[I Like Lincoln]

I completely agree with your first paragraph, but I think the sister part is a false analogy.
Bottom line, the show is going nowhere anyway.

The sister analogy was the first thing that came to mind, but if you replace the word sister with faith/religion then you pretty much have what the uproar is about.

Anyway, sometimes people get up in arms about certain things (i believe there is some validity to this particular uproar) but I hope one day we can return to the days when not everything had to be so PC. This show could of had a chance if it just didn't pile on all the BS circumstances, drug addicts, gay men, gay women, drug dealing, adultery, etc. Damn if they have the minister beat his wife this show could have been picked up by the Lifetime Channel.

This is just a NBC trying to out due shows like Desperate Housewives. Shock for the sake of shock.
