File Under: No Shit, Sherlock

WATCH included a plastic Wonder Woman sword in their "ten worst toys" list this year.  On the basis that it is exactly what it appears to be. 

There are probably plenty of kids out there who shouldn't be given anything plastic and pointy, but I think that under the circumstances this is something that can be left to parents to figure out.

Seems... not quite right somehow

Not so Wonderful...

Alas Poor WW

It seems the pilot for NBC's new Wonder Woman series landed at the feet of test viewers like a large star-spangled turd.  The series appears to have been canceled before it even got a chance to air.

Wonder Woman Costume

...now slightly less terrible. I guess.

Wonder What?

Do you remember back in January when I said it was important that Wonder Woman didn't end up on NBC?

This is why.

It's like Robin's nipple suit all over again.

Wonder Woman Fails to Take Off

Sadly it seems that every TV network turned up their noses at the notion of a new Wonder Woman series. It does make me wonder.  Do the networks suffer from a congenital lack of imagination? Or is David E Kelley's pilot script a total dog?

Because I think a secret agent amazon for the new Millennium would kick serious ass.  But only if they resist "re-imagining" the costume too much. More sleuthing, less romance, ditch the invisible plane, keep the lasso and the star-spangled knickers.

Oh, and keep it off NBC.
