether this was what the writers were considering for the show's future and would the part of Steve Trevor disappear along with the amazing computer Ira? So many questions went un-answered as Wonder Woman abruptly disappeared and it is only recently that the idea of re-doing the theme of Wonder Woman as a film has been addressed. I would be interested to see the movie but no matter which stunning actress they find to play the part I don't think I will ever be able to see anyone in that sexy outfit other than Lynda Carter. She appeared in the first of the new Dukes Of Hazzard movies and still looked fabulous and I would be willing to bet she would still fill that costume perfectly even 30 years after the show was cancelled. Lynda Carter was, is and always will be Wonder Woman and it really is such a shame that we only ever got three seasons - Lynda you were the best!

Series 3 is set in the modern day...well the 70s...watch out for those Flares! LOL
These discs are different to series one in that they come in one standard sized DVD case which houses several discs...these discs however are double sided, so a lot of care must be taken not to mark or scratch them, much more than normal discs. That said it does cut down on the size of the box.
The standard dvd case fits inside an outer box, so it is still a "boxed" set.

Less Than Wonderful Final Season
Season 3 represents the final and most lackluster season of the 'Wonder Woman' TV series. There were a lot of very notable changes both on-screen and off. Read more
