"Isis" (aka "The Secrets of Isis" when it went into syndication later) was the second half of the "The Shazam!/Isis Hour" on Saturday mornings on CBS from 1975 to 1976 (Shazam (aka Captain Marvel) actually started a year before in 1974.) There were 6 crossover episodes between the two shows. (they're listed on the 'Secrets of Isis' wikipedia page so I won't list them here. )
Isis is a Filmation creation and DC has licensed Isis from the current owners (Which appears to be NBCUniversal/Comcast?) though the current character only vaguely resembles the original.
Wikipedia claims that Isis was the first live action female superhero with a weekly show (a year before 'Bionic Woman' and 'Wonder Woman'). Except those shows were for adults and Isis was Saturday morning TV (every episode ended with some 'wholesome' message/moral lesson for the impressionable kiddies.
Electra Woman and Dyna Girl was also from the same time period (1976) though I don't recall seeing it myself. Probably because my TV viewing choices back then where CBS, PBS, CTV, CBC, and CJOH (2 US, 3 Canadian) and the wiki says this was on ABC originally.
