Jesus, Vicodin and Sex

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Two NBC affiliates in Arkansas and Indiana are turning the page on upcoming series "The Book of Daniel," which has been drawing criticism for its portrayal of Christianity.

The series depicts an Episcopalian minister, played by Aidan Quinn, struggling with an addiction to Vicodin, among other problems in his diocese. Jesus is actually a character on the series, depicted in imagined conversations with the minister.

Last month, the conservative American Family Assn. began calling on affiliates and advertisers to bail out of "Daniel." Many stations have been flooded with e-mails and calls from viewers objecting to the series.

HELLO!!!! These people haven't even watched the show, and they are calling for it to be dumped? WTF?

Who are the people that they have enough time to bitch about a show they haven't even seen. These have to be the same "people" who were offended by the 1/10th of a second flash of Janet's booby at the Superbowl Halftime show 2 years ago. I saw it....IT WAS A BOOB FOR CHRIST SAKE!!!! I have boobs, and many of you have boobs, what's the big deal. You don't want sex, boobs, booze and violence, don't watch football.

Same goes for this new show, you don't like how it sounds, don't watch it. But DO NOT try to tell me what I can and cannot watch. That's a load of bull puckey. Frankly the show looks like it will suck. I like Aiden Quinn, a lot, but the premises seems poor. I don't watch much T.V., books are so much better, so I'll probably skip it. But, I should have the choice. So should everyone else.

Take a moment to write a brief e-mail to these affiliates, tell 'em what you think, I did.
