I now consider myself a TV.com nerd.

I'm not a full nerd. I'm not even a top 1000 user, I've never contributed to a person, and I only make sporadic boring blogs that elicit few or no comments.

But last Friday evening I discovered one of my shows had two retired editors and was up for acquirement. So I set to work on it fixing grammatical mistakes and found myself stuck without more things to correct. So I went out and bought the first season of it mainly to submit and hopefully become editor. I turned the episodes on while writing recaps, and this morning I came on to find I got what I wanted, and I now have a second show guide: The Flying Nun!

[crickets chirping]

You mean there's actually a TV show about a nun? A flying nun?!? Well, yes, and as silly as the premise sounds, and is, it's actually a very good show. I understand it was picked as one of the 50 worst TV shows, but such a ranking is unfair. It's quite entertaining. It would be almost as entertaining if Sister Bertrille couldn't fly. In the third episode, at least, she only flew once, and that was insignificant to the episode as a whole. It's always funny when you have a nun rollerskating or playing gin with women in bikinis!

It's actually based on a book that is now out of print called The Fifteenth Pelican. We actually bought a used copy a few years ago online. I didn't like the writing s-t-y-l-e when I read it, but I want to read it again now that I'm the editor of the show it inspired.

As of today, there are only 43 TV.com users tracking it including me. On the other hand, there are 281 people tracking my other guide, The Munsters. I get very few Munsters submissions, so my new guide will probably be in name only, and I will probably have to do very little. But it's still fun to be able to say I'm the editor.

I wanted to get the guide quickly and not dawdle, since I didn't want to get burned like last time. I am delighted to have the new guide--even if no one else cares about the obscure show.

Stay tuned to my blog for an important announcement sometime in the next month.
