Wonder Woman TV Series Goofs, Trivia Facts, and Special Effects

[@darkwolf-22]

Thanks to Lynda Carter we didn't notice that many mistakes on Wonder Woman.

[@specterman2000]

Lynda Carter was one of my first crushes😍!!!!

[@cadeevans4623]

Love it gotta love this classic show and it's effects and all and bloopers

[@skatalyst00]

This was before vcr's were affordable so it was a lot easier to get away with these flubs, and some are forgivable since they clearly didn't have a budget for multiple stunt takes. But that one with the picture that's a still of the woman from the next scene, that had me laughing for ten minutes! It's an all time classic, great catch! Last thing, that dirt bike over the van stunt was DANGEROUS. It's amazing the risk that the stunt people take, they s/b celebrated so much more than they ever are...

[@stanzelko5243]

Great video. I wonder how much of the shows appeal has to do with Linda Carters gorgeous looks rather than the shows content.😊

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

Only around 99.9, but the rest was all story and plot. Imagine every episode with nothing changed at all except the lead played by a young Kathy Bates, a contemporary Ruth Buzzy, . It becomes self evident.

[@lindaschulman1789]

Who cares if Lynda Carter carries a dummy? It’s LYNDA CARTER!!

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

Steve Trevor was no dummy, even if Lynda Carter did carry the show.

[@mewregaurdhissyfit7733]

I'm a big ole dummy, and she can carry me ANY day!!!!

Thanks

[@Pratman]

It's so funny when we was kids watching these shows you never noticed the goofs at the time just thought they were amazing when growing up lol 🤣🤣🤣

[@tvcrazyman]

Yeah, there's a lot of goofs I definitely missed back then.

[@xx3868]

Too much wonder woman is barely enough!! She was then and today so gorgeous and the show is just fun like Adam West,s Batman and is pure escapism unlike the heavy dark shows of today. Even "Picard" is so hard going and .....i gave up after the first season and that was a stretch.. Not like the days of colorful lighter TNG..

[@tvcrazyman]

I actually gave up on the first season of Picard as well, but the last one I heard was good so I gave it a shot and it was actually fun to watch for the most part.

[@xx3868]

@@tvcrazyman Many thanks i will look at S3 Picard as i seen how the TNG crew all old come back to the enterprise and its very exciting i hear. Marine Sirtis from TNG was actually in a Minder episode "aces High" in a small role with Anthony Valentine (Colditz) playing a card professional. Great story.

[@tvcrazyman]

I hope you all enjoy this week's video on Wonder Woman goofs, trivia, and special effects. 😀

[@Daveweasel-o1s]

Okay, I'll tell you this, I love your hard work and dedication making these videos. thank you for being awesome.

[@randy3669]

TV crazyman, your collectibles are awesome. Any thoughts of a video or even an additional channel showing off your comic book collection, etc? I'd love to see it.

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

Imagine how different her character would be if she had been named with the synonyms, Philosophy Woman, Imagining Woman, Curious Woman. To each their own, but Philosophy Woman actually still has a lot of potential. Imagine Woman, no way, too provocative. Curious Woman? Tautological.

If you watch the background there apparently wasn't very many cars in DC during the 1970s. I'm a third generation Nova lover, and there was one that seemed to go a lot of the same places as Diana Prince

[@haroldshubert5251]

From the barn the black rag around her eyes maybe was because of the fire so it couldn't shooting her eyes

[@arnbo88]

The Anschluss episode had a sign at the Nazi base "WandschrankgeschloBenzimmer". Although this perplexed me at first as a German speaker; I broke down the compounded word: Wall Cabinet Locked Room = locker room. In modern German it's known as "Waechselzimmer" (change room). The evil Nazis in this episode also drilled the US Army way with American Legion uniforms. Thanks for pointing out the 1970's haircuts. I used to hate this when Hollywood could not get this right.

[@mikegrappone9078]

Well done video. Thanks for creating.

[@pw6115]

Now, I'll have to go rewatch and see if I can spot these and more...I will say that on the Feminum Mystic there's a lot that didn't make sense logically in those episodes, there's also a goof when the Nazis reach Paradise Island

[@colincofield3747]

3:49 the trailer is owned by Steve. In reality Lyle Waggoner did own a fleet of trailers and rented them out to all the Hollywood studios even to the Amazonians.

[@cwill1098]

The opening effects for "Time Bomb" were from the Space:1999 Series One Episode "The Last Enemy". The futuristic city wad from "Journey to Where".

[@starbrand3726]

Well, supposedly whenever Wonder Woman fought another woman, that was her weakness. Yeah, I know, I know.

