Walt

It’s official, Wonder Woman will not be a series on NBC.  NBC held more up fronts today and Entertainment Weekly has learned the network passed on David E. Kelley’s Wonder Woman pilot.

The pilot starred Adrianne Palicki as Diana, Elizabeth Hurley and Cary Elwes. There’s no official reason why the show was passed over but that “scuttlebutt reveals the pilot earned mixed reviews at test screenings. And then…

Smallville Last Season?

Walt

Superficially, the much-anticipated weekly adventure fantasy series Smallville resembled the many cartoon and live-action adaptations of DC’s old Superboy comic books, themselves spin-offs of the indomitable Siegel and Schuster creation, Superman. However, this new hour-long WB series went off on several new tangents, notably the Buffy the Vampire Slayer conceit that with special powers comes special responsibilities. The pilot episode, telecast on October 16, 2001, established the premise by showing a strange meteor crashing just outside the tiny Kansas community of Smallville in 1989. The meteor was actually a spaceship…
