'Oh 7-11 that sells cases of beer, pls rescue me from my failing career'


TV doesn't get much worse than this show.

I'm going to take a good guess that you weren't a kid in the 70s...right?

Wrong. Now I'll take a good guess that you haven't re-watched this show since the 70s. Because I've seen a lot of shows both then and now, and this one doesn't hold up well at all. It's TERRIBLE.

Don't believe me? It's available on NETFLIX. Some shows hold up over time. This one is completely unwatchable.

You would be wrong as well. I have owned the dvd for two years now. Yes, I do admit that it is kind of outdated, but I still enjoyed watching all 22 episodes very much. Then again, I am now a full grown man and can see some of the silliness to any kids show I saw all those years ago. No matter what though, I rather watch this than say the Pac Mac cartoon, the Smurfs, Spongebob and even the Roadrunner Show(which I always thought was really stupid). At least with Isis we get to look at a very nice piece of eye candy, so I could never say it is unwatchable like you.

Just a matter of taste I guess. No hard feelings.

Good point. She was a nice piece of eye candy!

I wasn't a kid in the 70's, am not a guy, and I still think the show is fun to watch. It's a real period piece; we're getting it free through Amazon Prime.

It was a low budget '70s show for kids. What Saturday morning kids shows do you like? ISIS was a lot of fun. And Joanna Cameron was FINE.

I personally think that sister series - SHAZAM! - is better than ISIS, but ISIS is still fun to watch, if you don't wish to watch the whole series and wish a 22 minute sneak peak instead, I would go with the episode about the kid being disturbed by the death of his dog, or the episode about the force field devise being used by crims. Enjoy!

7-11 stores don't sell beer where I live.
