Prolific TV producer David E. Kelley is known for creating female characters who tend to polarize audiences — most notoriously "post-feminist" poster girl Ally McBeal. Fortunately, for the "Wonder Woman" pilot he's helming for NBC, he's already made one move that has been met with near-unanimous approval: Adrianne Palicki has been cast to play the titular superheroine.

[GSWarrior]

Nice. I like Adrianne Palicki.

I like the fact the used the word "titular" and put the words "the set" above a photo with an obvious focal point.

But that's just me regressing.

What’s NOT to like?

Adrianne Palicki has been cast to play the titular superheroine She certainly looks like a titular superheroine to me. I'll take a Coca - Cola please.

[RexBeach]

Gee. She had her picture taken by a radish! Who knew?

“Friday Night Lights” has been a favorite show of mine and I like this actress on that show - congrats to her

[slumber1]

Is it just me or does she look a little less titular than the original Wonder Woman?

[edpc]

Based on the author's name, I'm guessing a woman wrote this. A fan of The L Word, perhaps...?

[RandallFlagg]

PING!

[Mr. K]

Laz,
Would you hit this?

[TonyInOhio]

Would you hit this?

The answer is...YES!

[Mr. K]

I was not familiar with this new addition to the definition:

tit·u·lar (tch-lr)
adj.
1. Relating to, having the nature of, or constituting a title.
2.
a. Existing in name only; nominal: the titular head of the family.
b. Bearing the title of a church or monastery that is no longer active.
3. Bearing a title: titular dignitaries.
4. Derived from a title: the titular role in a play.
5. Massive winnebagos. As in “That superhero has huge titulars”
n. One who holds a title.

She's definitely more titular than Ally McBeal

[ZX12R]

This could be a good movie to watch. I’ll probably turn the sound off, but I’m sure I’ll still enjoy watching.

I always knew you had good taste
