Ysa/Jade is NOT “TV’s first live-action Green Lantern,” though she is the first female one.
The first live-action GL was Howard Murphy, in two Hanna-Barbera-produced 1979 primetime specials for NBC.
Warner has released the specials on DVD, and you can read more about them here:

I suppose that depends on your definition. Those specials were not narrative content. They were basically a variety show hosted by Ed McMahon, played for laughs. Yeah, there was a dude dressed as Green Lantern but it was pageantry, not portrayal. I appreciate the note, though, and will bring it up on the next episode so that listeners can make up their own minds!
