Well, that was quick:

Bowing to the power of the pocketbook – the failure to attract advertisers – NBC has decided to pull the plug on its controversial new show “The Book of Daniel.”

“NBC didn’t want to eat their economic losses,” said Donald E. Wildmon, chairman of the American Family Association.

Are NBC execs wondering why they have been struggling to regain their number-1-in-primetime status? All you have to do is see even part of one episode of “Book of Daniel” (two have aired so far) to understand why.

If they had any sense whatsoever, they would have altered the format of the show and modified the script to make it into a sitcom. A drug-addicted pastor advising his congregation not to sweat temptation, wife with a serious drinking problem, a drug-dealing daughter… This is almost like the old Fox show, “Married With Children.”

This is the kind of show, such a pile of garbage, yet still manages to make it’s way onto the air, which convinces average people that NBC has an agenda. At least they had the common sense to take the thing off the air.
