UPDATE on our most recent The Book of Daniel story:
NBC has shut down all production of The Book of Daniel indefinitely. The show was to go on hiatus for the Winter Olympic Games, but NBC execs decided to close the book altogether amid its lackluster ratings and public pressure on sponsors.
So to quote Mr. Freddy Mercury, “Another one bites the dust.”
Good riddance. This was a horrible show.
Really, this show came & went entirely under my radar; a real non-event. Network programming’s long since dropped off the edge of my personal event horizon. Methinks the controversy-mongers stirred up much ado about nothing.
I watched the premiere, and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Maybe we’ll get it straight to DVD to finish it out like Wonderfalls and Firefly.
Too bad so many “christians” can’t turn the other cheek when it comes to others turning to silly television programs they don’t like. It’s also too bad television execs don’t have any balls either, for that matter.

JESUS LIVES! AND APPARENTLY HAS DSL:
The Book of Daniel, which had its last broadcast on Jan. 20, will see its remaining unaired episodes unspool on NBC.com beginning tonight at 8 pm/ET, series creator (and TVGuide.com blogger) Jack Kenny tells us. Someone has friends in high places.
Here is the addy for the Blog:
