The Secrets of Isis - The Complete Series [DVD]

It's about time they officially released this series. Too bad the people who own these series always wait so long to release them. They are just lucky they have die hard fans that loved some of these shows or they'd make zilch on them now. They would sit on some studio shelf rotting away until their destroyed.What I always loved about ISIS is it's sense of wholesomeness and its ongoing sense of adventure. ISIS was a hero to look up to, and better portrayed it than any of todays so-called "hero's" She was not violent and didn't carry a machine gun. She did not use foul language. No wonder it's not on tv anymore! The point is, today we have do not have positive heroes to look up to. Todays kids are introduced to mostly violent programming and inappropriate content. The Simpsons are a good example of that. I do not find the show funny or good for kids. I grew up with ISIS, SHAZAM, WONDER WOMAN, THE BIONIC WOMAN, THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN. When my generation were kids we all wanted to be one of these heroes. We had a reason to stay home on a Friday and Saturday night with our families and watch these shows together. We still talk about and cherish those times now. I'm at the age of 41 now and they have just finally released the first 2 seasons of the Bionic Woman on region 2 dvd and the Six Million Dollar Man, and 2 years ago Wonder Woman series. I own all of what is available of these shows and I have the kids I work with view them now and then. Some kids love them, and others are not even slightly interested in them. The ones that don't like them think they don't have enough action. What they really want is all that phony computer generated and overly fast paced junk that looks much more fake than when they actually used to do it the hard way and have actual stunts.Oh well, I could go on and on, but the important thing about ISIS and SHAZAM is that these shows were kid friendly, had morals to be learned, and showed young people to they could be real hero's too. I saw the comments about her being a sexual device, but that was never part of the shows intention. JoAnna Cameron was lovely and in my opinion had the look of innocence and purity much like Lynda Carter always has, but the show was not about sex for me. Funny though, JoAnna was one of the prettiest women I have ever seen and when she was ISIS, "WOW!" Even though she wore much more than Wonder Woman, she was still incredible.I would recommend this show to anyone who has small children, and it is just so much fun for adults too, especially if you like the transistion to good "clean" viewing.

No in-depth stories, but still fun to watch. Great for old school superhero/tv fans.

It has been entirely too long for "The Secrets of Isis" to be released on DVD, but when the rights to the show go into the hands of the right company, magically things can happen, and that's exactly what has happened here.All twenty-two episodes of the show are here in amazing quality. The menu graphics and box art are outstanding. Unfortunately Hallmark owned the rights to the show for several years and during that time they transferred the original prints to PAL and then trashed the originals. Why they did this is beyond me and quite frankly they should be ashamed of themselves. In the process of this transfer, they chopped off the ending "moral message" that is found on many Filmation Productions programs. Thankfully, the rights were sold to BCI Eclipse and that's why we finally have the DVD release.The DVD set for "The Secrets of Isis" contains almost two hours of extra features. There are indepth interviews with all the cast members, unfortunately aside from JoAnna Cameron and with many involved with the production of the show. In addition to the interviews are photo galleries, copies of all the scripts in PDF format and many commercial bumpers and alternate credits. In addition, almost all the ending "moral messages" from the first season have been included. These have been compiled from the videotapes of fans throughout the world, most of which were captured on Betamax back in the late 70s and early 80s. The quality of the morals vary wildly and come nowhere near the quality of the episodes, however, BCI Eclipse should be applauded for allowing the inclusion of these on the DVD set. As a child during the original run of the show, the moral messages strengthened what my parents taught me and had a definite hand in the moral foundation of my adult life.For any fan of quality Saturday morning programming, Filmation Productions, comic book superheroes or for just a trip to memory lane, "The Secrets of Isis" is a must have and a no brainer!!
