i think my local nbc station is not going to show The Book of Daniel

[prole_for_peace]

tomorrow night. as i was watching The Office a commercial for Daniel came on and it was muted. this happened again two other times. after many many years of extensive televsion watching i know what a muted teaser commercial means: NOT GOING TO BE ON!!

i went to the station website and they still have it on the listing (after Miracles II)so i have sent an email (as has my brother) to the program manager and will leave a voice mail also to ask, politely, if it will be on and if not, why.

this crap pisses me off.

1. Do you have High definition?

sometimes a local channels commercials will not come through ( be mute) on my hi def stations.
Even some national ones don't.

3. no, i have directv and don't get local channels so i use an antenna

my brother has cable which carries the local channels and his was muted too.

17. It's not that much more to add local channels, AND

when you add them,. you might be like us.. we got about 5 PBS channels we never got before..fantastic ones, and a few University channels too..great lectures & information....call them..or switch to Dish :)

12. And the audio is on for a couple of seconds.

Then cuts out.

2. This is wrong...if people do not want to watch this they don't have

to. This should be illegal to do...

[Ilsa]

4. Are you in a red city?

I'm also concerned. My town has a vocal bunch of fundies and very right wing Christians. I haven't heard that they aren't, but I bet there will be lots of whining. I hope they'll open the Houston affiliate for us if they decide not to play it here.

5. A man had a LTTE in the local paper requesting that people call the

local nbc station requesting that it not be aired.

10. i am 40 years old and if i want to watch something

i should damn well be able to.

i am trying to keep a little calm until i hear back from them or i call and talk to a real person tomorrow.

13. I agree with you, and my family was making a list of all of the

documentaries that we'd write a letter to request be aired, i.e., Orwell Rolls in His Grave, Unprecented, Fahrenheit 911, etc. My husband was practically yelling, "What do these nuts not understand about just turning the channel or turning the tv off?"

6. Wow there must be a bunch of people in your area who don't have

a knob on their TV that changes channels.
:sarcasm:

7. It pisses me off too...

and makes me glad that I live in a big Blue city.

[GrumpyGreg]

14. Me too!

8. I can't tell you which city, but Keith Olbermann reported this

He did a piece on the owner of a local station somewhere (Kansas maybe?) who has refused to air the program. Claimed he didn't want his viewers to be forced to watch it.

So what is he doing? Choice is choice.

15. Boy it must stink living in a place...

that only receives one TV channel and keeps you from turning that TV off and leaving the room. Jeez that place must really suck :eyes:

[LostInAnomie]

9. Here is what pisses me off.

More than likely the show is going to suck, and be canceled quickly. When that happens the fundies that threw a fit about it are going to take credit and feel empowered.

Just another faux victory for the faux chri$tians.

[prole_for_peace]

11. i wasn't really interested in watching UNTIL NOW!

now i want to see it so very much. i always want to see, listen to, read, etc anything "they" say i shouldn't.

bastards.

[Reverend_Smitty]

16. lol same here

The first I heard of this program has been a direct result of the shit all the fundies are stirring up. Now I must watch this show...or at least TIVO it

18. My local NBC affiliate had a story on this tonight

They gave three ministers a sneak preview and asked their opinions. While none would recommend the show, all said that is wasn't as bad as they had expected.
