Book Of Daniel Loses More Stations/Advertisers

In what must be a horrific shock to NBC television, viewers in mid-America aren't thrilled about The Book of Daniel.

As WorldNetDaily reported, "The Book of Daniel," written by a homosexual, is being promoted as the only show on television in which Jesus appears as a recurring character and the only network prime-time drama series with a regular male "gay" character, a 23-year-old Republican son. The main character, Daniel Webster, is a troubled, pill-popping Episcopal priest.

Touted as the riskiest show of the year, it includes a wife who relies on mid-day martinis, a 16-year-old daughter who is a drug dealer and a 16-year-old adopted son who is having sex with the bishop's daughter. At the office, the priest's lesbian secretary is sleeping with his sister-in-law.

Nashville's WSMV-TV General Manager Elden Hale, Jr. said: "Based on a review of the first three episodes and the clearly voiced concerns from our viewers, we have determined that the program 'The Book of Daniel' is not appropriate for broadcast television in this community."
It is really hard for me to figure out how some people are able to hold down jobs in the entertainment industry. For about $12.00 in consultation fees I could have pulled the plug on this fiasco long before NBC pushed it on us.

Of course, what would I know about it? After all, I'm from middle America.
