ABC has canceled its freshman series with the controversial title "GCB," which some believed mocked Christians, as it failed to attract enough viewership.

“Yet Hollywood will spend big money on military, Christian, gun owner, energy use bashing flicks; knowing that it’s money down the drain; just so they can feel good about trying.”
Any conservative, Christian or real Jew, who invests in any Follywood company is a double idiot.
How about: Stupid/ugly Muslum Bitches married to evil Islamofacist Serial Killers!
“Any conservative, Christian or real Jew, who invests in any Follywood company is a double idiot.”
Yep
Imagine what your loving liberal sister says about you when you’re not around if she calls you a prude to your face. I have a sister like that too. We don’t talk at all.
Thanks aimhigh.
I dearly hope they lost 10 million on this show....should be about right : )
I never saw it, but the title alone would have put me off wanting to. Maybe if they keep losing their shirts when they bash Christians, they’ll see the light?
Nah.
Nah...too evil.
I love my sister and we don’t talk politics because we do love each other. I blame her husband. They have been married 40 years and have basically become the same person.
WOW Never hear of that show trust me they probably working on script do America version they already doing American version on Doc Martin
I think in those days script writers know how write a story ME TV been showing here in SO CAL Big Valley, Bonazna original Hawaii Five O and other comedies show like Honeymooners, Twlight Zone, Untouchables and others
yes
I know nothing about Chenoweth beyond a quick Google search of the internet.
That turned up items such as the following which seem to make clear she's a professing liberal Christian who supports Barack Obama and is in favor of “homosexual marriage.”
My guess is the casting people deliberately selected her to avoid the claim that they are attacking Christians, but instead are making fun of hypocrisy. Ratings showed that viewers didn't buy it.

“Ms. Chenoweth, a Southern Baptist turned nondenominational Christian who doesn't drink or smoke, said her new album is the result of her growing awareness of her life's mission. ‘I feel my purpose is to be a Christian actress, to show people that there are nonjudgmental, liberal Christians,’ she said.”
Again, from an article entitled “She Sings! She Acts! She Prays!”:
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/03/theater/03Gree.html?pagewanted=all
““I maybe have a bit of career A.D.D.,” she explained. “But I always did five million jillion gazillion things a day.” Which may be what it takes to satisfy a personality that combines, in one tiny frame, faith in Jesus, sexpot allure, strict professionalism, insane girly-girliness, triple-threat talents and a steely, restless need to exploit them all to the fullest. She’s like a bag of puppies, each ambition tumbling over the others in a desire to get out. And sometimes those puppies bite.
“God knows I’ve made mistakes and been criticized for them,” Ms. Chenoweth said unflinchingly. (Some have even been turned into TV fiction on “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.”) “When I was promoting ‘As I Am’ last year,” she said, “I went on ‘The 700 Club,’ ” Pat Robertson’s talk show on the Christian Broadcasting Network. “I wasn’t thinking about what it represents. I guess I was living in a little bit of a bubble, and I was surprised that it upset so many people. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn’t go, because I don’t agree with that antigay stuff. I don’t understand what the big deal is with gay marriage. Get over it, people. What if it was a sin to be short? Well, I guess it is in the Miss Oklahoma pageant.” (She was the runner-up in 1991.)
But when she assured her theater fans that she supports gay rights her Christian base was outraged; she was disinvited from performing at a Women of Faith conference in September 2005. She drew further criticism when she appeared in a parade of tiny bikinis in the March 2006 issue of FHM. Though even her parents were uncomfortable, she’s stopped apologizing.
“I’m a young woman, I like men, I’m not going to pretend to be what I’m not,” she said. “Anyway, I’ve finally graduated from the college of I Don’t Give a Hoot.” But “hoot” was not her first choice of words.
If she’s surprisingly salty, it’s in part because she’s tired of trying to calibrate or camouflage her opinions. (She was wearing a Barack Obama for President button, and said she prays for him.) What she does onstage is difficult enough without wasting energy performing offstage too. As it is, she’s often awakened by work knocking around in her head. “Last night,” she said, “it was this line from ‘The Apple Tree’: ‘The Really Real Acting Academy has shown me that all my films, alas, are naught but tinkling trivia, sugary, shoddy, shallow shadows. Schlock.’ How am I going to say that? How am I going to make that funny? It’s so frustrating because people say, ‘It comes so easily to her,’ or ‘She’s just playing herself.’ Well, I work my butt off. These ideas don’t come from nowhere. You have to think them up. Sometimes I think until I think my head might explode.”

“Chenoweth relishes the part. ‘This series is exactly what I believe,’ she said. ‘I play a Christian on the show, and I am one in real life ... I do believe in Jesus, coming down here and dying on the cross for us. He was the most perfect man ever created ... I believe in the basic doctrine of Christianity (but) not every single thing.’”
So she believes Jesus Christ is created? Either the reporter misquoted her or she wasn't paying attention in her Southern Baptist Sunday School or her Baptist pastor has a **LOT** of explaining to do about the Trinity. I think that qualifies as a "basic doctrine of Christianity."
For those who don't recognize the implications here, at best Chenoweth's statement is Arianism, which was condemned by the Nicene Creed seventeen centuries ago; it's the same view held by Jehovah's Witnesses today, not Christianity. Realistically, Chenoweth is probably confused rather than a deliberate heretic.
This is not a minor doctrinal error. If we understand the extreme sinful wickedness of humanity since the fall of Adam and Eve, we should understand the need for the Trinity. If Jesus Christ is not both fully God and fully man, his sacrifice is not sufficient to atone for our sins. Jesus Christ is not a created being but fully God as well as being fully man.
From the same article: “’GCB’ isn’t a musical, but Chenoweth says it can speak volumes about faith. ‘I pray every day. I read the Bible. I take the meat from it daily,’ Chenoweth said with a slight laugh. ‘It feeds me. I throw away the bones of it. I don’t choke on the bones.’”
Okay, so she thinks the Bible has bones that can be thrown away. What was her church teaching? Let's hope she rejected truth, not that she was never taught truth.
Here's a video of Chenoweth explaining her career as a Country and Gospel singer, defending her role on GCB and Glee, and defending her views on homosexuality (start at 3:35 on the video):

Her theology seems to be that homosexuals are okay because God “doesn't make mistakes.”
What the secularists never seem to grasp is that, if true, this statement would also apply to murderers and rapists.
ALL of us are sinners, this is a path that man CHOSE in the Garden. Our Lord died for our sins, but He also instructed us to end our sinful behavior.
Homosexuality is one of the sins that the New Testament EXPLICITLY CONDEMNED, Christians accepted this condemnation without argument for almost twenty centuries, now the forces of evil are trying to convince well-meaning people that they no longer need to pay attention. The adage that "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions" gets thrown around a lot, but few people really stop to reflect on what it's actually saying.
Bless their hearts!
If “God doesn’t make mistakes” then Kristin then should believe that child molesters are ok too. After all, according to her, God made them too.
If you are referring to me in that condescending way, then you could not be more wrong! For one, I am far from young, and I think you just displayed my point perfectly!
