While the leader of the Indiana House is trying to make Jesus a political operative, NBC-TV is turning him into a cartoon savior, looking like a '60s flower child and mouthing inanities ("Life is hard," "Everyone's different") to possibly the biggest collection of creeps and losers ever assembled. I know there's a lot of tough competition, but "The Book of Daniel" just might be the worst television show of all time.

Not only that, but I'm surprised more critics haven't pointed out already that the gimmick of having Jesus appear to give the main character advice has been shamelessly plagiarized by the network from another far more popular (Mature-rated) series seen on FX channel.
So many TV shows die quick, unlamented deaths that it seems like it would have made more sense for opponents to simply keep quiet and let a poor concept kill the show for them.
Injecting controversy into the equation will likely prolong the life of the show. On the other hand, I suppose this might be useful in riling up the base and getting them to donate to the cause.
