Will another network pick up Adrianne Palicki’s Wonder Woman?
Entertainment Weekly and other sources are reporting that NBC has passed on the David E. Kelley “Wonder Woman” series, starring Adrianne Palicki (“Friday Night Lights”).
Does that mean that’s the end for the amazing Amazon on television? The online reaction to the costume was mixed, and the reaction to leaked script pages was downright frosty.
The “Aquaman” pilot that wasn’t picked up by the CW was eventually released on iTunes, so it’s possible that Warner Bros. will try to recoup some of its costs there. Another option – kind of an intriguing one – is that the CW might try to fill the superhero-sized hole in its lineup left by “Smallville” by picking up the “Wonder Woman” series.
Adrianne Palicki is certainly due to eventually break out as a star – she was praised for her work in the short-lived “Lone Star” last season as well. While I think she could develop into a Wonder Woman worth watching, it appears the pilot may have had some issues.

I read the script was terrible, and the re-write wasn’t much better. If the script was as bad as they say it was, it won’t last long anywhere. Plus, the new costume didn’t sit well with the core Wonder Woman fans…so they came up with using three costumes.
Guess this is an example of how to wreck a TV show before it even gets off the ground.
