The Book of Daniel
In case you have a life and you were out on Friday night when the new NBC show “The Book of Daniel” debuted – you didn’t miss a thing. This show is a poor attempt to bait the religious and tap into the spiritually curious viewers. This is no 7th Heaven.
“Oh, Lord! In this busy family tableau, Aidan Quinn stars as Daniel Webster – husband, dad, Episcopalian minister…and Vicodin addict (who sees Jesus regularly). The Websters are so religious that they sing grace at dinner. But lest things get a little too red-state, there’s a gay son and the embezzlement of church funds – and that’s just the first hour! It gives you an idea how badly NBC wants to win praise in all corners.” – TV Guide, December 26, 2005-January 1, 2006; pg 16
