Some people dont like generic US sitcom. Not the first, not the last.

Im waiting for a certain comment to come up in this thread though.

Looks disgracefully unfunny. Other than that - meh.

American sitcom, usually a disgrace.

Anti-catholic, might actually make it watchable. (But I doubt it)

Having a "cynical" view of the church is "anti-Roman Catholic" now?

I haven't seen anything that was "anti catholic" in what footage they showed there, it has to be said.

My, this lot aren't biased at all wrote:

Currents is a news magazine program with stories of faith from around the
block and around the world. Founded in 2009, we are the first daily Catholic
news program.

OP, have you actually watched the pilot yourself or just this one-sided, two-minute news report?

We all know who runs the TV and film industry in America.

If you don't like the content of a channel that doesn't air in Ireland, then don't watch the conent of that channel that doesn't air in Ireland.

....anti-Roman catholic gay Irish roman catholics? the DUP? Willie Frazer?

Agent Coulson

I wonder what Alf Garnett wuold say about it.

I wouldn't find it offensive, from the clips shown it looks to be just another middle of the road sitcom using worn gags and tired stereotypes.

If you want proper well written Catholic satire Father Ted is still where it's at. Also for the Protestants, Vicar of Dibley is fantastically witty.

The protestants? Up to no good as usual.

Ridiculous beliefs are allowed be made fun of just as much as anything else. Im anti all religions not just catholics but I don't see how this is 'disgraceful'.

I think the OP was being tongue and cheek with the use of disgraceful in the thread title.

Course. There are no non-catholics, only catholics who haven't discovered they're catholic yet.

Would be great to get the opinion of an anti-jewish catholic. You know, for balance.
You know, one of those folk who killed William Tyndale.

the internet tells me he is protestant, his killers may well have been ok with jews.

nonetheless the more important point is that who needs balance during an internet rant.

The priest in the interview saying that it won't last because it's not funny reminds me of this debate between John Cleese and Michael Palin and some bishops about 'the life of Brian' where the bishops keep calling it a second rate movie.

Yeah Christianity is an easy target in American TV and film, Christians usually being shown as bible thumping rednecks. Funny how other religions don't get the same treatment...
