New NBC Drama Show Mocks Christianity


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 son who is having sex with the bishop's daughter.

At the office, his lesbian secretary is sleeping with his sister-in-law.

Network hype – and the mainstream media – call it "edgy," "challenging" and "courageous." The hour-long limited drama series will debut January 6 with back-to-back episodes and will air on Friday nights. The writer for the series is a practicing homosexual.

1. Finally some good television

This show sounds like it could be great, I can't wait to hear what Dobson has to say about it.

2. Competing with HBO, sounds like!

I guess they will have a cow...sounds like a cross between SIX FEET UNDER and SEX AND THE CITY!!!

12. Actually, HBO is preparing to air a show about a polygamist family

Seems NBC has a long ways of catching up to do.

[Cha]

3. Yeah, is he a practicing

republiCON, too? This sounds like a bunch shock and awe bs.

4. I disagree: fundies don't have minds to lose

That's what makes em fundies :evilgrin:

[Scooter24]

5. LMAO..

I'd watch it just for the characters. :D

6. Want a show that will freak out the fundies?

Check out the BBC's Father Ted - if that doesn't get them all riled up, nothing will.

It sounds like an interesting premise, though. I'd probably TiVo the first show andsee what all the buzz is about.

14. Just added both as TiVo season passes

Thanks for the heads-up on Father Ted.

7. Saw a commercial for it the other night. Pat R is gonna blow a fuse.

I thought that thru the whole commercial, but when they showed him talking to Jesus, the biggeest smile came over my face. They're gonna squawk like a chicken laying her first egg.

8. I wonder how much practice it takes to become an accomplished homosexual?

:shrug:

11. I caught that..what a strange statement

First you practice, than you become accomplished, then you play at Radio city as a WORLD RENOWNED HOMOSEXUAL...suppose to give it credibility??

[serryjw]

10. I saw the trailer also

it looks great. Dobson will have a stroke, can't wait

[Journeyman]

9. Sounds like a fairly low-brow, stupid show. . .

should have great ratings. . .

[NVMojo]

13. I am actually looking forward to this!!!
