In the Beginning

Comedy

The series featured the relationship between stuffed-shirt, conservative priest Father Cleary and liberal, streetwise nun Sister Agnes (known as "Aggie") that run a ghetto mission together in Baltimore. While Aggie was from the area and enjoyed the assignment, Father Cleary had difficulty dealing with her (frequently referring to her as "Attila the Nun"), as well as the neighborhood prostitutes, hustlers and winos.
