NBC has put "The Book of Daniel" out of its misery. The Baptist Press report reads in part:
The show’s most outspoken critic, Donald Wildmon, founder and chairman of the American Family Association, celebrated the news that low ratings, a dwindling roster of sponsors and reluctant affiliates had taken a toll on the show that spotlights an Episcopal priest and his family in various quagmires of promiscuity, homosexuality, alcoholism and drug abuse. The show also featured a “Jesus” who engaged in easygoing dialogue with the priest.“NBC's decision to pull The Book of Daniel shows the power of the pocketbook,” Wildmon wrote to supporters via AFA’s website. “Because of your efforts, the sponsors dropped the program.”Wildmon noted, “Had NBC not had to eat millions of dollars each time it aired, NBC would have kept The Book of Daniel on the air.”
Money always talks in T.V. Reports are that the show was down to only one sponsor.
