Did you know that movie star Sally Fields hated playing her titular character on the series The Flying Nun and did you know that a failed 1970s series called Supertrain was the most expensive show ever produced upon its premiere? The 1970s was inarguably a great decade for television, producing many series that have gone on to stand the test of time. However, for every series that has persevered in the annals of popular culture, there are other series that have understandably been forgotten. There were plenty of duds that premiered on television in the 1970s, and we’ll be taking a look at some of the most notable in this video!

Many of the failed sitcoms of the 1970s were unsuccessful spin-offs. Spin-offs became a huge thing on television during the 1970s, and nearly every successful series resulted in at least one or two attempts by the producers to branch a character off onto their own show. Some of the unsuccessful spin-offs of the 1970s include The Ropers and Mr. T and Tina. The Ropers was a spin-off of Three’s Company that focused on the landlords from that series. Though the characters worked on Three’s Company, they failed to entertain audiences on their own. Mr. T and Tina was a spin-off of Welcome Back, Kotter featuring a character that was barely even in the latter series.
Besides those failed spin-offs, there are also plenty of original series that failed to make the grade during the 1970s. Some such series include Supertrain, which was the most expensive show ever produced at the time but sadly failed to connect with audiences. Other shows we’ll be taking a look at including Holmes & Yoyo, The Flying Nun, and The Brady Bunch Hour. Join Facts Verse as we take a look at the worst sitcoms of the 70s.

_The Flying Nun_ is not really a 70s show. The show premiered in September 1967 and was cancelled in April 1970. Since the final episodes were filmed in 1969 it shouldn't qualify as 70s series. I was 9 years old in 1967 and liked _The Flying Nun._ My parents were strict about watching TV but they never complained about Sister Batril, (?)

I can't figure out what criteria you use to determine The Flying Nun is one of the worst sitcoms of the 70s. As you point out, the audiences of the time liked it and it was successful. The fact the star didn't like it does not mean it's one of the worst.

"The Flying Nun" was definitely more of a 60s show than a 70s show. It fit right in with the weirdness and kookiness of the television sitcom of the decade that had witches, genies, two "monster" families, a talking horse, a woman reincarnated as a car, a beautiful robot girl, astronauts in the Stone Age, and a Martian. Even many of the less "outlandish" sitcoms still had weirdness and kookiness in them -- "Gilligan's Island", "The Beverly Hillbillies", and "Green Acres" to name a few.

Mr T (Pat Morita) would go on to become a much bigger star thanks to the Karate Kid films. Here in the UK, we had the original version of Three's Company, called Man About the House. The set up was the same, two girls shared a flat with a man, and it also featured the landlord and landlady, George and Mildred. They had a successful spin-off series called George and Mildred, which ran for five series. Apparently there would have been six if it wasn't for the tragic early death of Yootha Joyce who played Mildred. I was very young when it was on but I remember Yootha Joyce's death. George and Mildred was recently repeated and I have to say it was still very funny, forty years after it was made.

Yootha Joyce was married for a long time to Glynn Edwards, who played the barman Dave in Minder. After they divorced they remained friends. At the end she was drinking very heavily and her liver and kidneys just couldn't cope. I saw George and Mildred recently and it is still funny, and plays, as many 70s TV shows did, on the class divide between George and Mildred and their more middle-class neighbours. Also Yootha Joyce has a certain sexiness about her tbh.

Here's an interesting bit of trivia: John Wayne wanted Sally Field to play the part of Mattie Ross in "True Grit". If he had gotten his way, she might have been a movie star much sooner! The producer went with Kim Darby because she was more recognizable at the time. Personally, I thought Ms. Darby's performance was too prissy (Mattie was supposed to be a tomboy), so it's interesting to think how Sally Field might have handled the role.

I often wondered if The Flying Nun would have been as popular if she didn't fly and wasn't supposed to. I also think that had ABC renewed Gidget it would have been a hit as well. Sally Field has said that she wished Gidget had continued. The Flying Nun is just an embarrassment to her, even though many people enjoyed the series at the time.

after Gidget was canceled it continued over that summer and then suddenly became a huge hit--however, ABC wouldn't reverse their decision and bring the show back. Sally Field loved doing Gidget (she was very close to her TV father Don Porter) and was pushed into doing the Flying Nun by her step-father Jock Mahoney who told her that her career would be "dead" if she didn't do it

"The Flying Nun" was the '60s (1967-70). I enjoyed it (even though I'm an atheist, I like that it didn't get so much into preachiness, just people helping each other & it was cute & clever), along with both "Holmes & Yoyo" & "Mr. T & Tina". "The Brady Bunch Hour" was cheesy but fun. It's also not a sitcom. I say the worst sitcom of the decade, by far, is "Maude".

You noted in summation about “The Flying Nun” that Sally Fields was coming off of the successful sitcom “Gidget” when she was cast in “The Flying Nun.” To be clear, “Gidget” was not successful. A lot of money and hype surrounded “Gidget” but it proved a ratings failure ranking 68th for the season; it was cancelled after its first season. In terms of 1st season Nielsen ratings, “The Flying Nun” was popular - it ranked #1 in the kids demographic, and #6 for teens; overall it ranked #34 for season one. Ratings dipped in season two and three.

arnold from happy days as mr. t pre a team mr. t. and the ropers worked as supporting cast on three's company. they couldn't carry a whole show. just like flo worked on alice, not as her own sitcom. and the bradys variety show had failure written all over it. trying to watch the whole cast try to dance and carry a tune was painful to say the least. greg and marcia had singing ability only florence had that ability to do both. plus jan never wanted to be there and had to be replaced. and lots of spin off shows failed back then. mtm, all in the family had a whole bunch of spin offs. the jeffersons was a hit. the one with flo the maid not so much. rhoda lasted a few years. phyllis and the stivics not so much. sometimes it is overkill trying to weed out spin offs off a successful sitcom/show. and speaking of the ropers the other threes company spin-off/continuation threes a crowd was worse than the ropers. no one wanted to see the woman hungry jack tripper now living in a relationship with a woman who didn't want to marry him with the nosy father always around. nothing funny about that. also happy days spin off mork and mindy worked for first two years until abc married them and gave them a full grown baby. that ruined m and m. the other one-joanie loves chachi-sucked. baio did better on charles in charge with the kid from eight is enough. and does anyone remember the sanford and son spin-off 'grady'?.

I forgot about Grady. That one should have been on this list.

S & S wasn't good with spin offs. In addition to Grady there was the god-awful Sanford Arms. Even bringing back Red Foxx on Sanford didn't help.
