- A conservative advocacy group is taking some of the credit for NBC's decision to cancel its new television series, "The Book of Daniel." The American Family Association (AFA) called for a boycott of the "anti-Christian program," even before the first episode aired. In a message to its supporters on Tuesday, the AFA welcomed news that the program has been canceled. "Your efforts, combined with those of hundreds of thousands of other AFA Online supporters, had an impact." NBC said it dropped the Friday night show three weeks after the first episode aired because of low ratings.
