I'd read about this, and now I am REALLY glad I didn't spend that 25 bucks for a bootleg copy of it years ago.

And did my ears deceive me?
Electra-Woman dropped the F-Bomb when her Electra Beam went haywire?!?!?!?

Still though................Markie Post in that outfit.......... :twisted:

Yes they did, no, she didn't.

"Mother FATHER!"

And I find it hard to believe anyone at Krofft (or DC, for the Superman/Wonder Woman references, or the Aquaman/Flash cameos) would have signed off on that.

Kinda funny. Even with out the F-bomb though, pretty adult content. Where were they planning on airing such a show, HBO or Showtime?

Electra Woman definitely made mention to her vibrator. An odd choice all around and definitely not something I would expect Markie Post to be a part of. Had her career sunk that low in 2001?

An IMDB search shows she hasn't done much since "There's Something About Mary". Five or six guest spots in TV shows, but nothing regular. That's a shame. Markie has long been one of my favorite actresses.

That was weird and a half.

I'd love to see Markie make a big comeback. She is quite funny, and obviously gorgeous.

She also said Dyna-Girl was probably still "blowing my ex" when the other girl asked whatever happened to her. She said Wonder Woman had "better tits". She was a drunk, and a bit loose, taking a shower with the boys and commenting on their schlongs. Strange content for formerly squecky clean kid stuff.

Didn't Markie's career go south after the flap over her and Linda Bloodworth Thomason's pajama party in the White House Lincoln Bedroom?

Weird. From the production values, pacing and style, it seems more like a bad 80s show (minus the language) than something made as recently at 2001.

I gotta say, except for the lame sound effects, secondary acting and guest superhero appearances, that was pretty well done, all things considered. I didn't realize Electrawoman was part of the DC pantheon.....

She wasn't until the WB commissioned the pilot.

Wikipedia wrote:
The WB had commissioned a pilot for a new version of the show in 2001 starring Markie Post as Electra Woman and Anne Stedman as Dyna Girl. The new series, written in the form of a cynical parody of the original show and the superhero genre in general, would be set 25 years after the original series, with a retired Electra Woman brought back into action by a fan of hers who ends up becoming the new Dyna Girl. The pilot shows Electra Woman to be disillusioned and bitter, sexually promiscuous and alcoholic, much in contrast to the character's original portrayal. The pilot also explains that Electra Woman had since the end of the original series been married and divorced, her husband having left her for the original Dyna Girl. Although the pilot was shot, the series was not picked up.

Let me guess--Dan Didio produced this?
