It was just a Pilot. I don’t think it ever aired. I saw it on the gray.

A lot of it got leaked. There was screaming early on about how they screwed
up the costume and they actually went in and corrected it.

I never saw the pilot episode. I do remember talk about the show but
all I can recall was some talk about her outfit.

That’s pretty much all that the talk amounted to.

No wonder (heh) I didn't remember. I just noticed I was replying to an
article from 2011 that appeared on my reader! Hmm, there are a bunch
of old postings appearing today...

Because it's an "unaired pilot". ;-)

It starred Adrienne Palicki ("The Orville") and Lynda Carter (original
TV "Wonder Woman"), as well as Tom Welling ("Smallville") ... and
Elizabeth Hurley, who pretty much guaranteed it would be a failure even
if it had made it to air.

The quality isn't very good, but it's available all over the place:

Could be your browser - I found myself "replying" to a lot of 6 month
old messages which turned out to be replies I had written 6 months
previously but had seemingly been retained and after the next update
(or some other glitch) had sent themselves a second time with December
date stamps.....

Browser? Give me a break. It's a newsreader.

freedyn.de has been re-injecting lots and lots of old articles
into Usenet. For some reason, eternal-september didn't reject the
articles as it should have.

Check the Date header on an article you are reading. If it's an old
article, then check the Path header to see if it's from freedyn.de

Thanks for the feedback. The ones that seemed odd I let be deleted the
week after Christmas. Generally once read I don't keep stuff unless I
have some particular reason to save them.

Did you know that some apps run in web browsers?

I do not see any Path headers like that.

Maybe that's because this thread is 11 years old.

I didn't realise human memories only lasted 10 years ... but it would
certainly explain a lot. ;-)
