I was excited and have been waiting for the new Wonder Woman to appear on TV, but sadly I hear it will never see the light of day. I really don’t understand why because it is such a wonderful story; I think it should be back on the air. It doesn’t matter who plays Wonder Woman, as long as the show is made that’s all I care about.
Adrianne Palicki was supposed to play Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman and I recall a big stink about her updated costume which people hated. I actually didn’t like the first costume that they showed because it had pants, but I mean seriously, I don’t really care if she wears pants or a bathing suit, as long as the show is on TV. I mean, can’t she have a few different outfits?
Ok so here is a clip from the show we will never get to see:

The thing that most people don’t know about me is that I hold Wonder Woman dear to my heart because she helped me get through the bullying when I was in junior high school in the early 80’s. Here is an excerpt from my book.
“I hated going to school because I had to watch my back every day. I had to keep an eye out from all sides because it could happen again when I least expected it. I stayed out of open spaces and would only walk against the walls. I was always looking back as if I thought I was being followed, which I usually was. I hated being paranoid all the time.
“When I ran home, I was always home in time to watch Wonder Woman. I loved that show because she stood up to the bullies to protect those who were being bullied. I fell in love with the notion of a super hero because I needed one to come and save me. If none could come and save me, then at least I could watch them save others on television every day after school.”
It wasn’t just Wonder Woman, it was Lynda Carter who saved my sanity every day after school. She is such a wonderful person and I will always remember and love her for her role as Wonder Woman for as long as I live.
I was waiting for this show to come back and now I’m afraid I will never see it. This show meant something to me and I had hoped that if it could help me with the bullies, then perhaps it could help someone else who needed it. I would love to appeal to the corporate heads or whoever is in charge of making decisions about what show makes it to air. If this isn’t enough for them to reconsider, then I have no more hope.
