Moral: “We've all been faced by temptation - a chance to win a contest, maybe cheat on an exam or make some easy money in a dishonest way, but most of us know better than to fall for things like that. In today's story, Jim learned what Zeus meant when he said, 'Those who act dishonestly to win, walk in disgrace, perhaps even in danger.' So play it safe and play it smart. Don't be fooled by temptation. The honest way is the best way." Guest Cast Andrew Stevens as Jim Nancy Morgan as Kathy Richard Stanley as Marty Cliff Wilson as Len and Joanna Cameron as Andrea Thomas/Isis

Moral: “Billy: Maury Wills is one of the most respected men in baseball, not just because he was a great player, mostly because he respects others. You know, in some ways, all of us are different, but in one way we're all alike. We all want people to like and to respect us. Maury Wills: That's right, Billy. And the way to bring that about is to treat others as you would like them to treat you. It's called, do unto others and it means, if you give respect, you'll get it back."

Isis "The Class Clown" September 25, 1976 Isis tries to convince a young man that while his practical jokes may be humorous and have no malicious intent, they can lead to disaster. We have to ask, didn't we cover this story in the last season? And didn't the previous story, "Funny Gal" do it better? John and Richard sit down to discuss what is a technically proficient story that hits all the beats, but in the end feels like a retread of themes from the previous season. In addition, they also talk about the unlikability of the guest character. It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com. Moral: "Practical jokes may have no harmful intent, but when not thought out can lead to disaster." Guest Cast Alvin Kupperman as Rudy David Cole as Stanley and Albert Reed as Dr. Barnes

It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com. Moral: "Hitchhiking is a dangerous activity.

We're back with our first review in over a year and we start off with one of the best episodes in the series.

It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com. Moral: “Prejudice and bigotry are two words that mean not liking somebody, calling them names because they different somebody. It's pretty silly. In some ways, all of us are different, in others, we're all the same. The important thing about a person is not the color of his hair or his skin, or his religion, whether he's tall of short, skinny or fat. What is important is something called character. Ask yourself is he honest? Does he care about others? Is he good? If the answers yes, call him friend." Guest Cast Lindin Chiles as Orin Clyde Milt Kogan as Jack Michaels James Van Patten as Harry David Gruner as Yale Michaels Darel Glaser as Joe Olveira
After a near year-and-a-half absence, the podcast returns. Before John and Richard set off once again in the RV to travel the highways and the byways of the land discussing those two iconic shows we love so much, they need to do a little house cleaning, or RV cleaning, if you will.

They decide to keep it with the best of intentions for it, but the thieves who stole it want it back and will do anything to make that happen, including kidnapping the girls and Mentor. It's up to Captain Marvel and Isis to save the day. It's another great cross-over episode as Joanna Cameron guest stars as Andrea Thomas and Isis! And so we decided to make the podcast just as special. Shazam! series star, Michael Gray, joins us to discuss the episode, working with Joanna Cameron and Tut the bird, "Big John" the stunt double for John Davey in this episode, the talent of Les Tremaine, and the lost Christmas outtakes reel. It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com. Moral: “Laura and Kate learn that doing something wrong, even if it's for a good reason, doesn't make it right. A wrong deed is usually the beginning. You find yourself trying to cover it up and then the wrong deed has lead to lies and then they get bigger and bigger. Most of the time we can tell right from wrong, so don't try to fool yourself. Stick to the right way. It's the best way. " Guest Cast Dran Hamilton as Sister Mary Catherine Carol Ann Williams as Kate Susan Madigan as Laura Darwin Joston as Jasper Bill Death as McSween and Joanna Cameron as Andrea Thomas/Isis
Isis "Seeing Eye Horse" September 11, 1976 Noah is a teenager who has been recently struck blind. His passion, riding horses, seems to be elusive to him, but Andrea and Rennie are determined to change that attitude by introducing Noah to a seeing eye horse. Just how resourceful is this horse when Noah finds himself in trouble and his ranch in danger of burning down? Our look at the first episode of the second and final season of The Secrets of Isis is met with a mix of feelings between John and Richard. One of the two is not impressed at all with what he's seeing, while the other acknowledges that there are issues with the episode, but feels the message is important and relevant today, making it a better episode. The two discuss the revamped theme song, the Viewmaster reels that were developed from this story, the weak introduction of Ronalda Douglas as Rennie Carol, Isis' new hairdo, and the trope of heroic blind people in 70s television. Plus, just how familiar is that ranch house in this episode to John? It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com. Moral: "A handicap does not mean the end of a person's means of living. Knowing you have a support base can mean the difference when it comes to doing anything you want in this world." Guest Cast Greg Elliot as Noah Schuster Kathleen O'Malley as Mrs. Schuster James Griffith as Dr. Blandford
Shazam! "The Contest" September 11, 1976 Glen has a chance to win a new motorcycle, but the means of winning may prove more than Glen is willing to commit.

