Andrew Careaga of Bloggedy Blog has an excellent review of this show the American Family Association is in an uproar about.

I sat down and watched most of it. I didn’t catch the end, not because it was particularly good or bad, it’s was just TV show with a two hour debut, and I lost interest and started reading.  There was a few odd moments that caught my attention. There wasn’t a lot I could relate to, it’s typical network fare. Four NBC affliates decided to cave to pressure and not air it.

The Blog of Daniel  has also received some attention thanks to the AFA, and if you are a TV fan, I recommend checking it out. It was set up by the Episcopal Diocese of Washington and is mentioned in this E-Online artice.

We certainly understand that Christians have difficulties in life, even ministers,” Ed Vitagliano, a spokesman for the American Family Association, told the Los Angeles Times after watching the pilot Tuesday night at the NBC affiliate in Memphis. “But this was not a realistic portrayal of a minister’s life. This was so far beyond the pale, it was almost a comic strip version.”

Vitagliano said the group was offended that the show’s creator, Jack Kenny, is gay, as are two of the show’s characters.

“We look at that and say, ‘If they wanted to try to alienate conservative Christians, they’re making every effort to do so,’ ” he said.

According to Vitagliano, more than 500,000 people have used the American Family Association’s Website to email NBC and its affiliates demanding that the show be yanked since the group began its protest.

I find the above claim dubious. Here is the financial statement for the AFA - 2004.
