The Resume

    (September 6, 1975-October 23, 1976)
    Live action CBS Saturday morning children's program
    Related the adventures of a high school science teacher who could summon the powers of Egyptian goddess Isis to fight the forces of evil
    Starred; JoAnna Cameron as Andrea Thomas/Isis, Brian Cutler as Rick Mason, Joanna Pang as Cindy Lee, Ronalda Douglas as Rennie Carol, and Albert Reed as Dr Joshua Barnes

Why Isis (TV series) might be annoying:

    Which is more unbelievable, an Egyptian goddess coming back to life or a high school science teacher that looks like JoAnna Cameron?
    There was no pilot or final episode to wrap things up.
    Some Christians kicked about a pagan goddess (who was married to her own brother) being held up as a superhero.
    Most of the cast disappeared shortly after the show ended.
    Cameron always chanted some dumb incantation to turn into Isis and/or use her powers.
    Breaking with superhero tradition, her powers were undefined (usually just whatever she needed at that moment) and she had no vulnerabilities.
    For its first season, it was part of the Shazam/Isis Hour, its second season was a rerun of the first season's 22 episodes retitled 'Isis.'
    The DVD release is weak.

Why Isis (TV series) might not be annoying:

    It had a cool but short-lived comic book spinoff.
    It was very G-rated.
    It featured appropriate ethnic diversity.
    There were several crossover episodes with companion series 'Shazam.'
    'Isis' was the first network show to feature a female superhero as its lead.
    Every episode ended with Isis explaining the moral lesson of the show.
    Due to the attractiveness of Cameron, it had very high ratings among grown men to the point that ABC Sports referred to her as 'the competition.'
