I remember watching this series during it's original run and liking it, but I was by no means a fanatic about it. Seeing the series today, it seems better than I remember. Going beyond the wild premise of a nun flying, which is no more fantastic than a horse talking or a witch or genie performing magical feats. The acting is very good by the entire cast and surprise! The writing and the stories are charming. One of my favorite episodes is"The Dig-In", which has a more or less serious story sans laugh track. Also, this episode is a two-character study, with Sr. Bertrille and an escaped convict. Really different. Don't listen to the many put-downs that this show has endured over the years. Give Sr. Bertrille and the other nuns a try.
