Oh, sure, NOW the CW is all about superhero shows. This wasn't the case in 2001, when the pre-CW WB Network commissioned this pilot for a prospective series reviving Sid and Marty Krofft's fondly-remembered but completely silly distaff dynamic duo starring Deidre Hall. This pilot plays the concept for laughs, starring Markie Post as an alcoholic, bitter, surly Electra Woman, who gets a brand new Dyna Girl in an effort to revive her career. It's actually an entertainingly misanthropic good time, but it makes sense that it wouldn't have been turned into a series -- the original isn't exactly well-known, and the concept of the reboot would just tick off humorless fans of the first series.
