I have avoided network television (except sports, news and weather) for years due to steady stream of mind numbing "reality shows" and the worst writing since television first became a staple in the American home.
Finally a well written, creative and well cast show that dares to bring comedy back by poking fun at religion. Plus, it does this within the constraints of Network censors.
It still needs some work with timing and character development, but given a chance it could become the most original and best comedy since SOAP.
Somebody learned for Susan Harris.
Great Show.
