so NBC is taking that phrase ‘what would jesus do?’ to the next level tonight when they premiere their controversy ridden new sitcom the book of daniel – now all those christian/family groups need to get a godammned grip – the show looks to me just plain dumb ( i would protest just over that) although it has been a hit with the critics…i just don’t get how these people have even the time to protest – especially when there are many other things to worry about – like health care, the iraq war, or even the economy – i can’t believe all the wasted energy that goes around with some of those groups who go around blowing their icky hot air all over the place – save it people and give us all a break!
but just for kicks i am going to give this show a chance just to see if the hoopla is worth a second look – it stars aidan quinn as ‘daniel websiter’ an episcopalian pill-popping priest with a martini drenched wife and a gay son – that part of the set-up sounds ok – but the fact that webster sees & speaks with jesus himself – that is the dumb part but i always like to give everything a chance – what’s really funny is i probably would never have thought to watch it without the protesting – so in reality they are only getting more people to tune in – and even feature it on their blogs…anyways i am looking forward to this weekend – of course i will be around here on popbytes – i’m outtie for now – xxoo
