‘The Book of Daniel’ Cancelled by NBC
After only four episodes, NBC has cancelled their controversial new show “The Book of Daniel”, the debut of which I reviewed recently. The quickly waning number of viewers to a disappointing low is creditted for the decision by the network to forever shut “The Book of Daniel”, but the American Family Association (AFA) is taking credit for this “victory”.
While I hope the show was cancelled for it complete lack of quality writing (which I still suspect is the case), I certainly hope it was not because of the AFA and other Christian groups calling for boycotts and protests. The last thing Christians need to be identifying with is reactionary fundamentalism that prides itself at bullying society to our narrow view of “morality” that has little to do with the heart of our faith.

At this point, NBC has not plans to air the remaining episodes, though I suspect they could make a killing on the DVD’s. You heard it here first!
