The Flying Nun - The Complete First Season

The picture and sound quality on this set are both great, but I'm giving "The Flying Nun: Season 1" four out of five stars on two minor points: the lack of bonus material (except for a brief but informative interview with Sally Field), and the omission of the original "Screen Gems" logo at the end of all but one episode included here.To fans of sixties tv (and mostly we're the ones who are buying these sets), the logo is as much a part of these shows as the opening and closing credits. I understand why Sony would want to include their own logo at the very end of each episode, but I hope they will also restore the Screen Gems logo not only to future releases of this series, but to the end of all Screen Gems shows from this era (Monkees, I Dream of Jeannie, Hazel, etc.)Also, it would be nice to see some of the network promos I remember on ABC included as extras; I'd be willing to pay a few dollars extra for each set just for the nostalgia of being able to watch these again.....

I'm a big fan of the 60's sitcoms, when innocence still dominated prime-time. The Flying Nun is a perfect example of how much fun television used to be. Sally Field was perfect for this role. She was bright, energetic, and funny. The rest of the cast took their roles very seriously, but still acted with much warmth and heart.Although this show is very innocent by today's standards, there was some sexual innuendo throughout the show with Carlos and his "lady-friends". But you really had to read between the lines for that.The special effects on the show are dated by today's standards, but were very much first rate for the 1960's. The sound on the episodes has been restored to original quality. The picture quality is fabulous. I just recently viewed an old videotape of the Flying Nun from when Screen Gems had "vintage episodes" tapes, and the difference is remarkable. It's like going from rabbit ears to cable.This is a fun show for kids and kids at heart like myself. If you like fun fantasy and have never seen "The Flying Nun", check out the show that made Sally Field a household name.

The Flying Nun(1967-1970) is a fun, squeaky clean TV show from the 1960's. Sally Field has no special feelings toward it. She claims it almost ruined her career. The show is based on a children's book called The 15th Pelican. Field plays Sister Bertrille, a 98 pound nun from the United States of America who is transfered to a crumbling church in Puerto Rico. Her clothing and the strong tropical winds give her the ability to fly. The Flying Nun was spoofed on The Simpsons with Bart waiting for Homer to pick him up from soccer practice. During a storm, Bart sees Sister Bertrille smash into a hill and explode into a fireball. The visual effects used to make Sally Field fly are quite good. Alejandro Rey plays a nightclub owner who befriends Sister Bertrille. The show's upbeat, whimsical music is good. The Flying Nun is a guilty pleasure from the past.

I had forgotten how wonderful this show was until I got this recently! How fun! The flying effect is almost hilarious, you can see the lines at times as she flies and it is just so low tech compared to what we are used to nowadays! I loved the fun running plot of the gambling womanizing wealthy man on the island all of a sudden helping the convent after seeing the Flying Nun fly. And seeing the hip portrayals of go go dancers in cages, etc. at Carlos' casinos is aged and funny too. Sally Field moves on from Gidget into this role with spunk: she comments when the sisters pick her up upon arriving at the convent that she was recently arrested at a free speech rally! The scenery is stunning: the red-tiled roof of the convent hanging on the cliff over the ocean is gorgeous...not sure where they filmed those shots, but the old cobbled streets and tight neighborhoods look authentic. A light-hearted, kindly tv series worthy of a second watch.

I LOVE SALLY FIELD SISTER BERTRILLE AND CARLOS and The Theme to FLYING NUN MY BEST MEMORIES GROWING UP, listening busy on the go , go, all the time. Now get to watch SOMETIMES episodes and i just cry the Treasures i missed handling business as an early youth selling records in our 3 family business stores --Thank God they were successful back then or i would have an even bigger reason to cry and regrets. There is no era like SIMPLE PLEASURES ARE THE BEST ARE THE BEST IN ALL THE WORLD (Van Camps) theme pork and beans. That is what Flying Nun & That Girl IS The simple pleasures that WERE and STILL are the BEST to me anyway. God Bless Them Both as they say in The Air Force….GOOD JOB, FIVE STARS :)

Hadn’t seen this series since it was originally on in the ‘60s.Funny and sweet. Sally Field was a riot

For those who call it squeaky clean, it's Not. There is a playboy as a main character. He drinks, owns a bar and dance hall (where we focus on a lot of women in tight clothes shaking their a$$es, and revealing cleavage.) He tries hard to get a new woman each time to go away with him for a weekend. There's lots of snogging. He owns a yacht where we view rows of bikini stuffers, and if not there, then at the pool. Sprinkling in a few bad actors playing nuns doesn't make it clean.It's goofy, silly, and shows the 7 deadly sins as cute, fun, and apparently fools some viewers into believing it's wholesome. No wonder the world's a mess if we consider this good entertainment.

The discs play clear and are well packaged. There is a good featurette starring Sally field that gave a certain insight into the show, Sally's state of mind while it was being produced and the times of the show.The series itself is very light and easy to watch (in small doses, for me).I recommend this if you like Sally Field, very light comedy, sitcoms of the sixties or easy family viewing shows.

Many hours of fun are guaranteed with these wonderful episodes! I love them and watch them over and over again!

昔なんとなく見たような気がして懐かしくなり、英語字幕も付いていると表示されていたので購入。　　英語字幕は無かった、スペイン語とポルトガル語字幕のみ、なので星一つマイナス。　　　返品しようと思ったけど内容がとても良かったのでそのまま購入。　　英語も聞いていて解りやすい。　　何よりドラマの内容が良い、昔たぶん一、二回見たことが有る程度だったけどやっぱり買って良かった。　　プエルトリコの修道院に新しく赴任したシスターの巻き起こす楽しく心温まるお話。　　このシスターは体重がとても軽くてシスターの帽子（？）に風を受けて飛ぶことができるのです。　　　　主演はサリーフィールド、失礼だけどよく見るとネプチューンの名倉みたいな顔（スイマセン！）、なのにとっても可愛い、愛らしい、バイタリティに溢れていて人生を前向きに生きる人の輝きに満ちている！！　　　　　　演技力も凄い。　他の人がこの時代のアメリカについて詳しく書いていたけど、これもその頃の希望に溢れて良心的だった頃の、人の良い面だけを描いた楽しいドラマ。　ワイヤーが堂々と映っているけどそれもご愛敬　本人はクレーンで吊られて物みたいに扱われて・・とか言っていた　歌うシーンではそこだけもろ音質が違ってたりとかするけど　そんなところも愛せてしまう作品

Well, i was happy at first to see it, but I've lost interest in it after 5 or 6 episodes.

青春時代に流行ったドラマです。モンキーズのデイビージョーンズの大ファンだった頃、主役のサリーフイールドと付き合っていたことから彼女のファンにもなりました。チャーミングな彼女にピッタリの役です。

I enjoyed very much the opportunity to laugh as I remember when I watched this series at a much younger age.
