My local hometown of Albany, GA newspaper's take on "Book of Daniel". Kind of interesting.

I didn't watch it, but listened to Laura Ingraham's critique on Monday. Sounds like a show that's going to sink like a rock.

Sounds like a show that's going to sink like a rock.Most TV bites from what I can tell. I saw for the very first time both "Smallville" and "Malcome in the Middle" last night. We had them up on the big screens in the control room. They were dumber than a box of rocks IMHO.

Additional subplots, such as involving the Mafia to find stolen church funds
I think they stole that from The Simpsons, where Homer hires the Mafia (at church) to eliminate Marge's business competition.

"My Name is Earl" has a good message. Substitute Karma for God and there you have it. Same network, right?

My local hometown of Albany, GA Well, three cheers for the Awl-benny Herrel.

I can picture some Los Angeles mogul pondering:
Now if NBC could only figure out how get "The Book of Daniel" out of network television (too many red states!) and establish distribution to those theatres that are showing "Brokeback Mountain". Hmmm.

I dunno, except for the main character's occupation being episcopal priest, isn't this kind of a typical, mainstream Hollywood family?

We saw a promo spot for it last night. the voice-over says, "Everyone is talking about 'The Book of Daniel'", then proceeds to show clips from the show.
No mention that all the "talking" is about how vile it is and how it's ratings are tanking.

I am wondering if there is any significance to the main character being named Daniel Webster.

Trying to get the audience by putting on something more depraved than the other channel...
Predictable.

Doesn't the book of Daniel have prophesies about sin, hell, and damnation? That seems more symbolic than his name.

bashes religion and families?
Sounds like it fits the the dem's and lib's view of "family values".
They better rally around this quick if it's going to be saved.
