Why hasn't this been ....


Either remade into a movie, or brought back as an updated series? It has everything that it needs to succeed... I would love to see it as a movie...heck, it could almost be the female version of Indiana Jones meets the X Men...IMHO...

It was never meant to be anything more than a small budget morning show for kids. There may have been a demographic for it ten to fifteen years ago, but now the audience is too old.

Remember, the show was only mildly popular.

Blueghost, the same could've been said about the Power Rangers, and look at how many movies, and incarnations that series had!

If someone were to come up with a great script, and a production company that's interested in making a good quality film, and not just for the sake of making money, Isis could do well as a movie.

I agree - The Isis background would certainly be of interest today (look at how popular 'The Mummy' franchise was).

And, as one of the original watchers of this show, I think fans would enjoy a re-launch of it.

If a relaunch were to be made, I sincerely hope that Andrea Thomas would be a Doctor of Archeology or a professor at a university. Not just some high school science teacher. She needs some respectable title. On par with Indiana Jones and Evie Carnarvon.

Blueghost is right. Isis is barely remembered. Just as well. WB/DC can't get Superman right as MoS proves they are not going to get Isis.

Agree with Diana. She should be a professor. And I DO think there is life in this character if done correctly.
