Sister Bertrille would still be flying, but in 1977 or so she met Junior Justice, son of the sheriff of Texarkana. She left the order to marry Junior, but then got cold feet and left him at the altar. She ended up meeting a bootlegger named Bandit and helped him transport Coors beer to GA and later on bring Charlotte the elephant from Miami, FL to Austin, TX. Wow, has she had a crazy life or what?
this chick is way to hot to be a nun! she should use her flying ability to fly onto my cock and please me sexually, as is common practice in Madagascar.
Drsinister,that was kinda smart ass to say to her,but I didn't think they would still be wearing those iconic habits. The Daughters of Charity order quit wearing those at least here in the US almost 50 years ago! Oh SGH28N try a threater shop,they should have the whole habit .
I just love this version of the theme song. It has a little more of a Latin beat than the frist theme . I would also love to see some of the old tv shows from the 50 & 60's in color on DVD. Like I Love Lucy, Munsters, Patty Duke & others.
I went down to brazil the other day, saw one of these nuns and asked her if she could fly me out of here. She scowled at me and called me a heathen...
I always understood this was the opening when the show went into syndication...I've see the original with the Colgate-Palmolive logo, that just lists the cast without putting a name with a shot of the performer.
The Flying Nun was okay, I guess, but if you ask me, the pinnacle of '60s television had to be that laugh-fest, tummy-riot of a show My Mother The Car. Who ever conceived that gem of prime-time, broadcast entertainment was an absolute genius!

