Watching this brought back memories of childhood. A good time, a simple time, the 70's, the memories keep coming. Excellent 70's childrens' program.

Although the shows had no violence but, they did show sexism and the battle of the sexes that exist today. Some guests on the series got their start on this show and starred on their own shows later on. This DVD was a pleasure to watch and I recommend it to all who grew up during the 1970's because ISIS will fly back into your heart's once again! Also, back then people didn't have to buckle up their seat belts or lock their vehicles. The states didn't force citizens back then to buckle up or be fined heavily for what is considered breaking the law today. Is that progress? Or socialism?

ISIS, along with her Filmation friends over on such series as SHAZAM!, ARK II, Space Academy and Jason of Star Command, were a staple of many kids of the 70s, including me. With the exception of SHAZAM! they have all been released to DVD, which enables us all to go back to a simpler time, and a much more innocent time.
ISIS is a great series when you have the nostalgia to appreciate it. It is absolutely cheesy, and cheaply produced, but star Joanna Cameron always played her part with pride and nobility, and the stories contained morals and guidance for the young audience they were produced for.
Superhero Captain Marvel also makes a few appearances.
Recommended to fans of the 70s, and of superheroes!

I saw an episode from the fourth season of Columbo called "Negative Reaction," which starred Dick Van Dyke as a murderous photographer, and couldn't help but take note of the incredibly beautiful young woman that played Dyke's girlfriend. I looked her up on imdb and discovered that the woman, JoAnna Cameron, played the titular heroine in the 70s Saturday morning series "The Secrets of Isis."
This explains my interest in picking up this "Isis" dvd set, as I only vaguely recall the show as a kid; so there's very little nostalgic factor with me.
The set features all 22 episodes on two dvds and a handful of extras, including a 2-hour piece involving interviews with producers and stars, etc.
The show beat out the similar primetime series "Wonder Woman," debuting Sept. 9, 1975. "Wonder Woman" didn't appear until sometime in 1976.
"The Secrets of Isis" was a low-budget Saturday morning series and obviously geared toward kids. Each episode has a moral; the cast is upbeat, likable and multi-cultural; the vibe is simple and wholesome; and the F/X are cheap. Each segment only runs 20 minutes (not including credits) and the last two episodes feature Captain Marvel of "Shazam!" All that said, the show possesses a certain charm. One can't help but respect that JoAnna Cameron took the role seriously.
In the interview section the producers admit that they chose JoAnna to play Isis because she had "great legs." And so she does. In fact, it's the first thing I noticed about her when I saw that episode of "Columbo." JoAnna is fairly short and kind of thin, but curvy at the same time. In any case, her legs are truly exquisite. Her face and presence also exude great intelligence and poise. A very uniquely beautiful woman, to say the least. Lynda Carter of "Wonder Woman," by contrast, was tall and ultra-voluptuous (I personally get sick at the sight of nigh-anorexic women). Another great 70s beauty was Erin Gray of "Buck Rogers."
BOTTOME LINE: Despite its numerous shortcomings noted above, "The Secrets of Isis" is worth picking up for those nostalgic of the show or those fascinated by JoAnna Cameron's great beauty, intelligence and poise; or both. And, by all means, watch it with your kids.

Nothing beats the 70's first TV heroine like Isis. Before Wonder Woman this Saturday morning superhero was the first of it's kind. Teamed up with the live-action show Shazam!, Isis won in the ratings for Saturday mornings. With great morals and some of the first issues brought up on children's tv such as a death of a pet, this groundbreaking series is a must. Great for all ages.
