Live action DC superhero specials aired in primetime in 1979. Mercifully, I didn't watch them.

Apparently The Huntress and Black Canary, or do you mean the actual actresses?

EDIT: Found the actresses:

I vaguely recall watching both of those on their original broadcasts. I also recall turning both off before completion, out of frustrated disgust.

Fun horrifying trivia: the actress playing Giganta, who looks the part pretty well, is a native of Tennessee named Alfred Brevard Crenshaw. H/she did not get much work other than this part. (Or not in TV or film anyway.)
