  • Cautionary Tale: Write What you know!

    The Book of Daniel was the small screen's attempt to capitalize on the success of Mel Gibson's independent hit movie "The Passion of the Christ". It's a trend in entertainment for competitors to give people more of what works. The problem with this formula is that you can't make a cookie-cutter clone of something and people will watch. Obviously the network and creative forces behind "The Book of Daniel" said, "People want religion. Just make any show with religion and everyone who went to see "The Passion" will watch us. Wrong. You need to write quality material and engaging stories, and know what you're writing about. The pastor in "The Book of Daniel" talks to a version of Christ who really doesn't speak the way Christ would. "Life is hard", says Pastor Daniel. "That's why it's so rewarding at the end." Not for everyone! Maybe the writers could familiarize themselves with the Christian faith, instead impose their new age philosophy on everything. There are other ways of looking at the world. The pastor talks flippantly about a per-marital couple's sex life, without concern for their souls, or offer some advice and guidance, which a priest would do, especially during marriage counseling. The program's lazy writing was an insult to anyone who took their faith seriously. So, having failed to capture the market, and amid well-deserved dismal ratings, this program was shelved, and Hollywood gave up on trying to use faith as a means to attract viewers, never knowing why they failed in the first place.

  • Supposed to be 1965.

    Wait a minute! If this is supposed to be 1965, then why are the Draper kids watching Top Cat in Prime Time, which was taken off Prime Time in 1962. This is so fakey. Other than that, this episode deals with prejudice on several different occasions. In one such instance, Roger Sterling does not want to deal with a Japanese client, because he is angry about what Pearl Harbor and WWII. Historically, many Americans held hostilities against the Japanese long after the war ended. (Other examples in this episode include Selma, and discussion of and television viewing of Civil Rights marches during this hectic decade.)
