Re: The Book of Daniel
I watched it, too, and I really enjoyed it. It kinda of reminded me of a cross between Desperate Housewives and 7th Heaven. It had some really funny moments. I never thought I'd be saying this, but I love Jesus! He's very funny on the show, and he has some geniunely sweet moments with the priest. It's not a great show, but likeable enough.
It's completely ridiculous that they would protest or ban this show... they obviously didn't screen it, because there's hardly anything offensive in it at all. In fact, it has a fairly positive tone. The priest (episcopalian) is addicted to something like vicodin, and he has a gay son, his other two kids smoke weed, his mom has alzheimer's, his dad's an asshole bishop, he's trying to fund good works and may have to get help from the mafia, and so on. The show is gay-positive, and the preist doesn't beat or disown his children when they act up. I guess that's the problem?
