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.

lovestonerocks Yeah, I remember this show. It was far out. the best part was when she took off those glasses and ran around fighting crime in that short little white costume number. I'm surprised this show isn't on DVD yet with Shazam!. Isis would definitely make a cool show today. It was a head of it's time.

kynoceph Entertaining show for kids with drop-dead-gorgeous JoAnna Cameron as a teacher who changes into the goddess Isis to fight evil. The show came on the air in the mid-70's, during what was then a public uproar over violence on children's television, so Isis defeated most of her villains non-violently and offered a moral at the end of the show. The show only lasted one season but was re-run for many years after that.The show caught on in South America when it was rebroadcast there in the 1980s, and "Isis" has many Brazilian fans.The show is mostly valuable today for the fun cornball factor and for the fact that Ms. Cameron, who bears a striking resemblance to Catherine Zeta-Jones, was a knockout who wore short skirts and had great legs. Neo-pagans and Wiccans will find much to raise an eyebrow over, as the goddess aspect is treated with unusual respect for the time and place the show came out.JoAnna Cameron retired from show business in the 80's and went into nursing, specializing in geriatrics. Recently she has made appearances at science fiction and TV nostalgia conventions and by all reports is still a gracious and beautiful woman.
