'Friday Night Lights' Star Adrianne Palicki Lands the Lead in NBC's 'Wonder Woman' Reboot

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.

Make mine a double... ;-)

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Of course I do

Cute gal...Definitely titular...Looks a bit like Leo DiCaprio’s little sister.

[Migraine]

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

I guess you're not aware of the new trends. We're lucky they didn't give us Rachel Ray's fried eggs. You need to keep abreast.

Thanks to RandallFlagg (aka The Walkin’ Dude) for the heads up.

Take a look at the article on the matter. The initial picture in the article is almost NSFW.....

Let's try that again, shall we?

Things go better with Coke.

Lynda Carter is still my favorite when it comes to playing Wonder Woman. Ah, what she did for that costume was a joy to behold! Sorry, Adrianne, no offense.

A decent actress (hard for me to tell when she is so smoking hot and bears a striking resemblance to my ex-wife), she definitely has the physicality for the role.

She must be about 5'10” at least, she towered over the actor playing the Football tough guy “Riggins” in “Friday Night Lights”.

What’s NOT to like?

Outside of her campaigning for Obama, the biggest hurdle is that every Kelley project is a Republican-bashathon and the script review for this one was embarrassing.

The coach’s daughter was hotter.

[The Great RJ]

She is so hot she could steam up Teddy Roosevelt’s glasses on Mt. Rushmore.

[newzjunkey]

She’s homely, a great fit for this project! It isn’t Wonder Woman. It’s just another cookie-cutter David E. Kelly program full of edgy, “quirky” female characters proselytizing liberal propaganda.

[tanknetter]

Question is, will she sport the traditional WW corset costume, or the current stretchpants and jacket one?

[ZX12R]

Of course she won’t be wearing anything representative of America. That is taboo these days.

I wouldn’t have known if you hadn’t told me. I pay as little attention as possible to anything musicians, actors, or pinup girls say about politics.

Laz, Would you hit this?

I suspect we'll be seeing the "I'd hit it like the fist of an angry God" graphic.

[TheThirdRuffian]

She’s cute, but she needs to go hit the weights to play wonder woman.

WW is tough.
