| Wonder Woman Lynda Carter |
Like most of us I have been watching way more TV of late. Hey, what are we Corn Teen minions supposed to do with limited options???
Well yesterday while channel surfing I struck Television Gold! "Yes" I was feeling my inner Yukon Cornelius when I stumbled upon a two part Batman episode with Julie Newmar as the Catwoman on, followed by an episode of Wonder Woman with Lynda Carter and Lyle Waggoner.
The thing I remembered most about these shows from my days of yore was that they were silly fun. What I really did not recall was how skilled the actors were in bringing depth to that silliness.

| Catwoman Julie Newmar |
Julie Newmar brought surprising pathos to her performance as the kinky Catwoman, even though the material she was given on Batman was pure camp on a stick, Ms. Newmar really understood what she was doing and how to elevate it.
Likewise Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman and Lyle Waggoner as Major Steve Trevor. They all elevated something silly into something magic.
I truly enjoyed rediscovering these two old friends, sometimes The Quarantine Shuffle isn't too shabby.
