Neatorama has just posted an article on the failed 2001 pilot for an Electra Woman and Dyna Girl reboot.
For those of you too young to have had them inflicted on you, they were part of the 1970's Sid and Marty Croft show. (Saturday Morning Cartoon/Children's Television shows were common at one time.) I actually watched this as a child, and yes I realize I am dating myself with this confession.
I couldn't imagine watching this sort of show after reaching a certain age. I also have a hard time seeing how a serious reboot would work, which is probably why the pilot failed to get any traction.
It might work as a tongue-in-cheek parody of the superhero genre, something along the lines of the 1960's Batman show. (The current comic reboot trend just screams the need for a little parody.)
Watch the trailer and decide for yourself whether the show had any chance at succeeding, beyond starring Markie Post that is.
