Revelations 33:15Yea, though it came to pass that those refusing to believe in the word of the Lord grew in number, and the fatted calves were slaughtered less frequently thanks to the Mark Of The Beast (a.k.a Weight Watchers), it did happen that shepherds keeping watch oer the network television landscape did espy a need for new content. And so, in the year of our Lord 2015, it did transpire that Deadline reports Alcide Bava, a production company founded by Big Bang Theorys Johnny Galecki, is developing a sitcom based on bestselling 2007 book The Year Of Living Biblically.
Said bookwhich pleaseth the Lord greatly because he hath such a good sense of humor about these mattersis written by Esquire magazine editor-at-large A.J. Jacobs, who did spend a year upon the Earth obeying the tenets of the Bible as literally as possible. Unto this effort, the Lord did say, Whoa, that is a good idea for thine book, but also, what in the name of Me was I thinking? Like 70 percent of the rules in mine holy book became moot once thou didst invent the refrigerator. Seeing this in development made the Lord ebullient, as he was annoyed that Paramount Pictures, which previously did have Jacobs noble book under option, couldst not get its shit together and make something from it.

Given society's decline, such shows will eventually make Christians targets.

They’re trying to design a new form of attack on Christians:
The new weapons are aimed at drawing the interest of genuine Christians and undermining their faith.
The old weapons were aimed at pleasing secular people and non-Christians.

They have no clue. They just seek to mock Christians and orthodox Jews.

There was a time when TV shows touted the Bible as virtuous rather than covertly attacking it as CBS may be doing.

Yes imagine them making a sitcom about The Koran....a full-on Fatwa would be declared on them.
Someone would have to play Mohammed....and they’ve murdered people for even drawing a cartoon of Mohammed.
