Sounds like it will appeal to the "Passion" demographic.

the Jesus character on "Daniel" is depicted as a "contemporary, cool" figure who appears only to the minister.

Modern-day Jesus coming to NBC television

That would've been quite a coupe...if it had been announced by NBC's news division.

[Armedanddangerous]

What do you want to bet it will be an anti-conservative, pro gay marriage screed?

[AD from SpringBay]

Puke - these idiots must have just bought a "Christianity for Dummies" book and decided to make this - pagans attempting to speak a language they neither hear nor understand.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I wonder how long it will take them to turn Anne Rice's forthcoming book on Jesus into a miniseries? That one ought to really set off the alarm bells.

[socal_parrot]

Why not? He already has his own radio show in Los Angeles...

The Jesus Christ Show

MATTHEW CH. 24:

4: And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

According to NBC promotional materials, the Jesus character on "Daniel" is depicted as a "contemporary, cool" figure who appears only to the minister.

If they think that this approach will net them the Passion demographic, they're popping whatever pills their fictional minister is hooked on.

[ladtx]

Anyone else think this may be just a LITTLE blasphemous?

[stocksthatgoup]

The media and the demoncrats are gonna show YOU that they have morals.

[mnehring]

Well, the talk show with Jesus concept didn't work..

[Shortwave]

Pill popping clergy is code for Catholic bashing.

[shekkian]

The statesman Daniel Webster must be rolling in his grave to see his name abused this way.

[FormerLib]

Oh you've just got to see this one!

I wonder how often the "new Jesus" will contradict Scripture? I mean, they won't be satisfied with doing it every now and again, two or three times per show is probably a requirement for the writers.

[kharaku]

Sounds blasphemous to me, that should get ratings.

[Moose4]

Do they not get it or what? They see the great success of "Passion" and think, "Well, all we've got to do is put this Jesus guy in a TV show and make him a nice dude and people will flock to see it!"

My prediction: It lasts five episodes before low ratings force NBC to yank it.

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

I could be mistaken, but it sounds like, once again, our lovelies at H.W. still do not get it...

[concerned about politics]

The series stars Aidan Quinn ("Legends of the Fall") as conflicted Episcopal minister

So he'll be homosexual.

This is a re-write of scriptures by Hollywood. Unfortunately, many democrats will believe it's real. They wanted Martin Sheen to be president, "because he's had years of experience!!!"
