The Flying Nun - The Complete Second Season (1967)

Why Is Sony Dragging Their Tales to Get Season Three Out?

You would think that with "Brothers and Sisters" being such a popular show, Sony would come up with a clever cross marketing campaign and get off their duffs and release the final season of this great show. I mean come on we are talking about Sally Field here! It's only one more season Sony, would it hurt you to put out an entire 3 season series? Man you guys are slow. I mean I will probably have one foot in the grave before the entire Paty of Five series is released. Well, at least my I Dream of Jeannie series is complete, I wonder if I can say the same for Bewitched and The Partridge Family, just to name a few ... October 6, 2008

Nostalgia with the click of the remote

Wow! It has been so many years since I've seen the Flying Nun! And, when I did watch it, it was reruns in the early 70's. I loved the show then, (as a kid) and I love it even more now! (as a Mom) It is lighthearted, fun, at times even inspirational. You truly do forget the "real" world for awhile, and just enjoy this sweet show made for families. My 9 year old daughter really likes it. So, enjoy your trip down memory lane--Captain Fomento is VERY funny, Sister Jacqueline is refreshing, Carlos is as handsome/charming as ever, and Sally Field is a gem. Treat yourself like I did, you won't be sorry! July 1, 2008

Flying Nun - Flying High

The 2nd Season of The Flying Nun picks-up where the 1st Season leaves off. Sally Field does a wonderful job with her entire returning cast of characters. Again, in each humorous episode a problem occurs which must be creatively solved by The Flying Nun. The show encourages humor, creativity, and the idea that any problem can be solved with the Flying Nun and the help of a few friends.

This is a wonderful show for the whole family. It is safe for even the youngest family members to watch and can truly be classified as wholesome family entertainment. May 12, 2008

Idyllic fluff . . .

For some of the lightest, most innocuous entertainment, check out The Flying Nun. The convent San Tanco in Puerto Rico, is an almost idyllic place, virtually devoid of violence, anger, and crime, where a mean spirited word is almost never heard. Sister Bertrille (Sally Field), and the other nuns encounter bumps in life, but they are almost always gentle ones, overcome without too much fuss. The inspired and goofy premise that powerful wind gusts acting on Bertrille's cornet, would cause the lightweight nun to defy gravity and take flight, is the element that helps make the series memorable. Special effects are a small, but critical element, mostly involving people suspended on wires, but there are a few breathtaking `flight' sequences as well. Executive producer Harry Ackerman had a long history in family TV, including Bewitched, which featured a good deal of special effects. Ackerman and Field had previously worked together on the TV version of Gidget.

The same cast returns for the second season. Sister Jacqueline (Marge Redmond) is the leader of the sisters, and often runs interference for Sister Bertrille. The Reverend Mother (Madeline Sherwood) balances morality and practicality, and shows great wisdom and patience in dealing with a most unusual nun. Perky Sister Sixto (Shelly Morrison) continues to amuse, in butchering the English language. Carlos (Alejandro Rey) is the most harmless of `playboys', and the most beneficent of casino operators, and can always be counted on for assistance. Versatile Vitto Scotti joins the cast as a semi-regular, playing the local policeman.

The Flying Nun is a sweet and innocent slice from the past. Too good to be true even then, it may still give cause to reflect on how much times have changed.
