Wonder Woman-what happened?
The first two sets of Wonder Woman were great. What happened to the third? Have you checked out the Alterations List over on tvshowsondvd.com? My god, there were so many alterations that there was barely room for them all. Did WB rush this set out too quickly? We all complain about sets not coming fast enough, but if this is what we get in return for quick releases, I'd rather wait.

I'm still working my way through season 2, but season 3 is on my shelf and waiting.
It's been so long since I've seen any of these eps, I doubt I would've noticed any alterations if not for the handy resource you've linked. I hate to see that footage is missing, especially the wetsuit shot.

I'm watching Season 3 (watched disc 3 of it last night). These are all very minor cuts (a name not listed in the credits, single shots missing etc). I hadn't seen the show in years, and they don't hurt it.
The biggest change it lists was the Dolphin episode which I watched last night. It says three minutes are cut from it. When I watched it, there is a scene where Diana is captured and there is a freeze frame where I think it went to a commercial originally. But, it then just goes quickly to the next scene. It looks like some of the time lost could be from that edit. (To be honest, more than 3 minutes should have been cut from that episode, as it was one of the weaker ones).
As for the show, of all the shows I've been watching on DVD, it really holds up rather well. Very entertaining and it serves as a sort of time capsule. All the guest stars, the different trends (from UFOs, motorcyling, last night had a skateboarding episode). A lot of fun.

I'm still on the fence about buying these. I remember loving the show as a kid when it would air on Saturday afternoons (back to back with "Bionic Woman" HUZZAH!), but I have a fear that it would be hard to watch now. Knowing that season 3 is tampered with isn't helping. I'm really surprised, Warners is usually so good with this stuff

Well, for under $30, for the full season, it shouldn't be a big decision. The show holds up pretty well. I wasn't all that much of a fan when it aired, but like it a lot more now.
As for Warner's tampering, it you look at the listing, they are all extremely minor things. Nothing to worry about or not buy the set for.
Now where is BIONIC WOMAN?

3 mins. cut from a 47 min. episode isn't minor in my eyes. But I am a huge fan of the series. I'll bet Trekkies would be furious if 3 mins. were cut from a Trek episode.

But, as I stated, it is a terrible episode (obviously inspired by DAY OF THE DOLPHIN). One of the weakest in the series. And, no one has stated what those three minutes involved, if indeed they were cut.
It really is no loss as that is not an episode I would ever watch a second time. |

Russell, I'm doing the same "fence-riding" on WW S2 & 3. I have S1 and liked it, I think mainly due to the WWII setting for S1. I don't remember liking the "modern" S2 & 3 as much but I might get them to complete the series.

I heard, that, Jon  As you can see in my "signature", I'm wanting that series big-time. However, it doesn't look promising for either bionic series DVD release. They are currently tied up in legal/rights issues, which as we all know here sometimes rings the "death toll" for some TV/DVD releases. I hope that Universal is able to resolve the issues to get these 2 released. My opinion is that they'll release them if the cost[s] aren't prohibitive to do so since there are a lot of us (from looking at the voting #'s on TSoD) wanting these series.

It may be a terrible episode to you, but I like it.
