** Tensions between Creator/LyndaCarter and Lyle Waggoner grew to the point that as the series went on they appeared in fewer and fewer scenes together. So that Waggoner's character would have more activity on the show, producers brought in S. Pearl Sharp to play fellow IADC agent Eve. Waggoner was to be completely written out of the show as in the last episode of the series Diana is relocated to the Los Angeles bureau of IADC. In recent interviews, Lynda Carter has denied any tension existed.

Added DiffLines:

* AbilityOverAppearance: Creator/LyndaCarter was bluer eyed, three inches taller, wider hipped, bustier and less athletically lithe than the Golden Age comic book Wonder Woman she was based on. However, Marston's son thought her attitude and facial expressions were perfect for bringing the character to life. The Golden Age Wonder Woman tended to keep being drawn as she always was in comic books, but the Silver Age, Post Crisis, newspaper comic strip and most other versions of the character were given an extra three or four inches in height and an extra cup size or two. It was to the point people complained when the brown eyed and less endowed Creator/GalGadot was cast to play Wonder Woman, although the producers insisted again that her attitude was perfect for the more martial Wonder Woman she was adapting.

Unintentional Period Piece is a YMMV trope now. Surprised it hasn't been moved to the show's YMMV page already.


* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: TheSeventies era of the series is presented as modern day as opposed to the old days of World War II. So the huge rooms to house one computer, the computer jargon ("Keypunch, you name it"), phone booths, prices, contemporary football players such as Deacon Jones and Roman Gabriel, and even episode names ("Anschluss '77") clearly lock in the actual time.

Added detail on Lawrence Mc Cutcheon


* In a behind-the-scenes incident, Lawrence [=McCutcheon=] refused to let his character be thrown by Wonder Woman in the episode "The Deadly Sting". Creator/LyndaCarter proposed that if she could actually throw him in real life, he would agree to move forward with the script. [[IWasBeatenByAGirl Not only did Carter successfully throw him]], but that first attempt was the shot that was actually used for the episode. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CexNXOcqrsk&t=172 Lawrence can be seen here being forced to take a seat by Carter.]]
