It's kinda weird to watch that (I have the first season) and see that she didn't work out the way today's actresses do. But my god, she hit the genetic lottery, didn't she?

Ah, the old days of jiggle TV. Lynda Carter definitely did hit the genetic lottery.
As for actors' bodies, it was a different time. The workout craze hit American culture and Hollywood in the '80s. Schwarzenegger and Stallone raised the bar then, and in recent years, the preponderance of comic book movies continues to increase the trend.
For me, my top example of the Hollywood muscle trend is Brad Pitt. Remember how he was the reedy boy J.D. in "Thelma and Louise," and then the behemoth Achilles in "Troy"? The days used to be that Hollywood lust objects were just built the way they were built. But these days, if I had a personal trainer, worked out four hours a day, and took steroids and HGH, I'd look like Brad Pitt, too.

You look way better than Brad Pitt.
Do you mind if I frame this reply? I'm putting it right next to my college degrees.
At the Met's superheroes and fashion exhibit, they had one of Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman costumes. You could see exactly what it, ahem, took to fit into it.
I may put together a fashion show post soon about my latest Kohl's escapades.
Also, turnabout is fair play: You're pretty fine yourself, lady!
