Oh yeah, I don't know if you guys followed it, but that cominc-up new Wonder Woman TV show?
It has been canceled without airing.
It seems the producers didn't like the product and so the pilot will not even air on TV.
I guess it's for the best in end.
Good or bad, the reception so far, from the few people who were able to grab a copy of the pilot before it got pulled out, didn't like it much.
I don't know if a bad WW TV show would have been good, for the character at least.
Giving a Wonder Woman series to "the crew behind Ally McBeal", didn't sound like a good move anyway. I wouldn't like a show were Diana worries about her breast size, goes shopping and spends time talking girly stuff with her roomate.
Diana is afterall the strongest woman from comics, an Amazon first of all and the "Goddess of Truth"/a warrior born.
She should be strong, spend her time protecting and helping people out and trying to promote peace and equality as the Amazons' emissary.
I believe there's still hope for a better Wonder Woman adaptation, be it on TV again or in a movie finally.
Just look at her excellent portrayal in the direct-to-DVD movie from Warner Bros Animations.
Just stay close to George Pérez 80s reboot.
Or give it to Gail Simone (as writer) or Joss Whedon (as director/producer) or anyone else that won't disguise a girly/gritty take on that Bionic Woman reboot underneath this project.
Wheadon's living TV for bigger screens.

Out of topic: I like WW comics :/
I've been reading her "entire" run since George Pérez reboot.
I'm currently in the middle of Greg Rucka's run (that means about ~200 issues read so far!)
