KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Dave from Ottawa Joanna Cameron became a minor cult favorite back in the 70s with this campy show about a teacher who gains the powers of a goddess. Cameron was a goddess herself, fantastic looking and amiably charismatic. She had star quality, but little in the way of real acting chops, and the script and stories did her few favors. Brian Cutler played her slightly chauvinistic and obviously dense colleague Rick Mason - did he never notice that Andrea the Teacher and Isis the Goddess wore the same perfume? Joanna Pang played student Cindy Lee, who was supposed to be a teenager although she looks about 25. As always on shows like this, she gets into danger about once a week. (Honor students clearly have little in the way of street survival skills. Don't get into the car with strangers, Cindy! Or do, and maybe we'll be rid of you.) Typical episodes featured tired, familiar TV action plots involving car thieves, or crooked land developers, or missing teenagers - the sort of thing you would see on a re-run of Adam 12: safe, TV-style, G-rated crime and danger. Yet this simple-minded approach was teamed with an often condescending and preachy tone that got annoying over time, especially when watching episodes in marathon fashion as on a DVD.Basically this is a bad, cheap, poorly written show with laughable pre- Christopher Reeve superhero and flying effects, but with a knockout leading actress in the title role. Watch with the sound off.
shearblack o zepher winds that blow on high, lift me now so i can fly...she used to say that when she flew away. Did Isis ever actually fight a bad guy. Seems like she was always putting out fires and rescueing kids in 70's gear from a disabled boat! Great show, i wish i could see it again.
Brian Washington Just like Shazam, Isis was another in the series of Saturday morning television series that was overly preachy about right and wrong. In this one, a high school science teacher finds an amulet that gives her the ability to turn into the Egyptian goddess Isis who each week uses her powers to get stupid teenagers out of dangerous situations and help them learn a valuable lesson at the end. I prefer my super heroes to be involved in knock down drag em out fights, than to have them rescue me and teach me a valuable life lesson. That was the problem with Saturday morning television in the 1970's because it tried to be too relevant and overly preachy.
jeff-150 Much loved show from the seventies in constant saturday morning rerun for the second half of the decade on saturday mornings. Part of the Shazam/Isis hour. My hazy memory also throws in memories of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl with this one. Comparisons to network show Wonder Woman are like comparing apples and oranges...