John and Richard discuss how there are those in this instant world who aren't willing to work for something they desire. They also discuss what may be the worst stunts in the series, the odd choice to use a new voice over for Billy's transformation, and the caliber of guest stars this particular episode has. And finally, just what is a pizza-flavored malt? It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com.

Isis "Dreams of Flight" December 13, 1975 Chala likes to design airplanes and wants to enter the school competition, but her competition is willing to go to any lengths to make sure she doesn't. To make matters worse, Chala's brother is not supportive of her "Dreams of Flight". We come to the end of the first season of Isis with a story whose moral doesn't exactly match the plot. Is this a story about accepting that all people are deserving of respect or is this a story about accepting that woman are as capable of doing anything a man can do? John and Richard discuss this as well as the the story arc of Cindy Lee and the conclusion of the first season of Isis. It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com. Moral: "People who come from different backgrounds or from different countries deserve the same respect we give everyone else. Putting someone down because they speak a different language or are a different color just doesn't make sense. What does make sense is treating people just the way we want them to treat us." Guest Cast Cynthia Avila as Chala Paul Hinkley as Mark Tom Williams as Bill Fabian Gregory as Raoul

Isis "Funny Gal" November 22, 1975 Carrie has low self-esteem due to her weight. It causes her to save people the time and trouble of putting her down by being self-deprecating. Her friends convince her to run for Student Body President as they think she would be very good at it as a creative individual. But she thinks the only way she can win is if she can pull off a publicity stunt that will get her noticed. So she steals Rick Mason's boat and gets herself stranded out in the ocean as a storm approaches. It's more than Isis can manage so she calls upon the aid of Captain Marvel. Before getting into this week's review, John and Richard discuss the sixth issue of the DC Comics 1970s The Mighty Isis comic run.

Isis "The Show Off" November 8, 1975 Steve is a student who has a serious inferiority complex. He compensates by showing off, but his recklessness gets him into trouble very quickly. John and Richard have a lot to talk about in this episode. First, there's the excitement over Michael Gray's appearance on AMC's Comic Book Men this fall. Next, they look through the fourth issue of DC Comics' 1976 run of The Mighty Isis. It's the last issue before the series took an interesting turn. Finally, they review, "The Show Off," an episode of Isis that turns out to be two stories in one as the first story is abandoned early in the second act.

It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com. Moral: "Today Steve learned that showing off may bring attention to yourself, but it isn't the way to gain respect.

Trying to be something you're not, only makes you look foolish and sometimes, it can be very dangerous." Guest Cast Harry Gold as Steve Elwood Meegan King as Roger Buck Harlan Ward as The Zookeeper
Isis "How to Find a Friend" November 1, 1975 Tom is a troubled student who tries to make friends, but fails. He comes up with the idea of really impressing a kid with a dirt bike he wants to ride by offering him an antique gun that belongs to his father. The problem is the firing mechanism of the gun is rusted and the weapon could go off in the user's hands. This is a packed episode even though it isn't action packed.

Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com. Moral: "In today's story, Tom learns that you cannot buy friendship. Real friends are those who like you for yourself, not because you are giving them presents. And Tom learned something else. He learned that a gun is not a toy. A lot of people are sorry, because they were hurt by a gun they thought wasn't loaded. So, play it safe. Don't play with a gun, then you'll never be sorry." Guest Cast Mike Lookinland as Tom Anderson Buddy Foster as Billie Tommy Norden as Joe Russ Martin as Mister Anderson & Albert Reed as Dr. Joshua Barnes
Isis "Bigfoot" October 25, 1975 Lee and Cindy claim to have seen Bigfoot while walking through the woods. Is it possible?

Plus, they also talk about how Isis managed to debunk supernatural tropes that were popular in the 70s, wonder how a man with shoes leaves a bare footprint, and discuss the second issue of the DC Comics The Mighty Isis Series, "The Creature from Dimension X" and "Lost and Found". It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com. Moral: "There's a well-known proverb that says, "You can't judge a book by its cover." What that means is that you can't tell what something is like just by the way it looks. That's especially true of people. So whether they be tall or short, thin or fat, remember, the way a person acts, not how he looks, that is what counts." Guest Cast Scott Colomby as Lee Webster Neil J. Schwartz as Mickey Moses William Engesser as Bigfoot (Richard) & Albert Reed as Dr. Joshua Barnes

In the most heartwarming and heartbreaking episode of either series, John and Richard discuss the dealing with loss in ones life. Plus, they also look at the first issue of DC Comics' The Mighty Isis comic book and rave about Joanna Cameron's acting in light of her performance in this episode. In the end though, is this one of the best, if not the best episode of the series? John and Richard are of mixed thoughts about this. It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com. Moral: "Losing something we love is never easy, but it's a part of growing up. Growing up doesn't mean just getting bigger and older, it means learning and understanding about life. The cycle of life is all around us. If you look, you'll see it everywhere - flowers, people, animals. But remember, every ending is a beginning full of hope and promise and new life." Guest Cast John Doran as Randy Martin Brian Nash as Glenn Robert Forward as Dr. Herb Rogers

Long before Hercules and Xena - long before Buffy and Angel - long before Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers, there was Captain Marvel and Isis. It's the first of several team-ups featuring the two stars of our iconic Saturday morning TV shows. The question is, is it all worth it? Is the story worthy of such a meeting? John and Richard discuss this as well as begin a series of reviews of the DC Comics Isis series from 1976-77. They start with Isis' first appearance in Shazam! #25.

