One of the most criticized and talked about shows that has yet to even air, has officially been scraped.
NBC has officially announced that they are going to pass on David E. Kelley’s Wonder Woman which was set to star Adrianne Palicki as Diana Prince.
Since it was first announced last year it seems the show has been destined for failure. The script didn’t really make a lot of sense, it tried to turn Wonder Woman into something she isn’t, the costume caused an uprising by fans of the series ( Not to mention it just looked stupid) and if that wasn’t enough, the test audiences were not impressed at all by the very rough cut pilot.
I really was looking forward to Wonder Woman embracing the small screen once again, but with all the issues I had heard about the show, my excitement quickly diminished and I was praying it never saw the light of day.
The real loser in all of this is Palicki. Apparently the test screeners said she did a very good job as Wonder Woman and she really worked, it was just the terrible script and story line that destroyed her chance of playing the Princess of the Amazons.
Hopefully this isn’t the end for Wonder Woman returning to television and a new script is done to revitalize it. With so many issues with a TV series, I think it’s time they start looking at an actual movie instead to bring her back.
