mis-use: An Expy is when a character from one series is lifted out and placed into another series. There can be some minor cosmetic changes but there should be absolutely no doubt who the source character is. The example makes it clear that they wanted Mary Marvel but couldn't afford her licensing so the created a totally original character inspired by but not similar to Mary Marvel either in costume or powers. Therefore, this trope doesn't apply.

* {{Expy}}: Isis has been described as a WonderWoman ripoff. In truth, Filmation wanted a female superhero alongside their show ''Series/{{Shazam}}'' but they didn't want to pay licensing fees for Mary Marvel; they wanted to create a character, in-house, that they could own outright. So really, Isis would be more a Mary Marvel ripoff.

* ComicBookAdaptation: Since the show was joined at the hip with ''Shazam!'' it made sense that DC Comics, rights holders to Captain Marvel would snap up Isis for her own comic, which actually outlived the series by a few months. Decades later, during the massive ''52'' event arc, a reimagined version of Isis was introduced into mainstream DC continuity, [[spoiler: as the wife of Captain Marvel nemesis Black Adam, only to be more or less killed off]]. Prior to this, in the mid-2000s, Alias Comics (and later Blackwater Comics) ran ''Legend of Isis'', another reimagining of the TV series concept.

** In truth, Filmation wanted a female superhero alongside their show ''{{Shazam}}'' but they didn't want to pay licensing fees for Mary Marvel; they wanted to create a character, in-house, that they could own outright. So really, Isis would be more a Mary Marval ripoff.

[[OpeningNarration "O my queen!"]] said the royal sorcerer to Hatshepsit, "with this amulet you and your decendants are endowed by the goddess Isis, with the powers of the animals and the elements! You will soar as the falcon soars, run with the speed of gazelles, and command the elements of sky and earth!"
3000 years later, a young science teacher dug up this lost treasure and found she was heir to... [[TitleDrop the secrets of Isis]]!
And so, [[ClarkKenting unknown to even her closest friends]], Rick Mason and Cindy Lee, she became a dual person -- Andrea Thomas, teacher...

The series, part of {{Filmation}}'s block of live-action programming in TheSeventies, is free to watch (with ads) on Hulu [[http://www.hulu.com/the-secrets-of-isis right here]].
!!This show provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: As much as she can be in a minimally violent kids' show like this.
* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle
* AsideGlance: Andrea (or Isis) would often give a knowing wink to the audience.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: "O Mighty Isis!"
** {{Invocation}}: Most of Isis' powers had to be activated by her speaking a [[SublimeRhyme rhyming couplet]], even for something as simple as flying.
* CanonImmigrant: A character called Isis was eventually adopted into the DC Universe, but she bore only superficial resemblance to her incarnation here.
* CharacterTitle: When first aired (and in the title cards), the show was called simply ''Isis''.
* ClarkKenting: One of the most {{egregious}} examples ever, moreso than even {{Superman}}. Seriously, Andrea [[GlassesPull doesn't even wear her glasses half the time]]!
* ContrivedCoincidence: So, Andrea Thomas is (implied to be) a descendant of the Egyptian queen Hatshepsit and thus heir to the amulet and the powers of the goddess Isis. Well, it's a good thing then that '''she''' found the amulet on that archeological dig, rather than someone who might have used it for evil -- or, at best, put it in a museum. To be fair, this can be easily {{Handwave}}d as the gods making sure the amulet winds up with its rightful owner.
* GlassesPull: Andrea does this more often than her bespectacled superhero contemporaries... and yet her friends '''still''' can't see through her disguise.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: "O ancient Sphinx, so great and wise / [[{{Invocation}} Confront this man with his own lies]]!"
* EleventhHourSuperpower: Isis would usually appear within the last five minutes of the episode.
* {{Expy}}: Isis has been described as a WonderWoman ripoff.
** In truth, Filmation wanted a female superhero alongside their show ''{{Shazam}}'' but they didn't want to pay licensing fees for Mary Marvel; they wanted to create a character, in-house, that they could own outright. So really, Isis would be more a Mary Marval ripoff.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The [[AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle moral lessons]] from each episode were excised when the show went into syndication. That is to say, they were excised from the '''master reels''', and were subsequently lost. The DVD release included as many as they could scrounge, mostly from third-generation re-dubs and over-the-air recordings.
** The series DVD set might also count, as it is now out of print. But it can still be found.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Isis could do, quite literally, almost anything. It helps that her powers are vaguely defined to begin with, thus not painting her into any corners. She's also based upon a god, which helps further.
* OpeningNarration
* ScoobyDooHoax
* StockFootage
* SyndicationTitle: ''The Secrets Of Isis'', which is the title most everyone knows it as today.
