The show stars Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman/DianaPrince and Lyle Waggoner as Steve Trevor Sr. & Jr. It aired for three seasons, from 1976 to 1979. The show's first season aired on ABC and is set in the 1940s, during World War II. The second and third seasons aired on CBS and are set in the then-current daylate 1970s, with the title changed to The New Adventures of Wonder Woman. Waggoner's character was changed to Steve Trevor Jr., the son of his character from season one.
This portrayal of the character strongly influenced the Wonder Woman comics. Most notably, the ballerina-style spinning transformation, which was Carter's idea, was incorporated into the comics. The spin has also been used in the animatedtelevision programs Super Friends and Justice League Unlimited.
