Wonder Woman – Season 1, Episode 5: “The Feminum Mystique)”
SQUEE! It’s time to recap the best Wonder Woman episode of the first season … and the TV introduction of one of my fave heroines ever, Wonder Girl! I came a little late to Wonder Girl. I was devouring Justice League of America comics and never knew about the Teen Titans until a back-up story […]
Wonder Woman – Season 1. Episode 4: “Beauty On Parade”
Whoo-hoo! This one is … well, perhaps “Sexism On Parade” would be a better title. It’s as if someone from the network went in to the writer’s room and said, “What’s better than a star-spangled bathing suit? A whole bunch of 70s-style bathing suits pretending to be 1940s-appropriate!” Buckle up those invisible seatbelts — here […]
Wonder Woman – Season One, Episode 3: “Fausta, The Wonder Woman”

Wonder Woman – Season 1, Episode 2: “Wonder Woman Meets Baroness von Gunther”
Oh, my! The first regular episode of Wonder Woman is a … bit of a letdown. With the new Not-General Blankenship, the completely unheralded introduction of Etta Candy and the strangest fight scene ever filmed while rolling down a hill, it would have been better if Diana had NEVER met Baroness von Gunther. We start […]
Wonder Woman – Season 1, Episode 1: “Pilot”
“In your satin tights/fighting for your rights and the old red white and blue …” Not that I wasn’t already glued to the TV screen when Wonder Woman debuted in 1975, but the theme song nailed me firmly in place there for the next three years. I’d cut my super hero teeth on Shazam and […]
Five Things I Love That I Need To Break Up WIth
In trying to make life simpler, more zen and spacious, I am trying to do away with clutter both internal and external. Sure, it wasn’t easy to let go of my entire run of 1990s Wonder Woman issues (I seriously don’t know how they thought that bicycle-pants/leather jacket look was going to stand the test of time), […]
