Well I've seen the show and the problem isn't that it's boorish, it's that it's BORING. Paint drying on a cold, wet day.
Don't think you'll have to worry about it much longer, as its ratings are in the toilet. I watched it once, and will never do so again. It was more stupid and boring than anything else.
but refuses to acknowledge God.
There are no cell phones in Heaven!
Its DOA. NBC should take notes on how not to program.
Were you ever in the US Navy, because you just explained a long, hard day with very few words? We always had at least two coats to do....
Red Lead and Haze Grey and underway.
Can't be worse than 7th Heaven!
Boycott GE.
The "Rev" is a drug addict, someone in the family stole the money from the worshippers and he talks to Jesus.
They stole that from "Rescue Me" and I didn't see it.
But, I'll bet few can be a sarcastic hard ass like Denis Leary.
Freaks. You don't cash in on Christians by insulting them.
I don't know about that. I never watched "Laverne And Shirley" but it was a smash for years.
They should have used Sears Weatherbeater.
But tell the advertisers. Is there a way to get a Tivo to record only the commercials?
They put on garbage like this,and when it tanks,they claim that "Christian" programming doesn't sell.

I have two answers for that.......
One. There are no malls in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!
Two. Then we couldn't stop in "The Med" for excellent seafood and Osso Buco!!
Hasn't everything that needs to be said already been said about this television show?
