Revealing mistake: When the explosions go and the place starts to shake, neither the trees outside nor the objects in the lab move an inch, revealing the camera trick. Later on, the group walks towards a table and things do shake.

Continuity mistake: When Wonder Woman approaches the blackboard, it's filled with formulas. A shot later, half of them are already erased before she starts using the eraser.

Continuity mistake: When the sniper tries to kill the scientist, it's pitch-black night. When Wonder Woman jumps to catch him, it's daylight.

Continuity mistake: Wonder Woman jumps out of the hospital window face down but lands feet first, seemingly to allow for the stuntwoman to land on a mattress.

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."
Other mistake: When Diana and Etta have their picture taken by Wotan in disguise, Diana makes eye contact with Wotan and in the extreme closeup of Diana's eyes we see that Lynda Carter is wearing modern contact lenses under her eyeglasses.
Other mistake: After Wotan's arrival on the Virginia beach, there are two closeups of Wonder Woman leaping into the air and the "boots" she's wearing aren't actually boots, they are shoes with the high boot part layered over them, and when she's on the beach she's wearing the flat boots.

Revealing mistake: When one of Wotan's fellow Nazis in the rubber boat starts shooting toward Steve, in the closeup of Wonder Woman deflecting the bullets, one of the wired remotes that control her bracelets' sparks can be seen in her right hand, and as she starts walking toward the camera we can also see the other remote in her left hand.
Other mistake: In the two closeups of Steve's two dollar bill being held first by Steve and then by Diana, we can read "1963 A" and the name "Henry H. Fowler" Secretary of the Treasury during Lyndon Johnson's administration, as it appears under the red seal, even though this takes place in 1942.
Other mistake: When the two dollar bill engraving plates are being stolen from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving (in reality it's called Bureau of Engraving and Printing), in the closeup of the plates we see the obverse and reverse sides do not look like the images on real two dollar bills of that era (perhaps this was deliberate, but still an error).
Continuity mistake: When Wotan and the other two Nazis arrive in the rubber boat, during the scuffle Steve is wearing boots, but his stunt double is wearing completely different shoes.
Visible crew/equipment: When Hank kicks Steve down the basement stairs, in the following shots the shadow of the boom pole/mic is moving around on the wall, at the left side of the screen. Then after Steve picks the lock on the chain he opens the back door, and the shadow of the boom mic is moving at the top of the screen.

Continuity mistake: Wonder Woman is on the beach and removes her tiara. A shot later, she's in a studio set.

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).
Judgment from Outer Space: Part 1 - S1-E10
Visible crew/equipment: When Steve is telling Diana about the full scale search for Andros while they're in Steve's office, just as Steve sits down the camera pans to the left and we can see the shadow of the boom mic moving at the top left corner of the screen, as well as the end of the set wall at the left side of the screen.
Judgment from Outer Space: Part 1 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: When Wonder Woman is about to enter the spaceship, we see a close-up of Wonder Woman's lips because she whistles the tune that opens the ship's door. At the beginning of the next episode (which takes place a few minutes later in the story's timeline), we see another close-up of Wonder Woman's lips. This time, she's wearing lipstick, although she hasn't had time to put any on.

Judgment from Outer Space: Part 1 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: During the fight at the gardens and the later fight at the library, Wonder Woman's high-heel boots swap to flat shoes.
Judgment from Outer Space: Part 2 - S1-E11
Audio problem: Wonder Woman whistles inside Andros' ship, but her lips do not open slightly. They remain closed.







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.
