Episode 47: ISIS - "Seeing Eye Horse"

The Shazam Isis Podcast

Isis "Seeing Eye Horse" September 11, 1976

Noah is a teenager who has been recently struck blind. His passion, riding horses, seems to be elusive to him, but Andrea and Rennie are determined to change that attitude by introducing Noah to a seeing eye horse. Just how resourceful is this horse when Noah finds himself in trouble and his ranch in danger of burning down?

Our look at the first episode of the second and final season of The Secrets of Isis is met with a mix of feelings between John and Richard. One of the two is not impressed at all with what he's seeing, while the other acknowledges that there are issues with the episode, but feels the message is important and relevant today, making it a better episode. The two discuss the revamped theme song, the Viewmaster reels that were developed from this story, the weak introduction of Ronalda Douglas as Rennie Carol, Isis' new hairdo, and the trope of heroic blind people in 70s television. Plus, just how familiar is that ranch house in this episode to John?

It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as [e-mail].
