Isis

Show Summary

Aired: 1975 - 1976
Show Type: Live Action
Country of Origin: US

Thousands of years ago, Egyptian Queen Hatchupset was given an amulet by her Royal Wizard. This amulet empowered the queen with the powers of the goddess Isis; to command the elements of sky and earth. Flash forward to present time (1970's that is) young science teacher Andrea Thomas found this lost amulet while on an archaeological dig. She found she was heir to the "Secrets of Isis." By bearing the necklace that had the amulet, and calling out the phrase "OH MIGHTY ISIS," Andrea was transformed into Isis. As Isis, she could "soar as the falcon soars, run with the speed of gazelles, and command all the elements of sky and earth." In order to invoke her powers, she had to recite incantations. Her most famous incantation - "Oh zephyr winds which blow on high, lift me now so I can fly" - assisted her in taking flight. She also had control of animals, fire, water, etc. Her powers were usually used to help teach young people she came in contact with, a moral lesson. Her associates, Rick Mason, Cindy Lee, Dr. Barnes, and later, Rennie Carroll, were oblivious to her dual identity. Isis was seen as the female counterpart to Shazam (Captain Marvel). They had a few crossover episodes to each other's shows.

Isis can out one full year before Wonder Wonman. I don't think Isis copied her, If I had to guess it was the other way around!

Isis was one of my favorite saturday morning television shows. Togther with Captain Marvel (Shazam) made for a fun filled and learned childhood development. When I discovered that all the shows were going to be on DVD, I could not wait to get mine and have watched it several times. I do believe, that Isis definitely preceeded Wonder Woman whose was portrayed by the irrestible Lynda Carter. Without Isis, there would have been no Wonder Woman, Bionic Woman, Zena and more. So thank you Isis. Would love to see a modern day remake of the tv show.
