Episode 55: The Secrets of Isis - "Year of the Dragon"

Isis "Year of the Dragon" October 9, 1976

​A Chinese teen wins a prize for a competition at school and
tries to avoid having her father show up for the awards
ceremony.  She goes to such lengths to avoid it that she
places herself and her father in danger.








John and Richard are back in the RV and making their
final stops along the highways and byways of the land
exploring those two Saturday morning series of the
70s we loved as kids - Shazam! and the Secrets of
Isis. We continue with an Isis episode, "Year of the
Dragon".  In it, the two discuss how 1976 was
the Year of the Dragon, the Chinese stereotypes, and
are confused by what the character of Julie has to be
ashamed of in her father when he seems really cool.


​It's all here and we want to hear from you on what
you think of the episode.  Write us as
