The Flying Nun Knowledge Base

[BurtWorm]

This ought to be a challenge: to build an encyclopedia of knowledge about the 1960s show "The Flying Nun" one fact at a time.

I'll go first: Her name was Sister Bertrille.

1. Hmmm. A guy with a nun fascination

I wonder what Freud would say about that. :shrug:

[BurtWorm]

3. Freud had a nun fascination?

;)

You're supposed to add a fact! Do you have any Flying Nun facts? Like who played her, for example? (That's an easy one!) What network was it on? What night of the week? Where did it take place?

11. I had a crush on the flying nun.

Can I go to hell for that?

[BurtWorm]

14. I think you were kind of supposed to.

I think you were kind of supposed to hope she and Carlos would make out, too.

8. Holy cow!

No pun intended. This thread's for you, NSMA! It was on ABC. It was set in San Juan.

10. I knew that and Sister Bertrille's maiden name was Ellie *something*

can't remember that...but I did like the show when I was a kid :D

[BurtWorm]

13. You've got me beat by a mile!

I don't even know why I posted this. I watched that show relgiously (pun intended) as a kid, but I don't remember all that much about it. I think I've listed all my facts. I was thinking about it the other day though out of the blue and wondering if a knoweldge base could be built up around such an obscure show. It was a bit of a phenomenon.
