Wonder Woman Meets Baroness Von Gunther - S1-E2

Other mistake: When Wonder Woman is chasing the Baroness, she lassos her with her magical lasso. When she gets the lasso around the Baroness, Wonder Woman tugs on the lasso, but this pushes the Baroness in the exact opposite direction and into the swimming pool. Just before she falls in, you can even see the tension from the tug pulling her in the opposite direction, yet she falls in the opposite direction anyway as if she's been pushed, not pulled.

Fausta, the Nazi Wonder Woman - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Wonder Woman reveals her belt gives her superhuman strength. In the scene where she is strapped to a board, the Nazi officer throws the belt and lasso at Wonder Woman, but she only catches the lasso. Wonder Woman still regains her strength though and breaks free of the straps. In the next shot however, she is holding both the lasso and the belt.

Formicida - S3-E6

Trivia: After Diana and Trevor are watching a photo of Gedeon, the scene changes to Gedeon in his office about to pick up the phone. If you pause it right when it starts, you'll notice that the previous photo the two were watching was a screenshot from that moment.

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.
