WND: NBC pulls the plug on 'Book of Daniel'
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | 1/23/06 | WND

NBC's "The Book of Daniel" may have launched to great controversy and hoopla.

But, today, the show ended with a whimper – pulled unceremoniously from NBC's Friday night schedule, effective immediately, with no more of an announcement than an entry on an NBC blog by creator Jack Kenny.

Bigotry is Bigotry regardless of the content. What's next the KKK family show? This is blatant Anti-Christian bigotry. From the PC crowd no less. Asshats should lose their jobs in programming over at NBC. I did not watch a single show and am glad this garbage is gone from the air.

As Yogi Berra once said, how are you going to keep 'em from not coming out to the ballpark?

The really uncharitable part of me always kinda thought the show was a not too far off the mark parody of what is going on in the Episcopal Church these days.

I thought the same things. Consider the parish I just left: Raging codependant rector who has affairs and is getting divorced, Homosexual assistant rector who hooked up with someone on the internet who filed a harassment complaint when the associate tried to break it off and got the guy fired, parishioner who embezzled half a million from the diocese... Not so far off at all.

A religious-themed show that is anti-religion. Gee, I wonder why it didn't last.

Jay Leno last night, referenced the cancellation of West Wing and then extrapolated:

"If they really want to get rid of Usama Bin Ladden, they should just give him his own show on NBC and he'll get cancelled."

Let's see a show of hands, how many saw that coming after the first ad appeared? It pays to complain, even if it's just hitting the channel button on the remote.

It didn't last as long as I figured it would. I had it down for 6 epi's and then disappear between the 4th and 6th by being pre-empted a few weeks in a row.

Now, I guess we get another Law & Order or Friends spin-off.

One thing that didn't help was going against the Friday night line-up. CBS has a good lock on it, compounded by the Sci-Fi channel line up.

Airing the series does show how out-of-touch with mainstream America the NBC executives really are.

I think it was an unintentional parody of what is going on in the Episcopal Church and thought that, for that reason, it was good for the show to continue. The show was much like "Thelma and Louise," a movie somehow intended to show the glories of woymn's lib, which could actually be used by Islamofascists to demonstrate the virtue of the Prophet's teachings regarding women. After all, Thelma and Louise managed to turn a simple weekend fishing trip into a bungled crime spree followed by double suicide, not much of an advertisement for woymn's liberation.
