American Family Association is certainly taking credit for it...


Because of your efforts, NBC cancels 'Book of
Daniel'

Dear Thomas,

NBC's anti-Christian program "The Book of Daniel"
has been
cancelled! Your efforts, combined with those of
hundreds of thousands
of other AFA Online supporters, had an impact.

NBC's decision to pull "The Book of Daniel" shows
the power of the
pocketbook. NBC didn't want to eat their economic
losses. Had NBC not
had to eat millions of dollars each time it aired,
NBC would have kept "The
Book of Daniel" on the air. Because of your efforts,
the sponsors
dropped the program. NBC then decided it didn't want
to continue the
fight.

Even an impassioned plea by Daniel's producer Jack
Kenny could not
match your participation. "Ordinarily, I would never
ask anyone to do
this, but the AFA and bullies like them are hard at
work to try and
prevent you from seeing these beautiful shows, and
that is
censorship—pure and simple. And that is both
un-Christian and
un-American," Kenny wrote. His attitude is typical
in today’s society.
Non-Christians telling Christians what is Christian.


People like Kenny don't want people like you to have
a voice. They
want to deny you the right to get involved. You are
supposed to sit
back and take the trash. And when you do speak up
they call you names.

This shows us that we don't have to simply sit back
and take the
trash, but we can get involved and fight back with
our pocketbooks. I
want to thank the 678,394 individuals who sent
emails to NBC and the
thousands who called and emailed their local
affiliates.

Thanks for caring enough to get involved!

Sincerely,

Don

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
American Family Association

P.S. Please forward this e-mail message to your
family and friends!

And of course you are not suprised, because they want something to show their backers that they are worth something. The want the money.

The terrorists won ;-P

The Terrorists are from the Muslium religion if I'm not mistaken.
So they would want anything anti-christain or jewish shows to suceed.

Not all terrorists are Muslim (though I wouldn't classify Wildmon and his ilk as terrorists).

Oh well, I would imagine the initial 8 episode run would make the writers/producers smart enough to "tie it off" with a tidy-ish ending should it not get renewed. Probably have to wait for the DVD to see all of them. :(

Well that explains a lot. I was going nuts trying to figure out what I was doing that previous Friday that would have made me miss this show. :lol:

I will miss this show as it was a lot of fun. :( Here's hoping for a DVD set soon.