We started out in the 60's with a story about nuns and Sidney Potier in "Lilies of the Field", The Singing Nuns and their hit song"Dominique", "Sound of Music" with Julie Andrews aspiring to become a nun, Sally field in "The Flying Nun" and then finally the trendy wine "Blue Nun".
this tv show is a reference to some real life situations that happened about 100-300 years ago. some of them involve prince charles and his experiences and insight regarding some paranormal happenings.
@the60sKid Thanks for the background on the author, never knew that..just knew when I was a kid I lOved to watch this show. You know? back in the day when there was a time and place for everything and writing (crap like) some of what's below would be totally unheard of...
The daughters of charity at the Convent Santanco were shocked. a nun doesn't fly! But Siter Bertrille upset more rules than the rules of gravity, and soon the convent, the mother superior and the town of San Juan were shaken by her antics. Basis for the Hit television series, this wonderful story of a flying nun is modern classic of humor chosen by Best-in Books and a selection of the Catholic Digest and Catholic Family Books.
This show WAS based on a book published in 1966 by Marie Teresa Ríos who was Puerto Rican - American and a devout Catholic . She served as a pilot for the Civil Air Patrol in WWII and became a writer after. The book was dedicated to her son who was captured in Vietnam and was executed by his captors as a POW while serving there in 1965.
Who the FUCK thought it would be a great idea to make a show about a nun who could for some reason fly??? I like how in every episode, no matter the problem, it could always be resolved by the anti-gravity abilities of Sally Field.
Sally Field needed Boniva back then even. Her bones were so hollow and light that she could take flight. But be careful, for being a flying nun could become habit forming
@the60sKid Oh, I get it . . . Thrust . . . load . . . some sort of a sexual reference? And the flying is equated to an orgasm? Or maybe I'm just a pig . . .
@elc1960 No, just a PIG. That is the "Silly" explanation given in the show to EXPLAIN "Why"she could fly.
And from your some of the comments here your in GOOD company of having you mind in a gutter like SO many people who have to tie a SEXUAL context to EVERYTHING.
@the60sKid Lighten up, dude. I was alive back then and remember the show well. My remark was merely a joke. I remember Sally Field saying the "lift plus thrust" line many times during the show's run. You didn't see me make reference to "camel toe" like some of the others here, did you? Of course not. In fact, I made a comment further down the page defending the show when someone (algavin47) made a remark about the show being the stupidest of all time.
I remember watching these reruns back in the summer of 1974. I was only 6, and the only reason why I even remember this show is because the nun was my first tv crush. The Bionic Woman, Wonder Woman, and Charlie's Angels were two years away.
that old grey haired pervert who every Sunday morning right before they would sit down (in her case lean back) he would catch the "breeze" of the sacred air (her pus*y fumes and start drooling real thick while Sally leaned back with the boxing glove "rubbing" her lips,hips,snips and sweet smelling "schmips" that's german for pus*y lips and then the show would go on in a much friendly atmosphere with Sally laughing all the way to the bank with a soaking wet "soothing" snatch while the camera man!
Well, the more i think about it the picture becomes much "clearer" -- After reviewing the beginning of this clip with her spinning around in mid-air and after reviewing it with my high powered "1967" spy like magnifying glass, she isnt wearing any panties -- She appears to have a boxing glove (Everlast) stuffed real "hard" right down the middle of her snatch and this would account for the "brutal" sesions of poundings she would endure each time she would go in the back room with ***GO UP PLEASE
The flying nun is a constant joke between me and my friend only it's just a normal nun outfit and we use it either on windy days or when we're extremely bored.
The concept that people actually loved shows this innocent is lost on today's youth who watch TV to enjoy human vivisection, serial killing, and soft porn, all to the latest pop hits.
I'm not a religious zealot and I don't mean to set off a tediously pointless slanging match on YouTube, but isn't the whole idea behind this 60s show just a teensy bit too silly? Would anything like this ever get made today, with or without the delightful Sally Field?
@cinematedman I take your point that tv used to be fun, as well as the comments from other posters about the innocence of it all in days gone by. I only just remember the programme from the original time, and I don't mean to be negative - all I'm saying is, when I see clips like this now, I am genuinely amazed how someone managed to pitch this quite off-the-wall idea to a tv network and get it accepted and actually made!
@nmlt5398, what are you talking about?Silly, senseless stuff if being put on the air all the time!! All the good shows get cancelled so some piece of crap show that is utterly ridiculous can take its place!!! Besides, its only for entertainment purposes. If you don't like a show, then you didn't have (or have to in the present tense) to watch it.That is why all the good quality shows get taken off. Everyone wants the super silly, stupid shows on.
@ProudKansan08 I didn't say I didn't LIKE it, just that it seems to me now (as it did at the time, though I was very young) that it was a little too far-fetched, despite being warm and funny. It's true good stuff gets cancelled for poor quality stuff all the time, but what's good and what's poor is all a matter of opinion, I suppose.......
I remember watching this show as a kid and thinking Reverend Mother was a wicked control freak, always angry and ruthless. Now, she seems pretty laid back for a manager of a convent.
I think we could update this series a bit and make it a smash tor 2011. Call it "The Flying Jesuit" - a priest at a midwestern Jesuit university parties a bit too much in the dorms and, after climbing upon the roof to take off like Superman, discovers he actually can fly.
Let me guess where this concept came from. A producer was on drugs at church, saw nuns, and imagined one to be like superman and could fly. And then after his staff shared a bowl with him, they suggested some comedy.
@jsicolts honey.. all of us gals use to pretend we were the entire Thursday night line up... Flying Nun, Bewitched and That Girl... for years I wore my sunglasses on top of my head like Ann Marie from That Gerl... and also flew around the yard like Sister Bertrille... it's the right of passage for all of us old queens!!!
@bearguy217 You have no idea how much you posting your comment meant to me. I thought I was all alone in this world back then when I, a young boy, wanted to be just like the Flying Nun, Samantha, and yes of course, That Girl.
@kawachi The Fling Nun & That Girl themes are by the same man, Dominic Frontiere. His wiki is astounding !!! From childhood accordion prodigy playling Carnegie Hall at 12 to winding up in the Federal Pen after scamming USD 500,000 scalping 16 THOUSAND 1980 super bowl tix ( his wife owned the LA Rams). Nice article on him at Space Age Pop as well. Come check out my 700 playlists covering the music of every year since 1900. Aded this to the 1967 playlist. chuck
I find this TV show an abomination and an affront to Christ.
Just kidding.
If you want a really good read, pick up the American Heritage coffee-table book "History of Flight." Within the first chapter is a tale of "The Flying Monk of Cupertino." - the legend of a monk who purportedly flew in the witness of credible observers ; all in the 16th century.

