The Christofascist Zombie Brigade wins one for Jeebus
Posted by Jill | 4:25 PM

Christian wackjobs everywhere can breathe easier now that a television show about an Episcopal priest who's a devoted husband and loving father is gone from the airwaves, simply because a bunch of closet cases at the American Family Association couldn't deal with the show's depiction of a man not hating his gay son and talking to a friendly, helpful, tolerant Jesus:

Unfortunately, due to many reasons, "The Book of Daniel" will no longer be aired on NBC on Friday nights. I just wanted to say "thank you" to all of you who supported the show. There were many wonderful, talented people who contributed to it's success - and I do mean success. Whatever the outcome, I feel that I accomplished what I set out to do: A solid family drama, with lots of humor, that honestly explored the lives of the Webster family. Good, flawed people, who loved each other no matter what... and there was always a lot of "what"! I remain proud of our product, proud of my association with Sony, NBC Universal, and NBC, who all took a chance on a project that spoke to them, and proud to have made an impact on so many of your lives.

Thanks for watching.
Sincerely,
Jack Kenny
Creator, The Book of Daniel
