The Flying Nun

1967–1970 · 3 seasons

A featherlight, sunny sitcom where gentle gags and good intentions drift by, easy to half-watch and hard to feel threatened by.

Created by: Bernard Slade, Marie Teresa Ríos
Genres: Comedy, Sci-fi & fantasy
Starring: Sally Field, Marge Redmond, Madeleine Sherwood

Overview: Young Sister Bertrille uses her ability to become airborne to help others, whether they want it or not. Although her aims are always benevolent, her means are often bemoaned by Mother Superior. The other Sisters must cope with their beloved Sister's aerodynamics and antics as she flies in and out of trouble.
