Imagine....just another all-American family show with an alcoholic, a drug dealer, a homosexual, a lesbian, a Jesus impersonator, a depressive, and the creepiest female on earth (Diller)........wow......TV sucks more every day!
Hey, everybody else wants to jump on the bandwagon, so why not?
Two seasons? You're being generous.
A continuation of the same old. The networks (and Hollyweird) are trying to top one another in the ratings battle.

The Da Vinci Code - Yes, I know I might be behind the curve on this one, but some of us just got around to reading it and enjoyed it. The story gets a B- but it’s the theory behind it all that was so interesting. Believe it or not.

All the liberal crap they list as their "favorites" doesn't surprise me. What shocked me was this: The Chicks want to share their new favorites with their fans. I was under the impression they didn't have any fans left.
Yes! I don't watch very much TV but NBC aired "It's A Wonderful Life" the other night. The previews for the "Book of Daniel" aired during the commercial break. It was quite challenging to follow who was married to who, practicing what and indulging in drugs. It was enough to ensure that the decision to turn off the MSM programming two years ago, was worth the effort.
Putting the thumb in the eye of Christians is hardly risky in Hollywood.
Have them cast a homosexual in less than flattering light. Then they'll find out what risky is. The Gays would be coming for them, and they wouldn't be bringing flowers.
Yeah, but Jesus got to go to Iraq to rescue Santa and kill muslims.
He will probably be self-hating until the "hip" Jesus tells dad to let gay sonny boy know that its all O.K.
" I was under the impression they didn't have any fans left."
they have 12 fans. 5 of them are blood relatives. I read on one of their fan boards where they are all planning on buying millions (thier words not mine) to boost sales of their album, becuase they know how dastardly sales will be. LOL!
Hey, just offering my opinion, which is what Free Republic is all about!
Only if it is the RIGHT opinion.
Unfortunately, NBC will turn this into a promo -- "People are talking about the new hit show of the season..."

I'm catholic, but my knees hurt too much to go to church, all that kneeling...
eMail sent bump!
This is important and we need to be heard. We have 3 major successes in the recent past so we CAN win this.
1. Hit piece on Reagan, starring Mr. Streisand, relegated to backwoods of cable TV.
2. Whoopie potty-mouth dropped as Slim-Fast spokesperson.
3. Jeanie liar will-walk-on-glass Garafolo's ABC series cancelled before it even got started.
FReep this, folks!
Try the Eastern Catholic Churches. Standing in the East is considered the ultimate form of worshipl
The Catholic Church is both Western and Eastern. As most of us realize, the Church began in the East. Our Lord lived and died and resurrected in the Holy Land. The Church spread from Jerusalem throughout the known world. As the Church spread, it encountered different cultures and adapted, retaining from each culture what was consistent with the Gospel. In the city of Alexandria, the Church became very Egyptian; in Antioch it remained very Jewish; in Rome it took on an Italian appearance and in Constantinople it took on the trappings of the Roman imperial court. All the churches which developed this way were Eastern, except Rome. Most Catholics in the United States have their roots in Western Europe where the Roman rite predominated. It has been said that the Eastern Catholic Churches are "the best kept secret in the Catholic Church."
The Vatican II Council declared that "all should realize it is of supreme importance to understand, venerate, preserve, and foster the exceedingly rich liturgical and spiritual heritage of the Eastern churches, in order faithfully to preserve the fullness of Christian tradition" (Unitatis Redintegrato, 15). Pope John Paul II said that "the Catholic Church is both Eastern and Western."
Check your local community at the following link and look into attending an Eastern Catholic Liturgy (not to be confused with the Orthodox Church).
Eastern Catholic Churches in the U.S.
The Eastern Catholic Rites retain the rich heritage of our church, without the "novelties" introduced into the Novus Ordo liturgy. Incense is used throughout.
I attend a Maronite Catholic Church. The Consecration is in Aramaic, using the words and language of our Lord at the Last Supper. Communion is ONLY distributed by the priest. It is by intinction (the priest dips the consecrated host into the Precious Blood) and is ONLY received on the tongue. The priest administers communion with the words: "The Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ is given to you for the remission of sin and eternal salvation".
A Roman Catholic may attend the Divine Liturgy at any Eastern Catholic Church. You can learn more about the 22 different Churches at this link:
I'm sure he will be a closeted or self hating gay at first (and by this I mean the first episode). Then the "cool, hip" Jesus will relay a message to him thru dad that "Jesus is love" or "God loves all unconditionally" or something like that. At this point he will be "out and fabulous" and no longer a Republican.
Hollywierd TV history proves that conservative characters never stay conservative for more than 1 episode before they "come around". After all, you can't have a recurring "unsympathetic" character on your show, can you?
