Wonder Woman introduced Lynda Carter as the comic-book heroine. This live-action series ran for three years, and changed from Season 1 to Season 2, when the show switched networks, and was brought to current day, instead of WWII.
Here is the cast (and the description we used in the episode):
Wonder Woman
(Lynda Carter)
Carter was just 23 years old at the time she was cast for the role. Though she had done almost no acting she was working professionally as a singer, and had done very well competing in beauty pageants. She won the title of Miss World USA 1972.
Major Steve Trevor (season 1)
Steve Trevor Jr (seasons 2 & 3)
(Lyle Waggoner)
In Stanley Ralph Ross’s casting notes on Steve Trevor he wrote: “Get a Lyle Waggoner type.” Douglas Cramer did him one better by getting the actual Lyle Waggoner. Waggoner had been a regular on The Carol Burnett Show. He did a screen test for the 1966 Batman series. He was the first nude centerfold for Playgirl magazine in 1973. He was also elected the mayor of Encino, California in 1976. Waggoner had many guest appearances on television shows such as Fantasy Island, Love Boat, Charlie’s Angels, Happy Days, and Mork & Mindy.
Queen Hippolyta
(Cloris Leachman in the original pilot)
(Carolyn Jones in 3 episodes)
(Beatrice Straight in 2 episodes)
Straight was a Tony and Oscar award-winning actress who played one of the ghostbusters in the original Poltergeist.
General Blankenship
(John Randolph in The New Original Wonder Woman pilot)
(Richard Eastham throughout season 1)
Etta Candy, General Blankenship’s secretary
(Beatrice Colen)
Beatrice Colen had formerly been on Happy Days as one of the carhops at Arnold’s.
The TV Series had a stellar list of Guest Stars, including:
Red Buttons, Stella Stevens, POTA alum Roddy McDowall, Eric Braedon and Severn Darden. Debra Winger, John Saxon, John Hillerman, Robert Reed, Eve Plumb, and Tiger the Dog of the Brady Bunch, Roy Rogers, Wolfman Jack, Lance Kerwin, Bubba Smith, Rick Springfield, Leif Garrett, Craig T Nelson, Gary Burghoff, Frank Gorshin, René Auberjonois, and Robby the Robot!
Troy and David present their, "How it all ends", by coming up with an ending to the show, as if the show, like MASH, knew it was ending, and had time to be able to end it properly, wrap everything (or most things) up.

Description

Two Old Farts Talk Sci-Fi will bring you back to when you first fell in love with the speculative genre, which includes science fiction, fantasy, and horror, their mashups and subgenres, whether that be the written word or movies, TV, theatre, comic books and graphic novels. Whatever the format, if it can’t happen in real life, it may be brought up.

What is it that first brought you to love the things that could not happen?
---
What is it about the speculative genre that keeps you reading and watching?

Listen to Troy and David reminisce mostly about the ’60s and ’70s, and ’80s, but don’t be surprised if Metropolis or the 1933 King Kong movie is referenced, R.U.R., and stuff after the ’80s up to yesterday. And what is happening now. And what may happen in the future. Most episodes will be themed (for example: Universal Classic Monsters; Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes; Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of his Work, Life, and Influences (the new book by Bev Vincent); the 1968 Planet of the Apes film; Shakespeare in Star Trek; to name a few). There will be occasional special guests who are experts in the topic being discussed.
