'Living Biblically'

Apparently being promoted as a COMEDY.

Just the latest attempt by Liberal Hollywood to bash Christians based on their erroneous interpretation of the Bible. Maybe they should seek what the Bible and Jesus really teaches before they are so quick to criticize.

I can't foresee this show doing that well. The reason is that many of those who don't want to hear about God will not watch and many of those who want to hear about God don't want to hear about it in this way. So essentially they have a VERY narrow viewing pool.

And I'm not sure I will be in that "pool." I gave it a chance, since it was the opening episode, but as far as returning for a second dose, I don't know. I don't have to agree with a show's premise to ostensibly be able to enjoy it, but it is nice to be stimulated by something new. I didn't find it new, just silly.

Yes, I am surprised that this show was done given that the track record of just about anything religious related falls in between those 2 end points; those that are not interested and those that only want something religious that they agree with.....

just silly.

We don't do "just silly" very well in this country; we tend to by-pass that territory to leap forward into "just plain stupid".

Where would you place Clarabell (fr. Howdy Doody) in that dichotomy?

Equal parts melded with some modest educational efforts - wait; you had to go back 60 years for this? That might answer part of your own question right there. A fair example of just silly might have been Steve Allen or....................

Uhh, check your coolant?

Good choice! I forgot about him. And now that you mention that circa and genre, how about: Jonathan Winters (my all-time favorite very silly man) and Robin Williams (I think he thought he was funnier that he actually was, but it was always nice to see him work-out.)

[webenda]

It is not always fun to be funny.

Robin Williams had bipolar disorder. He came from a time in Hollywood when it was never OK to be "off." The problem with being bipolar is, when the insanely funny interviews were over, Williams turned off into a deep depression, a depression he could see no way out of. Eventually, he found a way out--he committed suicide on August 11, 2014 at age of 63.

Jonathan Winters suffered from the same disorder. He reported in an interview that he spent eight months in a private psychiatric hospital in 1959 and again in 1961. He managed to cope with his illness and died April 11, 2013 of natural causes at age of 87.

Seen and heard on CBS News tonight:
A coyote warning for New Jersey and New York - Hastings Village; Yonkers; Westchester; Hastings on Hudson, about numerous coyotes attacking adults, including a mailman, a motorist; pets; children - outside recess being cancelled at an elementary school. A large number of very aggressive coyotes that refuse to be chased away by adults, on whom they turn and chase, even chasing man who had to jump thru his open car window to escape , have been marauding suburban neighborhoods ( none of which are shitholes.)

[HONDO74]

( none of which are shitholes.)

You see. even the coyotes know not to move to a Stinkhole area. Next it will be the homies and the hoodies coming for you.

"( none of which are shitholes.)" Murph.
Depends on where your from.

Likely true.
I'm not unprepared for either.

Hey. Maybe the coyotes will get the homies and hoodies!

The Coyotes are outgunned. The homies and hoodies will be packing 9mm hand guns.

A 9mm is much faster than a cell phone and 911.
