Shazam!
My TiVo recorded a episode from the first season of Shazam!, which I used to watch faithfully as a kid. In 1974. Which, for the mathematically impaired, was thirty years ago. Between this and Cyndi Lauper. . . .
While some shows from my childhood have stood the test of time, this one has not. My word, it was lame.
Isis was hot.
I vaguely remember it. It was on Saturday mornings, right?
Watched an episode the other night too, eager to recapture my youth.
Awful. Just awful. Maureen Dowd awful.
Isis was hot though.
Yup, I remember it as being pretty lame, but I would watch almost anything that had super heroes in it.
Speaking of lame Saturday morning fare, anyone remember “Ark 2”
James,
I was up late a few weeks ago and caught an episode of “Shazam” as well…you’re right, embarrassingly bad, but quite nostalgic! As I recall, they changed the actors who played “Captain Marvel” about midway through the series.
I’m sure that these actors are proud to have this on their resume. I looked him up, the actor who played Billy Batson at last report ran a flower shop somewhere in L.A.
Roll Tide!

As it turns out, there was only one season of Shazam! and then two more of the Shazam!-Isis Hour. They changed actors after the first year for some reason.