[@SevenDaysToNoon]

Excellent stuff! Timed to perfection as it’s 8pm in the UK! 👍👍👍 And it’s Wonder Woman tooo! 😍🥵

[@tvcrazyman]

Thank you very much!

[@tideoftime]

3:05 They reused the first transformation again from the first episode, but the second transformation in the second episode was a different approach altogether, though filmed during the same shooting day (hence why both transformations have her missing her bracelets). The two specials were shot in the same production block, as if functionally they were one long episode as it were -- all the office scenes, for instance, for both episodes were shot in the same day/couple of days. 9:00 In context, her spinning and initiating her transformation frees her via the burst of light/thunderclap; the frame-by-frame analysis of course reveals that Lynda, as an actress, is of course not tied that way for the spin, but when viewed at normal speed is intended to show the magic of the transformation itself as freeing her. (Sidenote: though only notable in retrospect, while the burst of light is something that occurs within the world of the show, the thunderclap is actually non-diegetic and only is "audible" to the viewing audience; also, the light burst is supposed to only be visible/perceivable if being directly observed -- if you were facing away from it, it doesn't illuminate anything in-world for you to see/note with any sense of its "light" from behind you -- it's just a magical manifestation, or was intended to be such from a production-as-metaphysical POV.)

[@pablosilva6988]

Linda carter was/is simply stunning.i had a huge crush on wonder woman.

[@xx3868]

Then and today and never tire of looking at her and her righteous portrayal and shows back then were just fun to watch sort of comic level stuff. Todays tv and stories..... sigh. so heavy going.. Even the last TNG movies were a grind and so dark i missed the one where Frakes and Sirtis get married? i must see that some time..

[@fernandowaltersiarez4466]

I don't remember what age I was when saw the first transformation of wonder woman before, but I never forgot that scene

[@bananaramamark]

Yes, it's an optical illusion 14:57. If you look close you can see each separate pillar between the recessed windows. That makes it look like a solid wall from that view point.

[@zardox78]

17:17 I would be pretty surprised if those 2 shots even happened on the same day. Seems more likely that she came to set in "Diana Prince" hair, makeup and (technically) costume on one day, and came to set in "Wonder Woman" hair, makeup and costume on another day. Doesn't seem like the kind of thing they'd try and redo over lunch.

[@ikd3240]

Haha! I always noticed how her heels would suddenly change to flats when she was running. Or how the underwater scenes were always filmed in an obvious swimming pool.

[@TorontoStevie]

In the Starships are Coming, Diana is tied up to the chair, and her ankles are bound. When the guy who rescues her finds her, her ankles are not bound. When he runs to untie her, her ankles are bound again.

[@nickipendelton]

I was a kid back then, and I believed everything I saw. We were so gullible and had no idea. 🤣

[@steveconn1375]

Thank you crazy man for more classics dont recall remembering any story lines watching wonder woman i had my eyes to much on linda carter in her outfit 😅

[@davidmarsden192]

When her heals on her boots disappear, it makes me think she has "Peek-a-Boots" (the heals can instantly retract into the soul of the boot) - something I saw on "Life in Pieces". LOL

[@elijahcity6239]

I absolutely love this kind of stuff... Great video!

[@tvcrazyman]

Thanks

[@mewregaurdhissyfit7733]

Well, apparently Lynda did not want to do the comic book style Wonder Woman, she wanted her Wonder Woman to be fighting the REAL evils of the world. But the producers said no, so they kept to the comic book style of production. Debra Winger said she made a mistake taking that part, as it turned out to be something she hated. They had a very hard time with her Wonder spin, because she couldn't spin. She couldn't rotate herself in a circle at all. And it took many, many takes for them just to get one good shot of her spin, because she just couldn't do it. Many special effects were reused over and over again to save money. And it took around 3 hours for her to physically changed from Diana Prince to Wonder Woman, with the costume, hair, and makeup being switched. Thats why when she spins it can be light out, but when the flash is gone, there's shadows behind her. All the other stuff is pretty much self explanitory, as they really put most of their budget into the action sequences and cut costs on simple scenes. Thanks for this video!!! I love Wonder Woman and Lynda Carter!!!

[@tvcrazyman]

I did wonder if Debra Winger couldn't spin or if she was doing it awkwardly on purpose to fit her younger character because she definitely didn't do it as good as Lynda Carter.

[@mewregaurdhissyfit7733]

@@tvcrazyman Lynda had dance lessons. Debra never had any. Plus, her balance was off, so thats why it was hard for her do so something like that.

[@bryansunga4459]

Hello sir, been seeing your channel before, but I haven't watched any of your videos, but now, after seeing the hulk vid, I started to watch your channel, especially last night. Cheers. How are you doing there? Watching you from Manila. Have you been here?

