Wonder Woman moved from ABC to CBS in 1977 and they updated her from WW2 to modern times. The first episode was a movie that introduced her to the world of 1977 as she fought an evil scientist played by Fritz Weaver. This set the tone for the second year run. All of the episodes are good and you can tell they had a very low budget. The production staff used imagination and creativity to overcome the lack of money and the second season is a very enjoyable one.
The episodes are as follows....
