I Am Wonder Woman, Hear Me Roar
TV characters who've donned Wonder Woman costumes:
Miss Piggy transformed into "Wonder Pig" in order to fend off a giant chicken in a superhero themed episode of The Muppet Show, which featured a guest appearance by Lynda Carter (who played Wonder Woman in the 70s TV show Wonder Woman).
Comic book nerd Seth Cohen (Adam Brody) thought he was going to pass out when Summer Roberts (Rachel Bilson) put on a Wonder Woman costume as a Christmas Chrismukkah present for him in The OC.
After accidently killing the man he believed to be his father in a unicycle stunt gone wrong, Peter Griffin sported a Wonder Woman costume before heading to Ireland to try to find his real father in Family Guy.
Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) thought Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) looked wonderful when she dressed up as Wonder Woman for Halloween in Bones.

Campus Capers
Three campus-based films:
Love and Other Catastrophes follows the romantic misadventures of a group of students at Melbourne University and focuses in particular on roommates Mia (Frances O'Connor) and Alice (Alice Garner) as they search for a third housemate. Mia’s fear of commitment has caused her to split from her girlfriend Danni (Radha Mitchell), while Alice has fallen for "the Warren Beatty of the campus" Ari (Matthew Dyktynski), and is being admired from afar by Michael (Matt Day), a shy medical student who is looking for a new place to live.
Adapted from the novel by Michael Chabon, Wonder Boys follows English professor Grady Tripp (Michael Douglas), a once successful novelist whose follow-up novel is seven years overdue. Over the course of one weekend Grady has to deal with his visiting editor Terry Crabtree (Robert Downey Jr.), a potentially suicidal student named James Leer (Tobey Maguire), who’s shot a dog dead and stolen a valuable piece of Marilyn Monroe memorabilia, and the news that the university chancellor (and his boss’s wife) Sara Gaskell (Frances McDormand) is pregnant with his child.
Adapted from the novel by Bret Easton Ellis, The Rules of Attraction chronicles the drug and alcohol fuelled days and nights of a group of students at a fictional New England liberal arts college named Camden College. Womanizing drug dealer Sean Bateman (James Van Der Beek) is in love with "virgin" Lauren Hynde (Shannyn Sossamon) but Lauren is saving herself for Victor Johnson (Kip Pardue), who is backpacking through Europe, while Lauren's bisexual ex-boyfriend Paul Denton (Ian Somerhalder) is infatuated with Sean.