[@photobygil]

I've seen these episodes dozens of times, but you revealed some hard to spot details that I missed over the years. Good job. During the original broadcasts, the viewer simply didn't register stuff like changes of environment (sunlight position, etc) when Diana transformed into Wonder Woman. But I used to take pictures with a Kodak 126 camera right off the screen back then, & noticed that the costume changes outdoors were clearly shot at different times of the day. The best example of this is in the first Andros episode (Judgement from Outer Space). She spins around behind some trees in what appears to be early morning, but after the flash, the light is dramatically brighter from a different angle, late in the day. That's the sort of fun, inconsequential trivia I enjoy discovering, & why I appreciate this channel as well.

[@tvcrazyman]

Thanks, that reminds me before the VCR I used to tape the sound from cartoon shows on one of those old tape recorders. VCRs became like the best invention in the world to me when they came out.

[@photobygil]

@@tvcrazyman Agreed! Once VCR's became affordable, that is. I recall thinking my best friend's family were lucky (& clearly rich!) because they had the first one on the block, at a time when the home video system was a luxury item for most households. AND I also recorded the audio of favorite tv shows onto ordinary tapes, which is why I to this day know the music inside & out, including from Wonder Woman. Not sure what it says about me, nearly 50 years later, that I still have all those old mono cassette tapes, but they do still play!

[@analogidc1394]

Not only did the dents disappear on the blue car, so did the whitewall tires.

[@glenpolen5562]

HEY, TV CRAZY MAN, This was really good. I like your explanations. I wouldn't know what to look for if you didn't narrate in the video. Looks like a lot of bloopers from the WONDER WOMAN stage and production crew. Lol. I noticed that LYNDA CARTER had knee pads on when she rode the skateboard. I can't remember the episode, but I was watching THE 3 STOOGES 2 nights ago, and it's the 1 episode ( see what I did there - 3,2,1. Lol ), where the boys are plumbers, and there was water coming out of the stove and filling up in the light bulb, 😂😂. I never noticed this before. When Curly built that pipe contraption all around himself and couldn't get out in the upstairs bathroom, he put a hole in the floor to drain the water. He fell thru the floor and landed on Moe in the basement. I guess he may have fallen thru 2 or 3 floors, lol. After a few quick scenes, Curly is back in the upstairs bathroom. I realized then that the huge pipe design that Curly built was gone. Lol. Thanks.

[@tvcrazyman]

Thank you very much.

[@youbetcha6880]

Bloopers aside, I still have a massive crush on Lynda Carter.

[@andybobandy641]

So did Wonder Woman have to do this Spin and costume change to actually BECOME Wonder Woman with all her strength, or was she always Wonder Woman that still have the same strength and powers before she did her costume spin? Hmmmmm.....

[@tvcrazyman]

She didn't have her strength without the magic belt, but now that I think about it, I'm not sure they mentioned that outside the first season. It was my understanding her magic belt enabled her to have the same strength that she possessed on Paradise Island in the rest of the world. The question is where was her magic belt and costume? Was there a pocket dimension where her costume just hung out waiting for her spin? I wonder.

[@maryevelynpace2418]

[@FlintIronstag23]

6:41 It seems that most shows made in the 1970s, but set in earlier times, didn't bother changing the hairstyles to try to match the era they were portraying. I can understand the actors probably didn't want to cut their hair for a role, but they could have at least parted it differently to make it look more vintage. This episode went even further and didn't even try to dress the kids to make it look like they were in the 1940s. Those shirts scream the 70s.

[@tvcrazyman]

Yeah, they really didn't want to cut their hair back then even for parts. Now you have actors that will even gain and lose massive amounts of weight for a role or shave their heads bald.

I was also disappointed to see superheroes who can move worlds get beat up by regular guys.

[@jimmemonkeh7552]

This comment is spot on!! I remember watching these episodes on a 9-inch black and white TV when I was 7 because that was the only way I could watch it. This brings back so many memories that are ingrained in my head, because several of my cousins were visiting and I demanded that we watch this show. My Grandmother and Mom were in the room as all the kids sat around watching the pilot and My Mom would notice these exact same things, but said nothing, because we were just glued to that tiny screen and loving it! But even as a kid, I always noticed that she had something in her hand and that her boots were sometimes flats. When I said something to My Mom, she was said, "Son, as a woman, I would love if my shoes could change when needed. She's 'Magic', stop thinking about it!"

[@1964amora]

How did Drusilla became Wonder girl? did she receive a golden belt and lasso like Diana did?
