Screaming Javelins - S2-E14

Visible crew/equipment: After Wonder Woman rescues Nadia's boyfriend by catching and tossing the two baddies, a woman wearing green and a man wearing brown, off screen, you can see something suddenly emerge and disappear at the doorway, directly behind Wonder Woman, as she's grabbing the toaster's cord to go and tie up the two baddies together.

The Bushwhackers - S1-E13

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.

Light-fingered Lady - S2-E13

Trivia: When Wonder Woman jumps over the fence, if you pause it for a split second, one can see the tip of a crew member's head. In the widescreen version, one can see the crew member and the lever he is pushing to allow for her jump.

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.

Answer: It is typical to recast non-regular cast members in a TV series, usually because they are no longer available or another actor was better suited for the part. Non-regular actors move on to other acting jobs during a series' run. Cloris Leachman, Carolyn Jones, and Beatrice Straight, who played Hippolyta, were well-known character actresses who were billed as "Guest Stars." Cloris Leachman was only in the show's pilot episode and was on the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Carolyn Jones played Hippolyta during Season 2, then was cast in the TV mini-series "Roots." Beatrice Straight played Hippolyta in the final season.
