(THE NEW ADVENTURES OF) WONDER WOMAN
1975-1979 ABC/CBS
WONDER BROAD
Goose #3, December 1976
artist and writer unknown
Like with the masthead, none of the staff of Goose is listed except for being credited as “A Bunch of Dirty Old Men”. The lettering looks like it may have been Tony Tallarico.
Wonder Woman was one of many TV shows GenXers like myself saw when placed in front of.what was then called “the electronic babysitter”. It was co-developed by Stanley Ralph Ross, who created the comics camp look for the Batman series the network was hoping to duplicate here. It was based on the comic that had existed since 1941. She and her alter ego of Diana Prince were played by Lynda Carter, who became one of TV's sex symbols of the 70s.
She had a magic lasso and was from Paradise Island, which she traveled to in her invisible plane. Her mother was Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons (played by Cloris Leachman, Carolyn Jones, and Beatrice Straight in different seasons. This could be either one of them, since it doesn't look like any of them)

Chapter in a longer story called Plan X From Planet Nerd.

This parody of the comic is ironically more faithful to the TV series than those other two parodies, despite being tenty-one years before the show, and before most people even had television.
Steve Trevor (Lyle Waggoner) is Diana Prince's boyfriend.
No comment about that last panel in re: how women were treated in the 50s (let alone the 70s or now even).
They attempted to sell this to television using a different approach. This pilot was written by MAD's Larry Siegel.

Spoof they did of the show prior to the one I posted before. “Media Watch” was one of their segments where viewers would send in funny newspaper and magazine articles. “Red Faces” was parodied before. “Chook Lotto” was their version of a Lotto draw with the numbers placed on live chickens instead of something like ping pong balls, and the winner was presented a Toyota from dealer Ken Morgon. Jackie McDonald was later co-host of the show. THE JACK PAAR SHOW

Jack Paar was one of the first talk show hosts. I can only identify a few of the caricatures here, and after more are pointed out, I'll realize what I forgot. Right now all I can point out are Boris Karloff, Charley Weaver, Jonathan Winters, Wally Cox, Elsa Maxwell, Mort Sahl, Ed Sullivan. JACK'S MYSTERY GUEST
