When I first saw the commercials for this sitcom, my first reaction was, "what the hell were they thinking about?"
If you don't know what I am talking about, and that is a distinct possibilty, the Book of Daniel was a TV show about a drug-addicted Episcopalian priest, his alcoholic wife and promiscuous, drug-dealing kids. Oh but the way, Dan talks to a hippie-dippy messiah version of Jesus Christ.
Evangelicals complained, and who could blame them, but ultimately no one watched it.
The show's creator and executive producer, Jack Kenny, has said his goal was to depict how "humour and grace" help a flawed man struggle with his faith and family.
Kenny is a moron. There are plenty of ways of depicting the humanity of Christians without insulting their beliefs, values and God. You know this would never have flow if the title character were an Iman, but then again, Kenny would be in hiding right now,sharing a bathroom with Salman Rushdie.

The bottom line is the show sucked - the Evangelical whining is why it lasted the few episodes it did. What is amazing is such a waste would be greenlighted for broadcast in the first place.
