{"title":"The Flying Nun","dateDebut":"1967","dateEnd":"1970","description":"The subject of this comedy was Sister Bertrille, a bright,\r\nexuberant young novice who brightened the lives of all at the\r\nancient Convent San Tanco, situated on a hilltop near San Juan,\r\nPuerto Rico. Not the least of Sister Bertrille's attributes was\r\nthat she could fly. How? Well, \"when lift plus thrust is greater\r\nthan load plus drag,\" any object can fly, including Sister Bertrille,\r\nwho weighed only 90 pounds. Whenever a stiff wind caught the\r\nstarched cornette worn by her order, off she went. These\r\naerodynamics were not always pleasant.\r\n\r\n\r\nTheme Song Lyrics\r\n\r\nWho needs wings to fly?\r\nCertainly not I.\r\nI prefer to take upon the breeze.\r\nFollow any swallow that may please my fancy.\r\nI just close my eyes.\r\nTiptoe through the skies.\r\nLong as there's a heaven standing by,\r\nWho needs things like wings to fly?\r\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n \r\n\r\nTHE FLYING NUN\/ABC\/1967-70\r\n\r\nSally Field as Sister Bertrille (Elsie Ethrington) \r\nMarge Redmond as Sister Jacqueline \r\nMadeleine Sherwood as Rev.
