I have a relative who watches the show religiously. So, every time I visit, we get to watch over and over on syndication. The show seems very Catholic to me. I can't stand it, but I know bunches of people who love it and think it so spiritual.

And lots of people think candy isn't bad for them either. :-)
There's a retail store down the street from me, which sells "Angels, Crystals, Incense, and other Spiritual Stuff". Not a single Bible can be found on the property.
Junk food mysticism and warm fuzzy feelings - that's all it is.
I'm sure I can speak for many Catholics in saying that there is nothing discernably "Catholic" in TBAA. It is not only touchy-feely "feel-goodism," as someone on this thread said, it is also syncretistic and univeralist in the bargain. It serves to give a 'non-judgmental and spiritual" glow to a large percentage of Americans who couldn't be bothered/don't want the moral baggage of living a Christian life. If it's anything, it goes a long way to fulfilling 2Timothy 3:5-7.
It may "seem very Catholic" to you, but it only resembles your perception of "Catholicism" from the vantage point of one outside of it. No thinking Catholic would consider the show to be anything more than sentimentalist trash, at least as it pertains to expositions of authentic Christianity.
