    The guy who wrote it is gay and is an ex-Christian, that should tell you something. The majority of America is Christian, whether you like it or not, so NBC must know that this show wouldn't do well if aired. The simple fact is that this is nothing more than Christian bashing and NBC pushing their agenda.

      NBC's agenda is to make money
      To us, it is the BEAST.

        Yes... it's called capitalism.

        And the show has generated so much free PR by controversy, I bet it'll get a very high rating for its time slot for, at least, the first show. If its good, it'll kill in the ratings. If not, it'll die.

          Kind of like how Bare Back Mountain was all about making money? Or how about the amazingly successful Syriana?

            AFAIK, those aren't TV shows being shown on network TV... whose primary purpose is to sell commercial airtime... by getting high ratings...

              ZING!

              A movie can sell a message and break even with not that many sales, if it is made cheaply. And Syriana was really another conspiracy theory thriller that has been around for ages (did you really think you couldn't make one revolving around oil). A TV show relies on ratings, which brings in advertisers. Even if a show is made cheaply, it needs to sell ad space or else the network is going to cut it loose.

                  I do remember how Christians said how ridiculous it was when Muslims complained about the '24' stuff? And then they turn around and do the same thing.

                    The difference is that Islam isn't a part of American culture and Christianity is. Therefore, Christian bashing is often tantamount to American bashing.

                        Is it allowed to complain about bad TV shows?

                              The concept itself sounds stupid and unappealing.
