Oh Mighty Isis! Landmark superheroine show's 50th anniversary!
Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2025 6:26 am
The Secrets of Isis (originally just 'Isis') was first broadcast at 10:30am EST, 6th September 1975. That's 50 years ago, folks!
The series was the first superhero show in American tv history to feature a female as its lead, rather than as a guest or supporting character. It beat Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman to the crown by two month.
By way of celebration, I've done a short write up over at my old blog, and there will be several days of Isis-related postings (clips, photos, comics, etc.) over the coming week at the Superheroines International Facebook page.
If you're interested, I also wrote a blog post a while back looking at the various firsts in superheroine television around the world.
