Description
Oh Mighty Isis! She was Saturday morning's first live-action super-heroine, saving lives and stopping crime in a mini-skirt and go-go boots on The Secrets of Isis! When science teacher Andrea Thomas unearthed a lost treasure on an archeological dig, she found that the mystical amulet endowed her with the powers given to the ancient Egyptian Queen, Isis! Now granted the powers of animals and the elements, Isis soars as the falcon soared, runs with the speed of gazelles, and commands the elements of the sky and the earth. Although her secret identity is unknown to even her closest friends, fellow teacher Rick Mason, or students Cindy Lee and Renee Carrol, Andrea uses her powers as Isis to stop criminals, save lives, right wrongs, and teach valuable lessons... sometimes with the aid of fellow hero Captain Marvel (Shazam!). Now available on DVD for the first time, the entire two seasons of The Secrets of Isis contain a treasure-trove of special features, and all the super-powered goodness that the heroine represented. Now, you too can be the heir to...The Secrets of Isis! |

Memories of Saturday Mornings ago.. by Joel Dubois (Tampa., Fl)  4 Stars
November 04, 2009
Watching these old episodes bring back so many memories. It is so amazing how "back in my day" these live shows were so cool, but yet compared to todays technology in TV, it seems so lame now. But I used to pretend to be ISIS at recess while other guys were Batman, Superman, Aquaman etc from the Superfriends!! I LEARNED THAT NO power was greater than a womans will. I learned that from my Grandmother, Mother, 3 Sisters, GodMother and later, my ex wife.
The quality is GREAT considering the age. You should share this with your kids!!! Because at the end... there are still lessons to be learned that can still be applied if you disucss it with them, even in todays world.
No amount of technology can replace human feelings and the ability to love, yearn, empathize, and learn from each other the power of honesty and love.
You will not regret this purchase and going down Sat morning memory lane!! If you lived in that time when this was on TV.
Tim, Tampa FL

Oh mighty Isis! by Laura Fredericks (New York, NY) 5 Stars
October 22, 2009
It was so much fun to watch this series, again after 34 years! The "extras" are great, too! As I get older, I find myself getting nostalgic. I won't start worrying unless I begin craving Howdy Doody and Andy Devine, haha.
Seriously, if you enjoyed watching Isis -- or the Shazam/Isis Hour -- order this DVD! The special effects are cheesy compared to today, but that's what makes watching cult TV shows even MORE fun to watch!

August 20, 2009
An incredible DVD! i highky reccomend it. Watching these shows brought back fond memories. I, like every other 11-14 year old that watched this show in the 70's, was mesmerized by the beauty of Joanna Cameron.
What is really amazing is.....my 4 and 6 year old sons are watching these shows with me, and they are hooked!

Yet another sweet seventies superheroine by William B. Bangs (Irvine, California) 4 Stars
August 17, 2009
DISCLAIMER: This review does not apply to the extras, which I intend to view shortly after writing this.
Oh, Mighty Isis, you're pretty cool if I do say so myself. Along with Wonder Woman, The Bionic Woman and any number of their spiritual sisters since, Isis was a different type of crimebuster, a kinder, gentler one who, though nice to all, could still get the job done as well as any man. A staple of the transition between strictly Saturday morning and the regular programming which resumed after noon, Isis (along with her much dorkier male counterpart, Shazam, a.k.a. "Captain Marvel") was fun to watch, though not quite as memorable or substantive as the others. Like bionic Jaime Sommers, her alter ego was a teacher, and like Wonder Woman, she relied on magic and traced her roots back to an ancient goddess. But UNLIKE these others, Isis only had HALF the hour to herself, less when the occasional crossover episode saw her asking Shazam for help (something else which would become a fixture on The Bionic Woman a year later, and would work MUCH better there).
The writing was a mixed bag, and a small but significant turn for the worse accompanied Isis' short-lived run independent of her predecessor. Since Joanna Cameron didn't participate in the interviews, it's almost too bad you can't just get the first two discs. To enjoy this show, you'll also have to be willing to accept the magic source of Isis' powers, a definite drawback of this show as compared to the much better Bionic Woman. After all, Isis descends literally from on high most times, and simply tells the elements what to do -- not much of a challenge except for thinking up appropriate rhyming couplets. Still, this allows her to capture everyone without hurting a soul.
And in the end, it really doesn't matter, at least for the golden run of the series, to be found on the first two discs. Standout episodes? "Fool's Dare", where she is truly tender in her capture the bad guys, with a net and old tires, respectively, and the one later on, which is set in a ghost town, where she temporarily loses her power-bestowing amulet, and has to have her students help out. Worth a miss? "Lucky," about the death of a pet -- too raw and real -- and "The Hitchhikers" on the last disc, for its cavalier treatment of a serious subject even as the rest of these final episodes were getting too serious, and alter ego Andrea Thomas was beginning to talk -- and sound -- like the smart alec Dianna Prince of Wonder Woman's second season. As for the final two-parter, let's just say that the only REAL weather control device on TV of that era premiered four days later on rival network ABC as a FAR better THREE part combo Six Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman story. Please do NOT watch these back to back; stick with the first two thirds of Isis' run, minus "Lucky". It's well worth it, and ultimately deserves to be rated on ITS OWN MERITS, not compared to its betters unless you're REALLY into female superheroes, in which case you'll probably feel as I do.
So, Oh mighty Isis, perk me up from feeling low, entertain me all night with your cool TV show!!!
