New NBC Drama Show Mocks Christianity Email NBC Chairman Bob Wright over NBC's latest show, "The Book of Daniel." NBC is touting the network's mid-season replacement series "The Book of Daniel" with language that implies it is a serious drama about Christian people and Christian faith. The main character is Daniel Webster, a drug-addicted Episcopal priest whose wife depends heavily on her mid-day martinis. Webster regularly sees and talks with a very unconventional white-robed, bearded Jesus. The Webster family is rounded out by a 23-year-old homosexual Republican son, a 16-year-old daughter who is a drug dealer, and a 16-year-old adopted...

OK, I am offended now. NBC is flogging "3 Wishes" as a family show, an alternate to "Extreme Home Makeover". In it, they find 3 families with some kind of horrible problem or tragedy, and fulfill a wish of some kind. Tonight, for a sad little cancerous girl, they redressed a home in California as if it were a winter wonderland with lights and snow, just like the Midwest Christmases her mom had.
