Hold onto your cornets sisters!
I love the Flying Nun! I have some episodes that came out on VHS a few years ago. I will definetly be buying the DVDs! Lots of things i remember about this show: they had a Electrolux vacuum cleaner, an L or an E. The sisters were cleaning Mother Superiors office and the Lux was put on top of the desk and the exhaust blew all the papers off the desk and out the window. Of course, Sister Bertrille had to go flying on out to retrieve the papers. Another time Sister Bertrille was having a good flight when suddenly the wind stops and she drops like stone onto this little island and is stranded there because her cornet was ripped during the fall and also got wet. Carlos was also there because his boat ran out of gas and it was the first time Carlos had seen the usually perky Sister Bertrille so depressed because she was truly grounded so he repaired the cornet with vines for thread and starch from a plant!
Usually when it is really windy here in the desert, i sometimes say "Hold onto your cornets, Sisters!" no one knows what i'm talking about. Funny the things an introverted shy kid remembers from all those hours in front of the tube.

A real stroll down memory lane
I remember the previews for this show before it premiered. I couldn't WAIT for this show to debut! Television was so big in the sixties. Exciting concepts, new premises, ect.

I remember this series from being on Dutch TV. From what year is it actually? I remember watching it, but it wasn't my favourite.
According to IMDb.com~~~
The original run for this was 1967-1970.
We watched a few episodes too, but it wasn't a real favourite in our house, either. For some mysterious reason, Ma and I preferred "Daniel Boone" and "Here Come The Brides."

A lot of people just wanted to see a nun fly, but then...
the novelty quickly wore off. That's what I think.

a hard habit to break
The Flying Nun was an overnight hit when it debuted in Sept.1967.Not only was it the ONLY new sitcom to crack into the top 20,and regularly do so,it was #1 with children 6-11,#6 with 12-17ers,and was a top 10 in the TV-Q ratings,which some say were more important than the neilsens.TV-Q would ask numerous people if they are familiar and have watched a series,and is it a favorite.Over 80% of those surveyed just two months after the shows debut were already familiar with the show,and over 50% of them said it was a favorite.Those neilsen ratings are strange.TFN was almost always in the top-20 in season one,yet ended 34th for that 1967-68 season.You see,the final number is a seasonal average for the yearand about a dozen shows were in their rank by a shade of a decimal point,making it seem like FN was lower than it really was.The second season of TFN started with high ratings,but the awful,(sorry)Hawaii-Five-O began to nibble away FN's audience,but it did just well enough to aquire a third,final season.BTW,this neilsen thing.The Brady Bunch,a pop-culture phenomenon,from the second thru fourth season hovered between 20th-30th in the ratings weekly but showed up as 31st and 34th in its 2nd-3rd season as the final rank for that season,which based on that,many have said that it wasn't much of a hit in its original run.Actually,it was.After a slow start in Sept.1969,the Christmas 1969 episode about Carol losing her voice was the turning point from that week forward.Anyway,for more family fun,it's The Flying Nun.
