Three More NBC Affiliates Drop 'Daniel'
Three more NBC affiliates have dropped "The Book of Daniel," bringing the number of stations not airing the program to 11. KNWA in Fayetteville and KFTA in Fort Smith, both in Arkansas, and WTVE in West Monroe, La. have joined stations in Nashville, Tenn.; Terre Haute, Ind.; Little Rock, Ark; Amarillo, Beaumont and Tyler, Texas; and Meridian and Tupelo, Miss. in canceling the controversial program. NBC has scheduled the program to run for eight episodes. "NBC is losing between two and three million dollars each time they air ‘The Book of Daniel,’" said American Family Association Chairman Donald E. Wildmon. "With those kind of losses, NBC may decide to cancel the show."
Story Continues Below NBC touts the show as a serious drama about Christian people and the Christian faith. The main character is Daniel Webster, a drug-addicted Episcopal priest whose wife depends heavily on her mid-day martinis. Webster regularly sees and talks with a very unconventional white-robed, bearded Jesus. The Webster family is rounded out by a 23-year-old homosexual Republican son, a 16-year-old drug dealing daughter, and a 16-year-old adopted son who is having sex with the bishop’s daughter. In the premier episode, Daniel's brother-in-law Charlie runs off with Jesse, his secretary. Later viewers find out that she is also having a lesbian affair with Charlie's wife. Editor's note:
