If NBC really wanted to be 'courageous' they would do a sitcom about a jihadist family trying to fit in.

I actually wrote an email to my NBC local affiliate. Hopefully they will follow this affiliate's lead.

They can moon the public but the sponsors can't afford to...

Remember "The Reagans"!!

[BoBToMatoE]

the show is distressed merchandise.

Thanks for posting. I've already sent an email to WMC in Memphis... General Manager, Community Affairs, Programming, and Sales Manager.

I'd encourage all Freepers to contact your local affiliate, as well.

"The program’s main characters include Daniel Webster, a drug-addicted Episcopal priest; his alcoholic wife; his son, a 23-year-old homosexual Republican; his daughter, a 16-year-old drug dealer; a 16-year-old adopted son who is having sex with the bishop's daughter; his lesbian secretary who is sleeping with his sister-in-law; and a very unconventional white-robed, bearded Jesus who talks to the priest. "

Gee... just like my family...

...the show is written by Jack Kenny, a practicing homosexual...

Keep practicing, Jack. Maybe you'll get it right in the end.

The people behind the decision don't care if the show makes money. They want propaganda for their leftist causes, they relish tweaking mainstream america with blasphemy.

What's that, the return counter at Walmart?

Seriously, my husband & I already decided not to watch the show anyway.

Hey, that TFAL is good stuff.

I thought we were in favor of free speech. I guess that applies only to people we agree with.

[colorado tanker]

Sorry, NBC. I'll be too busy to watch your fab new "edgy" show. I got the Band of Brothers DVD for Christmas.

A local Christian talk program offered the advice that if we just ignore the show, it will go away, but be sure to pray about it... I will admit, this show is red meat to incense the "Jesus freaks." Still, uninformed propaganda such as this would not be tolerated even for cannibalistic animism.

Can't wait for the calls of "censorship" from pot smoking liberals.

"I don't necessarily know that all the myth surrounding him (Jesus) is true,” he said.

That statement speaks volumes - not so much the sacreligious nature of the statement as the logical fallacy. He begins with ambiguity, "I don't... know", then assumes the conclusion - the very thing about which he is uncertain - is that Jesus' works were a "myth."

A more logically correct and hence credible sentence would be "I don't know if the events in the Gospels are true."

Conclusion: this is a fellow with a confused and muddled view of religion whose opinion deserves little if any weight.

[MEGoody]

Never even heard of this show. Apparently, they hadn't spent much money on 'hype' for it yet.

[Roux]

Just goes to show you how out of touch NBC is.

I bet the writer is ticked that Catholic priests can't marry.

Also, couldn't he come up with a more diverse family?

Never heard of the show, is that really the lineup? Reads like something from the Onion.

Is Mr Wildmon aware of this invention...?
