It was written and produced by David E Kelley, who had a background in quality network TV; as well as working on LA Law, he created Chicago Hope and other successful shows. In the run up to cameras rolling on the production there was a minor controversy about Wonder Woman?s costume, and in the finished show it was slightly changed from the one shown in the publicity photos, though that might have been more for practical reasons than anything (originally her leggings were latex, and in the show they seem a more flexible fabric). Lynda Carter gave the show her seal of approval.
