David E. Kelley’s Wonder Woman TV Show is Probably Dead



On second thought, maybe giving a comic book property to the same guy who only knows how to write about quirky lawyers doing quirky and eccentric things, the type of things that would get them kicked out of the profession if they tried it in real life, was not such a good idea. Either that, or as this Deadline article suggest, there were a lot of network politics at play. Regardless, your chance to see what a “Wonder Woman” TV show as created by the guy who did “Ally McBeal” and the gazillion other lawyer shows formerly and currently on TV would look like seems to be kaput.



Regardless of why, it doesn’t look like there are any takers for a “Wonder Woman” TV show by Kelley.

Don’t fret, though, fans of superheroes on TV. Marvel’s got plenty going on, including a new take on “The Hulk” and a new series starring a female superhero of their own called “AKA Jessica Jones” from “Twilight” writer Melissa Rosenberg.

David E. Kelley’s Wonder Woman TV Show is Dead? Again?



Man, being queen of the Amazons just isn’t what it used to be. After getting dropped before it even got started, then resurrected weeks later, David E. Kelley’s much talked about (in equal parts negatively and positively at last count) appears as if it’s dead for a second time.

While no official announcements have been made by NBC (indeed, official announcements are rarely made for shows that never get on the air in the first place), Deadline is reporting that the second incarnation of “Wonder Woman” on TV (set to star Adrianne Palicki as the superheroine) is “not going forward”.

This certainly sucks for those of us anxiously awaiting Palicki in that Wonder Woman costume. Of course, just because it’s not going forward at NBC doesn’t mean Kelley can’t still shop it to another network. Or a cable net. Personally, I’d like to see it on a cable net, where it doesn’t have to do 22 grueling episodes a season.

If this turns out to be true, are you guys rejoicing right now, or sadden that this may be the end for “Wonder Woman”?

Watch 7 Seconds of that Wonder Woman TV Show That Will Never Be



I know most people were jumping for joy when it was announced that David E. Kelley’s rebooted “Wonder Woman” TV show was dead and buried and no one wanted to touch her tiara with a ten-foot pole. But I’m one of the few people who was looking forward to it. I’m no fan of Kelley’s, mind you (frankly, I can’t digest a single thing this guy has ever written or created, he’s that much of a counter point to my very existence), but I am a huge fan of Adrianne Palicki from her “Friday Night Lights” days, and was really hoping for bigger and better things for the gal. That movie career is still going, but it’s not as sizzling as it should be, and I was hoping a renewed TV career (as the female lead) would change all that.

Alas, it was not to be. And so, no “Wonder Woman” TV show.

But if it HAD gone through, this is what it would have looked like. Or at least, seven seconds of it from one of those blink and you’ll miss TV spots that NBC would have aired all over the network to entice you to demand more. Well, it’s 7 seconds total, but it’s really just 2 seconds of actual Palicki as Wonder Woman goodness.
