Maybe NBC can develop a show about a pill-popping imam and his dysfunctional Muslim family instead . . .

You're not holding your breath, I hope.

now I would watch that....along with my favorite Saturday Nite skit "The Bel-Arabs"!

[Mr. K]

The show must have been TOO PAOSITIVE about a christian message -or it would not have been pulled

I am betting this story is BS - it was actually LIBERALS who got it yanked

[Always Right]

I am working on a show about a couple of gay researchers who fraudulantly minpulate their global warming research to scare people and get more research dollars and who sexually molest their 8 and 9 year old adopted sons. Think any of the networks will go for it?

These pathetic people in Hollywood think they can take all parts of the Bible out of our lives and then write the history of the Bible all over and push that lie down our throats.I think there are enough Christians that teach their children about God and the Bible that Hollywood will have another flop on their hands..The only ones that will look at this trash are the ones that want to believe the people in the Bible are as scummy as they are..

The actor who plays Jesus here is 41, older than the real Jesus when he was crucified. ;)

The ads for this show still make it look like a comedy while NBC says it is supposed to be a drama. I wonder which it is. I doubt I will watch to find out anyway.

Verrrrry funny.

[TexCon]

The networks should utilize what's been successful for them...maybe they should try "Everybody Loves Mohammed" or "Two and a Half Jihadists" or even "According to Imam".
Ping...

(leaked memo fom NBC program development)

"OK guys, we haven't done enough yet to piss off, insult and alientate those Red Staters. Any ideas?"

[cvq3842]

no, no - just extreme sarcasm!

[cvq3842]

I remember that one!

Go for it? That's got Emmy written all over it, pal. Have your people call my people.

You are on ludes. Check the rear and side view mirrors.

[Noachian]

NBC, as with any large corporation, spends millions on PR to put its products in the best light among prospective viewers.

Then some NBC exec signs off on a show that will not only antagonize a large portion of its viewers, but create a backlash against the sponsors of the show.

NBC execs should retake Econ 101.

"Maybe NBC can develop a show about a pill-popping imam and his dysfunctional Muslim family instead . . ."

Honestly - NBC considered doing that but with the imam's family strapping on those TNT belts and blowing themselves up - they soon ran out of a cast of characters.

I am so glad the Christians are finally standing up to these Hollywood weirdo's.Now lets get rid of the ACLU..There are enough of us that if we sued the pants off of these people we could get them to back down on everything they try to do..Like take Christ out of Christmas..What our country was founded on is Christian values..
