TV Networks Bitch Slap Wonder Woman
Sat, January 8, 2011 
While her male counterparts fly and glide their way to piles of box office money it doesn't appear that anybody wants to take Princess Diana to the Fish Under The Sea Dance.
EW is reporting that all the big time television networks have passed on David E. Kelley's proposed Wonder Woman tv show. NBC was the final hope for Kelley's much talked about script which is a modern update on the Amazonian Princesses mythology.
Despite the serious blows to the project these rejections have caused, the powers that be are still holding out hope for the project, just not sure where they can really bring this project at this point.
We were told previously that Time Warner was hoping to get Wonder Woman and/or Supergirl the screen, big or small. I'm wondering if the attention will now be turned to a Supergirl television series?

Totally suxks its not happening right now. Hopefully things will change and they can get it going again in near future.
After the (at least moderate) successes of the original Wonder Woman series, Xena, Buffy and a long list of other TV shows with female leads, why would the networks be so against picking up Wonder Woman? We'll see if this ends up on the CW, SyFy or some other smaller network, but I'm not sure how many can offer the budget and/or audience to make it work.
I wouldn't be against a Supergirl show either.
