Is NBC crazy? In this day and age, it takes real chutzpa to
develop a “provocative drama set against the backdrop of a prominent Michigan
mosque where faith, family and corruption are explored in equal measure.” Wait,
back that up. Replace “Michigan
mosque” with “Texas church.” Now
that makes sense.
Perhaps operating on the theory that pop culture just doesn’t do enough to stick it to Christians, NBC has green lighted “Salvation.” [1] According to the Hollywood Reporter, “the pilot centers on Jennifer Strickland (Judd), who has to defend her children, church and religious beliefs after her husband dies under mysterious circumstances.” But since it stars erstwhile Democratic senate hopeful and moonbat liberal [2] Ashley Judd, and its executive producer, David Janollari, was formerly the head of programming for MTV, its hard to imagine the show going to the barricades for “religious beliefs.”
NBC must think drama can succeed with drama where comedy failed. Just two years ago ABC cancelled “GCB” [3] (short for “Good Christian Bitches”), a particularly nasty show about hypocritical … Texas Christians. Sensing a theme?
