sorry I dont buy your reasoning... what is made on tv is what hollywood produces. there is plenty of evidence they dont go with popular ideas that clash with their prejudices. much of the PC/gayified 'comedy' today, is mindless unfunny tripe.

"You think sitcoms about evangelist christianity would go anywhere?" yes i do. the only portrayal i can think of is in a v popular show - the Simpsons. aint positive portrayal but at least it is there.

You might find a show mindless or humorless, but if Will and Grace or Queer Eye took a ratings dive, NBC would cut them in a hot second, whatever their 'prejudices.' I love the Simpsons, but the portrayal of Christians in that show isn't exactly favorable.

I honestly don't think that a show which revolved around a positive portrayal of Christianity would get good ratings. Of course I could be wrong, you never know until you try. I know you're probably thinking "well Hollywood doesn't try because of their bias." To that I don't really have an answer, but if I were them, I'd stick with Fear Factor and Average Joe and Queer Eye, since the ratings/cost ratios of those shows are astounding. Their job is to sell advertising, after all.
