I've been wanting to post something on this tread for along time. Since last year I didn't think much of sally field. But since TFN i've fell head over heals in love with sally and bought every thing I culd find on sally.

Nope , I enjoy the show also

I also love this show, Sally is one of my favorites! I wish it would come out on DVD.

I also really liked to watch this show. I miss seeing the show on the air. It was a great show that the whole family could watch!

You're not the only one who loves Sally. ;) She's a beautiful woman.

She's beautiful,and really cute.I thought she was great as the flying nun and as Gidget.

Oh, yes! Sally was my second TV crush (after Annette Funicello of THE MICKEY
MOUSE CLUB). I loved her as both Gidget and Sister Bertrille and later she won
my respect and admiration in her Oscar-winning performance as Norma Rae.
Not just another pretty face but a very talented actress. She was the first female star to whom I wrote a fan letter (back in the sixties), and I still have the autographed photo the studio sent me.

..unfortunately, my friend in Lodi, California, seems to have this idea that virtually everyone else (beside me) HATES it. I keep trying to convince him that there ARE people who DO like it....but he keeps reading the "Jump the Shark" website and the "TV Land" message board and......I wish I could convince him otherwise...*sigh*

I love The Flying Nun, on payday I'm getting the first season of the Flying Nun. The thing I loved about Gidget was, that it was shot in the Bewitched house.

Gidget was not filmed in the Bewitched house.

The Flying Nun was a great show. When I watch it now, there are so many insightful and beautiful messages in the stories and scripts.

Oh yes it was, the living room was the same one used on Bewitched.

Oh yes it was, the living room was the same one used on Bewitched.

The Bewitched living room is used as one of the boyfriend's houses in "Chivalry Isn't Dead." Darrin Stephen's office is used in "Gidget's Career."

But, the Lawerence's living room is not the same one from Bewitched.


Edited to add screencaps from "Chivalry Isn't Dead" and "Gidget's Foreign Policy." Gidget and her friends are in Gidget's living room in the first 3 pics. The boys are on the Bewitched set in the last two.

...I used to like this show when I was growing up and it was on ABC (on Wednesday nights, I think) but when TV land showed it, I watched a couple episodes, and....well, let me put it this way....I don't blame Sally Field for hating the role. The show's AWFUL!!!!

I remember the above pics and I thought Gidget's living room was the Bewitched living room. Wasn't Gidget in B&W in the beginning? That's where I first noticed it.

I don't think it was in B & W; but you probably got confused because all 3 series were filmed at the same studio.

Are you saying Gidget was awful or TFN? I beg to differ on both, but I definitely will about TFN. It has become very fashionable to bash TFN, but there's nothing stranger about a flying nun than a flying Kansas farm boy, but we seem to look the other way for him. TFN was just as fanciful. It's picked on often because it had a light premise, and because "cool" people won't defend it. The writing was on the same level (or even a bit above) other shows of the time period. To slag it for its premise is irrational, imo.

I love all manner of sophisticated TV shows, movies and theatre, but I *still* love the Flying Nun, chiefly because of the relationship between Carlos and Sister Bertrille. I refuse to let others knock this sweet little show. So there. 80) End of rant.

Well said melodyc! Bewitched refrenced TFN when Uncle Arthur flew like Superman. He Flew from Sam's car and Sam said, "Uncle Arthur, you get down here now, the Flying Nun isn't gonna like it". or words to that effect. It was hilarious.

SMALLVILLE's Clark Kent is from another planet (Krypton), which explains his
flight (and other super powers). But there was also a logical explanation given
for Sister Bertrille's flight: her small size (90 pounds), the shape of the coronet (headgear) with sides that look like wings, and the strong, gusty winds in San
Juan, Puerto Rico. Works for me.

...'gidgetgrape', for Screen Gems/Columbia to "recycle" its sets (and its "suburban streets" on the "Columbia Ranch") back and forth throughout their other sitcoms during the same season. For example, if Samantha & Darrin's living room on "BEWITCHED" could be used again on "GIDGET" {"Chivalry Isn't Dead, It's Just Hiding"}, "I DREAM OF JEANNIE" {"Whatever Became Of Baby Custer?"}, and "THE FARMER'S DAUGHTER" {???}, it WAS. I'm pretty sure some "familiar" locations seen on "THE FLYING NUN" were seen on SG's other shows at the same time!!!

True tv knowledge, I seen or read an interview and one of the Actors said that Filmways was cheap and would recycle sets. They didn't even have a back lot and would use real houses as exterior shots, as in the case of the Beverly Hillbillies.

true. In a couple episodes of I DREAM OF JEANNIE, the Stevens house from BEWITCHED can be seen in the background. And, at least once on IDOJ that I know of; they showed Tony working in an office-and it was Darrin Stevens office.

And in another post on here, someone said that in the opening of HAZEL-which was also filmed at Screen Gems-you can see shots of some of the houses from I DREAM OF JEANNIE, BEWITCHED, and some of the other shows that were filmed there-DENNIS THE MENACE, THE DONNA REED SHOW among others.
