| Last Sunday, CBS debuted a new Norman Lear sitcom, "Sunday Dinner".
| The show frankly deals with spiritual issues. One of the characters
| regularly converses with God (addressing the Deity, among other things,
| as "Chief"),
I thought that was one of the best parts. I had heard that some
religious leaders were offended by this. To me I can't see why. I would
have thought that having someone talk to God in a show would have pleased
them. Does it really matter if someone has a pet name for Him? The next
night on NBC they had a panel of ministers & priests who watched the show.
Some of them were offended by that and some weren't. Is this a more
fundlementalist type of thing or denomination?
| and in the first episode she mentioned her belief in a
| connection between God and reverence for nature. I am very pleased
| with the concept of this show, and I hope it does well--
I thought it was really great. My boyfriend who rarely watches tv
really liked it as well.
| although, I
| must admit, after seeing the original episode of "All in the Family"
| (which CBS replayed after "Sunday Dinner"), I think "Sunday Dinner"
| could be a little funnier.
Wasn't that GREAT! When I was always watching the show I couldn't
really see why it was so contraversial (I was all of 10), but after watching it
then, all it made me realize is that Archie brought up some real feelings to
the surface that people have about others of different races and cultures.
Feelings that most had, but would never admit in public. I guess that's where
the contraversy is, in realizing who you might actually be.
