Hollywood - In an effort to boost sagging ratings, NBC will air a new drama in July featuring a group of crime-solving Nuns who travel the world taking down the worst of the "bad guys."
In the two-hour premier of "Nuns with Guns", the good sisters are called to the Vatican where Pope Leo XI (Chuck Norris), a former karate champion and Benedictine, has begun cleaning out the riff raff in the church. This "Pontiff with a punch" understands the concept of tough love, and after an attempt on his life, calls on the sisters to solve the mystery and save the day.
Norris will lend his voice to the show weekly as he gives the 10 nuns their assignments over the phone, and will return occasionally in person to lend his karate skills to the fight. As sister Mary Catherine (Kate Mulgrew) puts it, "Finally! A pope that kicks ass!"
"Nuns with Guns" is slated for the 9PM hour on Monday nights and promises to appeal to the coveted "monastic audience" and families of every faith.
In the fall, NBC will debut a sitcom in which the Vatican sends a nun to work in a large corporation. Sister Judith (Melanie Griffith) has a mind for business and a bod that is packed into a low-cut habit. "Nun of My Business" will air on Thursdays at 8PM.