Alejandro Rey new how sweet that tight,moist pussy would be..He was always tryn to get down The Flying Nuns' panties.. We all know it.. Think he wanted those old frigid bitches?? NO, he wanted young fresh pussy..Virgin pussy
This was the 60's. The era I grew up in. Fantasy based stories dominated TV at the time. It was ridiculous, but we understood that, and enjoyed it for what it was.
@b30307 inorder for an actress of sally's stature to play 97lbs on screen she would have had to be at LEAST 10 lbs under that weight. Knowing actresses, she was proly 20lbs underweight. Don't you know how Hollyweird works, ESPECIALLY in the 60's? that would have put her, a grown woman, at 5'2" & 77 lbs. In third grade I was roughly 5'1" and 85lbs. My family called me Bonezilla. Dig?
@lorimneal She wasn't frighteningly anorexic because before she did The Flying Nun, she did Gidget, and she wore bikinis in Gidget, and she didn't look anorexic. Also, while she was filming The Flying Nun, she was pregnant with her first son.
I did like The Flying Nun when it was first on.Of course I also admire Sally Field for going further in films and television.She wouldn't be typecast!
@algavin47 "Stupidest show of all time"? Not by a long shot . . . I remember "My Mother, the Car" about a guy whose Mom dies and is reincarnated as an old-time automobile. Or "Dusty's Trail", which was Gilligan from "Gilligan's Island" in the Old West. "The Flying Nun" doesn't even scratch the surface of stupidity. And don't even get me started about TV commercials - a 100 foot tall green man selling peas and corn? A white knight on horseback selling detergent?
I know what you mean! I wanted to find where Mr. Ed lived just so I could talk to a talking horse and I also wanted to find the neighborhood from "Mother in Laws" because I wanted to spend one day with those 2 funny families. Oh our young innocent minds!
If you're going to fight, pick a spot and go fight --if not shut up and get off the internet. You guys are the worst. BUnch of loudmouthed hairless pussies talking crap and hiding behind anonymity and your mom's saggy labia.
I loved the episode where she smashed into the side of a 1967 Buick Wildcat, and her points were all frigged up. Godamm and sunovabitch such a beautiful car. !
Gee, all this ugly fighting and quibbling over a theme song to a funny show. Come on, now. Everyone take a deep breath and take a chill pill. As far as I'm concerned, there is no reason for such a hotly, and nasty debate to be going on. Its just a song, after all, not a documentary.
@ProudKansan08 some people love fighting, they live for it. Don't try to change them, only they can change themselves. Ignore them, enjoy life and hope they do too, someday.
Thanks for the memory! If I remember right, Sister Bertrille only weighed 97 lbs and it was the combination of her weight, the hat to her habit, and the winds that blew on the island where the convent was that allowed her to fly at certain times. This is television when it still had real talent and ideas. And doesn't Sally Field still look great today even though she used Boniva! : )
@OKSteve , "real talent and ideas"????? The Flying Nun???? Surely you jest. Television viewers by this time were literally starving for the revolution that was about to happen in television, starting with All in the Family and Mary Tyler Moore -- literate sh

@ProudKansan08 I didn't say I didn't LIKE it, just that it seems to me now (as it did at the time, though I was very young) that it was a little too far-fetched, despite being warm and funny. It's true good stuff gets cancelled for poor quality stuff all the time, but what's good and what's poor is all a matter of opinion, I suppose.......

