The Feminum Mystique: Part 1 - S1-E5

Then, note the only thing atop the hutch is a crystal basket, but when she changes back to Diana Prince two more large items are atop the hutch, now the plant is back on the table, and a tall lamp has suddenly appeared beside the chair.

The Feminum Mystique: Part 2 - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Wonder Woman is spinning the XPJ-1 around, she's seen approaching the jet with her hands empty and her lasso on her side where it usually is. As the scene progresses, her golden lasso magically appears in her right hand even though she never reached down to pick it up.

Continuity mistake: While Nazis are invading Paradise Island, back at the deserted warehouse when one of the Nazis brings Drusilla a hot meal he slams the door shut, but when Drusilla hits him in the stomach the door is suddenly wide open, but when she rushes out of the room the door is closed and she pushes it open.

Wonder Woman vs Gargantua - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After the Nazis capture Steigler, while they're at the oil refinery Gargantua is in a cage behind them. When Erica blows the whistle, the gorilla reaches through the bars and grabs a large cardboard cutout of Wonder Woman, which was leaning against the wall, but the problem is that in the previous shots that cardboard cutout was not there.

Wonder Woman vs Gargantua - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After Gargantua slams Steigler into the desk, Steigler's body can barely be seen on top of the desk and looks like most of his body is behind the desk. However, when the MP enters the room, Steigler is shown to be on top of the desk and his whole body can be seen. Gargantua didn't move him and Steigler is unconscious.

Continuity mistake: When Wonder Woman arrives at the warehouse where Steigler is being held, as she's using her lasso to scale the building the high heels on her boots have vanished, and they're now flats. This switch also occurs in previous shots, as well as at the start when Erica Belgard is disguised as Wonder Woman.

Last of the $2 Bills - S1-E9

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.

Last of the $2 Bills - S1-E9

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."

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.

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.

More trivia for Wonder Woman

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.
