For those of you who watched the Book Of Daniel
It has been taken off the air as you already know, but you can still watch the un played episodes on NBC's website. Here is the link.

I hope this helps those of you who were disappointed that this show was taken off the air.

1. Why thank you!!! Many people trashed the show, but I liked it
There's something about watching a humorously dysfunctional family with Jesus in the front seat of the family car that I found very enjoyable!

2. Was a reason ever given why it was taken off the air?
I enjoyed the one episode I saw, and then all of a sudden, it was canceled.

4. The official reason was low ratings.
But we all know it was the Christian coalitions doing.

7. That's unfortunate. I like the episode I saw.
I thought it was very honest and open.

10. Too bad the Fundamentalists couldn't have kept up their complaining.
Maybe more people would've watched the show.

8. They didn't like Jesus chatting with a pill popping Reverend
They didn't go for the gay kid, the pot selling kid, the horny Chinese kid, the bi sister in law, the drinking wife...the bishop father with his altzheimer's wife screwing the other bishop (but hey, that was a hetero relationship!)...it had so much for the fundies not to like, it made their heads explode!

14. Yeah, the mobbed up Italian PRIEST
And the housekeeper swiping the kid's pot and having a bit of a smoke out back....

The whole thing was a hoot to me!

15. I didn't know it had been taken off
I thought there were a few episodes left. I knew it was a limited series, but I thought there were two or three left. I absolutely loved it! Thanks for the link.

19. Anyone else get a virus while watching this?
Or is just a coincidence that one popped up on my office computer while viewing the video?

Thanks, BTW. I enjoyed the show.

20. Dude how could you have not warned us?
That episode was such a downer. I won't spoil it but if you don't cry during the last scene you aren't human.

22. Not your fault
Edited on Tue Jan-31-06 08:39 PM by dsc
brings back a tough memory or two for me. I can really see why the Christian Conservatives went ape over this though.
