Dlisted recently reminded me about two of my favorite childhood Saturday Morning TV shows - Shazam! and The Secrets of Isis.
Shazam! came first (in 1974) - and it starred the incredibly cute Michael Gray (above). I might have been too young to know the reason why - but I NEVER wanted to miss seeing Michael and his tights-wearing, muscular alter-ego - Captain Marvel (who was played by some beefy dude).
Then in 1975 the show became The Shazam!/Isis Hour when it combined with spinoff The Secrets of Isis for one big gay hour of children's television.
As a child, I could never decide if I liked Shazam! or Isis better. Shazam! had the hotties, but Isis had the fierce jewels and outfits. If they just would have figured out a way for Michael Gray to wear Isis's glamorous headpiece and mini-skirt, it would have been gayperfect.