I remember watching this show as a kid and thinking Reverend Mother was a wicked control freak, always angry and ruthless. Now, she seems pretty laid back for a manager of a convent.

I think we could update this series a bit and make it a smash tor 2011. Call it "The Flying Jesuit" - a priest at a midwestern Jesuit university parties a bit too much in the dorms and, after climbing upon the roof to take off like Superman, discovers he actually can fly.

Let me guess where this concept came from. A producer was on drugs at church, saw nuns, and imagined one to be like superman and could fly. And then after his staff shared a bowl with him, they suggested some comedy.

@StanBennet No, the concept actually came from a book, written by Tere Rios.

Flying Nun, Bewitched and That Girl... for years I wore my sunglasses on top of my head like Ann Marie from That Gerl... and also flew around the yard like Sister Bertrille... it's the right of passage for all of us old queens!!!

@bearguy217 You have no idea how much you posting your comment meant to me. I thought I was all alone in this world back then when I, a young boy, wanted to be just like the Flying Nun, Samantha, and yes of course, That Girl.

This theme, along with those from "That Girl!" and "Bewitched" are classic examples of the lush arrangements of 1960 TV themes. A classic!

@kawachi you called it! Henry Mancini, et al. Great orchestrations for TV programs. Not to mention all the jazz greats who worked on TV themes.
theschizoidman 1 year ago
@kawachi The Fling Nun & That Girl themes are by the same man, Dominic Frontiere. His wiki is astounding !!! From childhood accordion prodigy playling Carnegie Hall at 12 to winding up in the Federal Pen after scamming USD 500,000 scalping 16 THOUSAND 1980 super bowl tix ( his wife owned the LA Rams). Nice article on him at Space Age Pop as well. Come check out my 700 playlists covering the music of every year since 1900. Aded this to the 1967 playlist. chuck

I find this TV show an abomination and an affront to Christ.
Just kidding.
If you want a really good read, pick up the American Heritage coffee-table book "History of Flight." Within the first chapter is a tale of "The Flying Monk of Cupertino." - the legend of a monk who purportedly flew in the witness of credible observers ; all in the 16th century.

lorimneal 1 year ago 42
@lorimneal
97lbs. for a girl that's 5'2" isn't anorexic.
This was the 60's. The era I grew up in. Fantasy based stories dominated TV at the time. It was ridiculous, but we understood that, and enjoyed it for what it was.
b30307 1 year ago
@b30307 inorder for an actress of sally's stature to play 97lbs on screen she would have had to be at LEAST 10 lbs under that weight. Knowing actresses, she was proly 20lbs underweight. Don't you know how Hollyweird works, ESPECIALLY in the 60's? that would have put her, a grown woman, at 5'2" & 77 lbs. In third grade I was roughly 5'1" and 85lbs. My family called me Bonezilla. Dig?

ThePaddyjoejr1 1 year ago
@lorimneal She wasn't frighteningly anorexic because before she did The Flying Nun, she did Gidget, and she wore bikinis in Gidget, and she didn't look anorexic. Also, while she was filming The Flying Nun, she was pregnant with her first son.

@Beautifulmusiclistnr Obviously, the guy who said that she was anorexic was trying to be funny. Clearly, she was a nascent saint.

@algavin47 "Stupidest show of all time"? Not by a long shot . . . I remember "My Mother, the Car" about a guy whose Mom dies and is reincarnated as an old-time automobile. Or "Dusty's Trail", which was Gilligan from "Gilligan's Island" in the Old West. "The Flying Nun" doesn't even scratch the surface of stupidity. And don't even get me started about TV commercials - a 100 foot tall green man selling peas and corn? A white knight on horseback selling detergent?

Thanks for the memory! If I remember right, Sister Bertrille only weighed 97 lbs and it was the combination of her weight, the hat to her habit, and the winds that blew on the island where the convent was that allowed her to fly at certain times. This is television when it still had real talent and ideas. And doesn't Sally Field still look great today even though she used Boniva! : )
