When word of this stupid show came out, I did an essay called Because the "old Jesus" is so uncool and out-of-date.

I'm not much of one for conspiracy theory. But I can't imagine any group of rational people figuring that enough people are going to watch this to keep the show on the air. Unless they figure that with the success of "Desperate Housewives" anything goes. So perhaps it really is anti-Christian.

They do make it quite plain in the promos that he's an Episcopalian priest. He even speaks from a podium with the Episcopal shield on it. And I figure that they picked an Episcopalian priest because 1) they wear readily identifiable clerical garb, 2) they can marry, which adds characters and relationships that can be used as plot devices and 3) due to the VGR ordination, they have been in the news as having conflicts over the issue of homosexuals, which leads to other characters and plot lines.

I don't get it. NBC must have a death wish. It's not good for the future television in general either. This is what happens when your business is driven by ideology.

I'm strongly considering watching the initial episode. That way, I can identify the sponsors. I can also key off of specific things that happened in the episode when I write them, and thus what I write won't sound canned or written for me by an advocacy group.

Can't say I'm surprised. The commercials I've seen for this abomination are stupid at best.

I am going to watch it just to piss you guys off. LOL
Actually they will not play it in Italy so no big deal to me.

"AFA is calling on TV viewers to send a letter through its website... "

I already sent one...through MSNBC's website.

As soon as I know who is financing this debauchery, I will stop using their products!

NBC Draws Fire for Book of Daniel




But it gets a lot of praise from some
here on FR!!

What are the names of the writers, directors and producers of this show?

[familyop]

I'll help with such efforts after all of the religious groups in our USA outlaw adultery again. Until then,...

This show makes the dysfunctional Bundy family of ...Married With Children seem like Mr. and Mrs. Clean-Starched-Underwear.

Maybe it would help if Christians Hired a PR firm that did a PR blitz that said Christians chop off peoples heads, Blow innocent people up and stab their daughters to death if they step out of line.... I mean what can it hurt since they are treating us like we do those things anyway.

You see we wouldn't have to actually do those things, it would just be a branding kind of issue. Mearly capturing a specific marketing identity. We could still do all that "love your enemy stuff" but maybe just emphasis some new skills and abilities we can learn. (sarcasm off)

KCFW, our local NBC affiliate, asked several (three) potential viewers what they thought about TBOD.

All three of them couldn't formulate a complete sentence and blathered briefly about it.

Sadly, the third comment was from a retarded fellow, which makes it pathetic on so many levels.

I have pity for this third fellow, embarrassment for the two others and anger towards KCFW.
