Plus interviews with: Show producer Douglas S. Cramer and actors S. Pearl Sharp, Stella Stevens, Joan Van Ark, and Clark Brandon.

My Thoughts:

Channel Surfing: Wonder Woman was a fun read. It teaches the reader anything they want to know about the Wonder Woman television show from the seventies. It also features Lynda Carter, and follows her career after Wonder Woman. I was hoping that the book would also do a feature on the Justice League of America that I used to watch as a child. While it did mention the show once, there wasn't as much of it as I had hoped in the book. 

Other than that, I had one problem with this book. The editing was terrible. Normally I wouldn't mind a few mistakes. However, Channel Surfing had so many spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes that it was hard to read and comprehend at times. Sometimes words were left out of sentences, which made it even more confusing. The book would have gotten five stars from me if it would have had a better editor.

I give Channel Surfing: 3/5.

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I was in no way compensated for this review.
