In the subsequent Carter/Waggoner Wonder Woman pilot of 1975, Carter had replaced Crosby as The New, Original Wonder Woman alongside Waggoner as the new Trevor. With Wonder Woman, people had a chance to see something that they hadn’t seen before on TV -a physically able, emotionally and psychologically stable, independent woman with a fantasy element.” “Wonder Woman possessed superpowers, but her special abilities did not solely define who she was. “That’s exactly what I tried to do,” Carter in particular once recalled. Many viewers were charmed by Carter and Waggoner’s very human and approachable TV interpretations of their comic book roles. TV watchers tuned in by the groves, and that film turned into a series of ABC one-hour specials, followed by two more regular seasons on CBS.
While the Burnett program continued until 1978 without him, Waggoner found new fame as the father and son editions of Steve Trevor opposite Carter, then a fresh-faced newcomer (and former Miss World USA), in the 1975 TV-movie and backdoor pilot, The All-New, Original Wonder Woman. Before Wonder Woman, Waggoner was best-known as the announcer-turned-performer on The Carol Burnett Show from 1967 to 1974.
