Wonder Woman to Return to TV!

Hey Everyone,

So it has just been announced as of of yesterday.  That Wonder Woman is coming back to TV.  And it is being brought back by big name producer in the field of TV, David E. Kelly.  Kelly's most popular projects have been Boston Legal, The Practice and Ally McBeal.  He has been successful with shows that deal with court room banter, but can he take on a show that deals with a superhero?  I'm not sure about everyone else, but I have faith  in the producer.

A Wonder Woman movie revival has been attempted several times in the past several years, and they all ended in disappointment.  But could a television series be the answer?  We've seen through Smallville, that taking it to the small screen can be a great move.  Smallville will be ending next year with nine seasons under it's belt, which is what some shows dream of doing.  And during the nine seasons a superman movie was released and become a hit.  So this may be the perfect revival for the long awaited greek hero's return.

The original Wonder Woman series with Lynda Carter that ABC ran for three season's, which isn't exactly long in today's era of TV.  But the show was still was a major hit for the network and Lynda Carter.  And with Kelly's past with ABC it looks though it may be the Disney owned stations hands.

And with the end of Smallville in sight, the prospects for this project are even better.  Having no heroic style shows to compete with.  Although, there has been talk amongst the Smallville writer's of a Martian Man Hunter TV series, after the character was revived on Smallville.  So the CW may still be in the superhero game for a long since it has proven greatly for them.  And since they have The Vampire Diaries, they own a major stake in TV, giving them a load of followers with the newly fired up vampire following.

So we will see very soon how this will all play out.  And I'm excited to see who will play the leading female role!

Catch you all later!
