Holy Geeky Documentary Batman! PBS’ Pioneers of Television Takes on Superheroes. [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:30 am, February 3rd, 2013

Watch Superheroes on PBS. See more from Pioneers of Television.

I’m a low-level documentary-a-holic (shut up, it’s a thing), and when the documentaries are geeky it’s even better. And yeah, this episode of PBS’s Pioneers of Television, about the superhero shows of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, is narrated by Ryan Seacrest. But I can let that slide if I’m watching Lynda Carter, Julie Newmar, Adam West, Burt Ward, Lou Ferrigno and more talk about the history of superheroes on TV for an hour.

The South by Southwest festival — better known as SXSW — is quickly approaching, and just one movie being shown at the Austin, Texas gathering of talented and creative types is the documentary Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines, about female superheroes and how much they’ve been overlooked.

You’ll want to see the trailer, and good news! It’s after the jump, plus more excited news about the film.

Don’t Argue with Lynda Carter About Wonder Woman, Even If She’s Actually Catherine O’Hara

by Susana Polo | 1:18 pm, October 10th, 2011

Due to age differences, the staff of the Mary Sue is divided on whether Catherine O’Hara is most accurately described as “the mom from Home Alone” or “the lady in all the Christopher Guest movies” or “Character Actress Godess.” You’ll have to decide for yourself.

Lynda Carter, as you might know, was notoriously careful about getting typecast as Wonder Woman in her early career, not to mention a little uncomfortable with some of the attention she got for the role. She declined to appear in costume for her guest stint on The Muppet Show (only two episodes after Mark Hamill had guest starred as himself and Luke Skywalker, with C-3PO, R2-D2 and Chewbacca), but that was okay, because we got Miss Piggy as Wonder Woman instead.

Lynda Carter Might Be In The Wonder Woman Show

by Susana Polo | 1:57 pm, April 20th, 2011

For many people Lynda Carter is the definitive Wonder Woman, for her starring role in the 1975-79 television series. And though she hasn’t had many other screen credits, she’s still a lady with great class, and has never forgotten that Wonder Woman put her on the map.

Fans of Carter should be excited to know that she’s been talking to David E. Kelly, writer and director behind the new Wonder Woman show as well. From Monsters and Critics:

The 59-year-old actress revealed she had been in talks with writer David E. Kelley but refused to confirm whether she would have a role.

‘I’ve talked to David E. Kelley, who’s a brilliant writer, a number of times and we’re hoping to plan something,’ she said. ‘But I cannot reveal.’
