The Book of Daniel...YUK!

It pains me to admit that, for research purposes only, I subjected myself to two unbearable hours of watching NBC's overhyped show The Book of
Daniel.
It had to be the most dysfunctional group of people ever put on network telelvision period.
In a nutshell, the cast is led by Aiden Quinn as a typical left-of-center, "non judgmental" Episcopal priest in New York state. He is the sane one. He pops pain killers for a bad back and talks to Jesus as if he is a regular guy. His wife is an alcoholic, his children are a real bunch of degenerates. The daughter sells pot to support her on line anime habit. The one son is gay and the adopted Chinese son is a over sexed smart aleck. Oh, what else. Quinn's father is a bishop and mother has alzheimers. So what does this bishop do? He finds a female bishop and has an affair with her.
Thats just the immediate family.
Then there is the sister in law whose husband is the church treasurer and runs off with his much younger secretary and a little over three million dollars. So what does an Episcopal priest do to track this degenerate down and get the money back? He goes to Father Frank, the Roman Catholic priest with ties to the Mafia!
I have to stop! You get the idea.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING REDEEMING ABOUT THIS SHOW!!! It is dreck!
What, among many aspects about this show that is troubling is that it uses the Episcopal Church as a backdrop. As I wrote in an earlier post, the Episcopal Church is the liberals favorite denomination. For some of us, it is unfortunate because of the liberal takeover of the leadership at most parishes, dioceses and the national church, the leadership does not reflect the average person in the pew.
This Aiden Quinn's priest said that tempation is not really a bad thing because without temptation, there can be no redemption. Got it?! When Quinn was talking to Jesus, he should have asked him why he would foolishly ask his followers to pray not to be led into temptation.
Please, I ask those reading this NOT to watch this show. The only way it will be taken off the air is with the most abysmal ratings possible. I mean you have got to rate it lower than an average UPN show for this dreck to be taken off the air.
If this is what Hollywood wants to portray as the normal American family, give me 7th Heaven on the WB anyday!
