Religious and spiritual concerns aside, it looks like a lousy show anyway. The only reason they could possibly have for putting it in the lineup is to thumb their noses at people who DO take their faith seriously.

"...the Webster family reportedly includes a 23-year-old homosexual, Republican son; a 16-year-old daughter who is a drug dealer; and an adopted son involved in an improper relationship with the bishop's daughter."

WHY do the idiots in the media think that this is the kind of programming that will attract large "media market share"??

the weekly show centers around an Episcopal priest named Daniel Webster

Really now. That fact is not readily conveyed by the ads. They make him seem to be a Catholic priest, but Episcopal, anything goes...

Because "American Beauty" won so many Academy Awards.

This show is basically "American Beauty" the series. Except they've added a heavy dose of Christian hypocrisy.

Gee, when are we going to see a TV show that similarly mocks Muslims and their faith?

Agreed. The frightening thing is that their business model calls for thumbing their nose at over 50% of their potential customer base, just 'cause it makes 'em feel real good.

Truth is, they don't have a business model. All they have is an agenda.

FYI..When I first heard about this show, I thought it sounded, well, familar...this was tried once before..also failed abysmally. Dan Akroyd, of all people played a disfunctional Episcopal priest on "Soul Man"

Why are they always picking on us poor Episcopalians? Though this show may well be a hit, since I expect Bishop Vickie Gene Robinson to announce that it's a marvelous slice of reality..

This sounds like a quasi-accurate portrayal of much of the Episcopal Church. Why are non-Episcopalians complaining?

NBC has come a long way with family sitcoms since the Bill Cosby Show.

Since when are liberal hollywood types rational?

Reading the synopsis, it sounds like something that might be funny as a British comedy. But then it would be well-written.

Wouldn't it be funnier and more timely if a mullah's dysfunctional family were paraded on TV every week? To bomb or not to bomb the corner Quickie-Mart. Oh, but that wouldn't be PC.
