The Secrets of Isis is a CBS live-action superhero television series focusing on Isis the alter ego of Andrea Thomas, a seemingly normal schoolteacher, who transforms into the Egyptian goddess when presented with crises a mere mortal cannot resolve.

The program was the first weekly, American, live-action television series with a female superhero lead character, debuting September 6, 1975, predating the weekly debuts of both The Bionic Woman (January 1976), and Wonder Woman (April 1976). It had canon crossovers with the TV series Shazam! and thus they have a shared universe. This was Isis/Andra Thomas' first appearance, as the character was created for the Captain Marvel timeslot on the CBS network which was originally going to be Mary Marvel, however the DC Comics licenses fee was too high - thus an original character was created which is later added to the comics.[1]
