Can YOU imagine pitching this show back in 1967?

Well its a story about a hot little cutie, that just so happens is a NUN, and she only weighs 90 pounds, and when she puts on the costume, she can FLY!
Where does she fly to?
Well she flys over to Alejandro Rey's place and he gives her money...

Can she sing?

considering it was the 60's, and TV had Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, etc, not all that far fetched.

That's true a lot of bizarre scenarios going on there.
a Sexy genie in a bottle lusting for an astronaunt,
a witch that is not allowed to interfere with the daily working struggles of a business man (but does anyway)...
I can understand why Major Nelson kept his cool job, but an ad exec who would never have to work again?
TV land was fantasy, what we wanted! Why now do people want reality?

Not to mention ''MY MOTHER THE CAR''.

Or Giligan's Island, My Living Doll (although I see where Dick Wolf got the idea for Mann & Machine!) The Baileys Of Balboa, The Second Hundred Years, The Ugliest Girl In The World, and last but not least, Me & The Chimp!

...and don't forget "It's About Time" a show where two astronauts traveled back in time and encountered cavemen who spoke English!

I was speaking about It's About Time just yesterday. I mentioned that I had a Just About time lunchbox.

Or how about a group of WWII POWs in Germany? Maybe a guest appearance once in a while by some member of the Gestapo to liven things up.