Billy and Mentor know Paul knows something but he doesn't want to be a "fink". Will he see it's better to admit the truth before it's too late? Danny Bonaduce plays the misguided, but well intentioned teen who keeps his silence in this episode. John and Richard play the hosts of a podcast discussing the episode.

He discovers that a nearby piece of land that supports a great deal of wildlife in the area is in danger of being cleared for new housing. Will he take the law into his own hands or can Isis resolve the situation before it gets out of hand or worse, deadly?

He's getting older now and harder to control. Add to it, the danger he poses to livestock in the area and Kathy's father wants to release him to the wild. But Kathy and Packy run away and quickly find themselves in danger. Can Captain Marvel rescue the two in time?

Can Andrea save Bill from the dangerous turn he's taking by aligning with a local mobster? Will she be in time to also save him from the radiation that is leaking from the Circlegard? The Secrets of Isis takes a turn toward the more technical with this episode. It's a story dealing with the usual misguided teenagers and the men who manipulate them, but it also has the element of the force field generator and the dangers of radiation.

Billy's first instinct is to investigate the matter, but he turns himself in as Captain Marvel in order to prove a point to a young boy about the idea that no one is above the law. But if Captain Marvel is in jail, who is going to prove his innocence? John and Richard are both in agreement that this is one of the best episodes in the entire series.

These questions and more will be discussed on a new episode of the podcast. John and Richard wind up being split on how they feel about this episode.

Moral: "When someone dares you to do something, it's often either something dangerous or wrong to for some other reason. So the question isn't whether you have the guts to do it or not, the question is do you have the nerve enough not to take the dare?

When she finds herself getting in too deep and her life in danger, can Captain Marvel save her in time? Also, what happened to Captain Marvel? On our last Shazam! review, we pointed out how the show did nothing new or innovative with the premiere of the second season. It all seemed like business as usual. Be careful what you wish for. As the credits to this second episode begin, one can see there is clearly someone new in terms of who is wearing the big red suit. John Davey takes over the role of Captain Marvel.

There are those missing people to account for. And what happens when Cindy Lee herself disappears?

Shazam! "On Winning" September 6, 1975 The second season of Shazam! begins and it looks like business as usual. In fact, that's the problem here, for a season premiere of a hot Saturday morning television show, the opening of its second season is somewhat lackluster. Two brothers are vying for their father's attention and the younger of the two feels left out. But he soon learns that his father loves him enough to risk his life for him. The second season of Shazam! begins and while there are many changes in store for the coming season, this first episode doesn't seem to demonstrate it. John and Richard discuss how what is right with a usual episode of Shazam! is what is wrong with this season opener. Plus, they discuss how the Elders flashbacks that Billy has during the course of the episode are not neccessary and won't be missed on Isis. It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com. Moral: "Winning isn't the important thing. What is important, is to do the very best you can.

Hudis as Dan John Lupton as Craig Enright Eric Shea as Corky
Vinnie is out of jail and looking for revenge on Jackie. Will Jackie take on Vinnie? Why does everyone thing Billy is looking for a fight? Was this episode really necessary?

John and Richard come at the episode from different sides and have very different opinions on it. It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com. Moral: "In the end, fighting doesn't prove anything.

Guest Cast Greg Mabrey as Jackie Jack McCulloch as Vinnie Tom Ruben as Vinnie's Lieutenant Carol Anne Seflinger as Mellie Chad States as Vinnie's Pal
The next in our series of interviews with the people who made Shazam and The Secrets of Isis happens with actor Jack McCulloch. Jack appeared as Vinnie in the two-part first season finale of Shazam! In this interview, he talks about his career, from his start in religious programming to his appearance in the pilot of Happy Days, to his turning down the chance to audition for Luke Skywalker to his appearance in the final season of M*A*S*H, to working with Jackson Bostwick on Shazam!

Can Billy separate his feelings from the facts and determine if Jackie is truly innocent of the crime he's accused of committing? The first season of Shazam! comes to an end with the first of a two-part story. It's an odd duck in many respects, but John and Richard do find the good in it and remind everyone that odd does not mean bad. The question though is, does it hold up today? It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com. Moral: "Making one mistake isn't the end of the world.
