UPDATED: My Childhood, Bastardized

I watched the Linda Carter version of Wonder Woman when I was a kid, and have always been amazed that in 30 years no one has been able to figure out how to bring one of the Big Four of the Justice League (Superman, Batman, The Flash and Wonder Woman) to the big or small screen again. If Mulan can pull in $300 million worldwide, for pete's sake you'd think the most famous female comic book character ever could, right?

NBC decided to take the plunge and option a TV pilot of the Amazonian Princess, and they cast an 11-foot-tall girl whose claim to fame was being in a TV remake of that shitty James van der Beek football movie. Never watched the show, so I didn't know her from Eve. NBC saw the pilot and ran as if it were covered in shit and pox-infected sores. Judging by the brief leaked footage, I can't blame them.



I think my two dogs could write better dialogue.

UPDATE: Holy shit, more footage shows this to be even worse than I imagined.
