Why It's Awesome

 * 1) Lynda Carter portrays Wonder Woman and happens to be a very iconic Wonder Woman. She's in the top three best alongside Gal Gadot and Susan Eisenberg.
 * 2) The theme song is heartily memorable and sparky.
 * 3) Wonder Woman's themes and lessons of sisterhood and forgiveness have aged well and even if you don't agree you can still enjoy her defeating the antagonists.
 * 4) The twists and turns are done very well and each new villain gives Wonder Woman a new problem to save Steve and or herself from.
 * 5) The acting is very amazing, especially from Lynda Carter and Lyle Waggoner.
 * 6) The first season does a good job at showing how bad Nazis were and each season does a good job at showing the bad as well as the good in the world.
 * 7) The fighting is very good and though many modern shows have better fighting, the fighting in the show is still spectacular for it's time.
 * 8) Wonder Woman, Diana Prince, herself is not incredibly biased and likes Steve and other men she's met, meaning she doesn't think women are better than men and she treats them all equally.
 * 9) Along the way Diana and Steve both learn new and valuable things and it is apparent per episode.
 * 10) The plots for each episode are good, take their time, and make sense.
 * 11) The shots and filming are great, each cut feels matured.
 * 12) The show has great use of expectation subversion.
 * 13) Steve Trevor, the male lead, is not an entirely sexist man and respects Diana/Wonder Woman and he stands as a good supporting character or motivation for Wonder Woman.
 * 14) Though it is a show that is about a remarkable woman and gave many girls at the time of airing as well as today many fond memories, anyone has the potential to enjoy the show.
 * 15) Many other characters that aren't Diana or Steve, can be very helpful and kind, relatable even. While at the time this show aired (1970s) or when season one took place (1940s), most people weren't the most understanding of women and stereotypes ran rampant in many people's brains, but the show has a good mix of characters that aren't like that, such as Tommy (Christian Juttner) or General Phil Blankenship (Richard Eastham), and it still remains realistic because the characters like Blankenship can be perceived as sexist at times but for the most part aren't, which can make the show easier to watch. The usually sexist characters happen to be antagonists to Wonder Woman, so when Wonder Woman does beat them it can feel more satisfying.
 * 16) The show also has a good mix of other strong women, both good and bad, like Diana's mother (good) or Fausta (bad).
 * 17) The special effects are very good for the era it was made in.
