On Second Thought, Maybe NBC Would Like a Wonder Woman TV Show, Thank You Very Much
 |
?Remember how all the major networks passed on that David E. Kelley-led Wonder Woman TV show? Well, NBC actually went back and ordered a pilot. Which means whether the show gets picked up or not, there will at the very least be a bootleg of one episode of a modern Wonder Woman TV series at some point in there future.
NBC didn’t explain why they changed their minds, but I like to imagine one executive said, “Have you fucking seen The Cape? What the fuck do we have to lose?” (Via Spinoff Online)
