[> His name makes me think that the show is meant to be a caricature of some sort -- tongue-in-cheek. Maybe something, 'good Christrians' might find humourously humbling. IMO, it still is a tad offensive for major network tv aimed at 'appealing' to large audiences. Nowadays many people may not be up for this 'humor' or may not 'get it'. There's too much religious tension in the world today not to mention horific tragedies occuring whereby our spirituality has become something very close and real -- not something to make fun about. I don't mean to sound self-righteous, it's how I feel. -- mj, 11:24:34 03/18/11 Fri [1]

[> [> I agree, I find the title offensive. Can't imagine Hollywood using that title with any other religion or ethnic group without a huge backlash/outrage. Plus, as a women that word is incredibly demeaning! I hope they change the name of the show. -- lisa, 12:06:28 03/18/11 Fri [1]

[> [> Here's another (possible) viewer offended, and I'm so easygoing that I'm pretty hard to offend. There are plenty of other plays on words possible -- why use something this crude? -- Deemus, 18:39:28 03/18/11 Fri [1]
