Formula 407 - S1-E12
Other mistake: At the start, the episode's textbox reads, "Fort Frazier Ordnance Testing Facility" with correct spelling, but in the next shot the base's sign reads, "Fort Frazier Ordinance Testing Facility" when it should actually be "Ordnance."
The Feminum Mystique: Part 2 - S1-E6
Visible crew/equipment: After the Nazis are defeated on Paradise Island, Queen Hippolyta tells her daughters that she has plans for those Nazis, and at the start of the next shot the set equipment's c-stand is visible at the left side of the screen (widescreen version).
Visible crew/equipment: When Wonder Woman arrives at the Diamond H ranch, the housekeeper opens the front door and the reflection of lighting/equipment is visible on the glass. Additionally, there's a prominent flagpole at the front of the house with the Flag of Texas flying high, but the problem is it's being flown upside-down with the red stripe at the top, when it should be the white stripe at the top. Proud Texan JP Hadley would know better.
Formula 407 - S1-E12
Visible crew/equipment: While Lydia is being held at the shack, when Steve is with Professor Moreno he looks out the window at three Nazis on the street down below, and in the overhead shot of those three walking away from the car, their three T-marks are visible on the ground.
The Return of Wonder Woman - S2-E1
Visible crew/equipment: While the jet is flying over the Bermuda Triangle the steward releases the gas into the air, and when Steve rushes toward him in the wideshot we can see a crew member wearing jeans and a blue shirt, at the right side of the screen.
Wonder Woman vs Gargantua - S1-E7
Visible crew/equipment: When the truck carrying the caged gorilla pulls into the alleyway, just as Hans and Carl exit the truck and walk away, the blue-sleeved arm of the cameraman/crew member is visible as it moves upward, at the right side of the screen.
The Return of Wonder Woman - S2-E1
Revealing mistake: During the scenes on the jet with Steve and the others, before landing on Paradise Island and when the Amazon women are aboard, the end of the cabin and cockpit sets are visible at either the right or left side of the screen in some shots (widescreen version).
Judgment from Outer Space: Part 1 - S1-E10
Visible crew/equipment: When Wonder Woman shows up at the Library of Congress, in the overhead shot of her leaping over the bookcase, an unfinished part of the set is visible at the right side of the screen. Then after Andros has been taken from the Library of Congress, in the following shot at General Blankenship's office, we can see the end of the set wall at the right side of the screen (widescreen version).
Visible crew/equipment: After Wotan arrives on the beach Wonder Woman sees the other Nazi with a gun, so when she leaps into the air and lands in front of Steve we can see crew/equipment at the left side of the screen (widescreen version).
Continuity mistake: When Steve and Diana are off the coast of Virginia, they share binoculars to watch for three men coming ashore in a rubber boat, and when Steve raises the binoculars to his eyes the lenses are either extremely cloudy or the lens caps are on (it reflects no light), but in the following shot when Steve lowers the binoculars the lenses are perfectly normal. Then when Steve hands Diana the binoculars the lenses are still normal, but in the following shot when Diana lowers them it's once again extremely cloudy or the lens caps are on.
Continuity mistake: In the first two closeups of Steve's two dollar bill, the serial number on the bill is "A16452841A", but when Diana kisses the bill and leaves a lipstick mark, in the next closeup it's actually a different two dollar bill with serial number "A77148841A."
Visible crew/equipment: When Diana and Steve meet with Dr. Barnes at the hospital, they stop in the corridor to discuss the guard's condition, and when they resume walking the actors' T-mark and two tape marks are visible on the floor, where they had been standing.

The Feminum Mystique: Part 1 - S1-E5
Visible crew/equipment: During the games on Paradise Island, a few trailers and two cars (one has a protective cover over it) are visible in the background, first in the opening shot and also when Drusilla rides the horse past Queen Hippolyta.
The Bermuda Triangle Crisis - S2-E4
Revealing mistake: When Wonder Woman drops a mine into the water, she's supposed to be dropping it into the ocean. However, you can see a drain plug of some sort in the background and the "ocean" is obviously a pool, or similar.
Continuity mistake: Diana spins herself into Wonder Woman before she enters the gym. Watch the trash can behind her - it suddenly disappears. Additionally, in the widescreen version, a security guard can be seen standing between the car and metal door, though surely Diana would not transform into Wonder Woman right in front of someone; she even looks around to be certain nobody is watching her (the guard is not visible in the original fullscreen version). (00:35:45)
The Return of Wonder Woman - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: Quite a few of the exterior shots of the jet which Steve is on are flipped shots (including the landing closeup), note the tail number "N207L" is backwards.
Fausta, the Nazi Wonder Woman - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: After Wonder Woman is kidnapped, Steve commandeers a taxicab which has damage on its roof, but when Steve is driving the cab there's a black cloth taped to its roof covering the damage.
Wonder Woman Meets Baroness Von Gunther - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Wonder Woman calls the Dept of Motor Vehicles disguised as General Blankenship, the woman who answers the phone has long polished fingernails, but in the closeup of her going through the file box the fingernails we see are quite short and unpolished (looks like a man's hand).
The New Original Wonder Woman - S1-E1
Other mistake: When Wonder Woman and Marcia are fighting, Marcia's high heel platform shoes change into different shoes, minus the platforms.
Answer: The first actress, Cloris Leachman appeared in the TV movie which ended up being the pilot for the series. At the time, Leachman was already starring in her own TV series "Phyllis" (a spin off her role in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"). This was actually the 2nd TV movie meant to be a pilot and the first one wasn't picked up. It's likely she thought the show would be picked up. After season 1, in which Carolyn Jones played the role, ABC was slow to make a decision to pick up the series for season 2 and CBS picked up the series. When CBS picked up the series, they changed the time setting of the show and replaced all the actors, with the exception of Carter and Waggoner (with Waggoner playing a different role technically), resulting in Beatrice Straight being cast.
