The Bermuda Triangle Crisis - S2-E4
Other mistake: When the plane is leaving, its tail number is backwards, revealing the shot was flipped.
Mind Stealers from Outer Space: Part 2 - S2-E11
Other mistake: The shots of Wonder Woman jumping around (timecode 00:12:33) are reused from S2E7 'The Queen and the Thief' (timecode 00:02:20).
The Girl from Ilandia - S2-E21
Other mistake: The close-up shots of Tina's glowing bracelets and pendant are the same shot reused.
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.
Trivia: Jeannie Epper, Lynda Carter's stunt double's son, was bullied in school by his peers who didn't believe his mother played Wonder Woman. Lynda Carter heard this and invited them to the set.
Question: Why did they have three actresses playing Hippolyta? Scheduling conflicts with each one?
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.
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.
