Sister Kate is an American sitcom that aired on NBC during the 1989–1990 television season.
The series stars Stephanie Beacham as Sister Kate, a nun who is transferred from an archeological dig to Redemption House, an orphanage. Sister Kate is put in charge of a group of unwanted orphans who, due to their scheming ways, have already run off three priests. Storylines involved Sister Kate (nicknamed "Sister Mary Rambo") matching wits with the kids, and the kids' potential adoptions.
Sister Kate premiered on Saturday, September 16, 1989 at 9:30 EST, and was moved to 8:00 EST on Sundays for the remainder of its run. The low-rated series was canceled after eighteen episodes, due to competition from ABC's America's Funniest Home Videos, and the first half of CBS's Murder, She Wrote.
Rob Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan appeared as Milli Vanilli in the January 7, 1990 episode "Eugene's Feat", speaking a few lines in their natural voices before (what was later revealed to be) lip-synching their hit "Blame It on the Rain". In an especially ironic turn, one of the children got the duo to "perform" at the orphanage through deception.
The series theme song, "Maybe An Angel", was performed by pop star Amy Grant and written by Brian Rawlings and Mason Cooper.
