If that trailer is any indication, it won't be around very long. I couldn't even get through the whole trailer, that " Angel" is just annoying to watch.

The series is about an angel named Amy, who acts as a guardian..........could have easily been a gnome.

What is even more strange the video blamed in Benghazi was nothing like this and look what reaction the left took to bury it.......ever ask why?
"Rob ideas?"
In a country that is purportedly a "Christian nation?"

If everyone is aware of the basic precepts of Christianity, how is it "robbing ideas?"

Was Roma Downey "robbing ideas" in "Touched by an Angel?"
Michael Landon in "Highway to Heaven?"

There are a lot of negative characterizations in the Bible.
Are they indicative of insecurity as well?

What a tempest in a teapot this is.

Considering historians tell us Jesus was not born in the winter and how the date chosen for Christmas along with a number of traditions come from the Saturnalia, just WHO has robbed WHAT from WHOM?

Thanks for posting this. I wouldn't have watched the show based on the title of it and the lead actress (who I'm not fond of) but it actually looks promising now that I've watched this clip.

Why on earth do you think that the purpose of a show on commercial TV is to "offend christians"? The purpose is to make money by drawing an audience for advertisers so they can manipulate said audience into buying stuff.

I find almost all commercial TV offensive, so I don't watch it. Just about all TV ads, as well as most of the shows they sponsor, pander to a very shallow consumerist conception of who people are. Game shows are the most blatant.

Your willingness to feel especially picked on because you are a christian ignores the overwhelming reality that very few human beings are depicted respectfully on commercial TV.

We don't watch broad cast TV but it looks funny enough. Of course this is Faux news.

Have you seen the show?
So Christianity must never be mocked... why?

Oh, right-- because that offends you. And others.

Do you know what phrase describes refraining from certain speech so as not to cause offense?

Political correctness

The irony...

Gosh, I wasn't aware that the idea of a "guardian angel" was a tenet of ANY particular faith, including Christianity (from what I remember).

No, it's based on a DC comic book.

Have you seen the show?

No, and I don't really plan to.

And for the folks who are getting their panties in a twist....if your Christianity is so fragile that it can't stand up to a stupid sitcom, or a tv show based on a DC comic book, then you need to reexamine your own faith. Or get treatment for your persecution complex.

...just sayin'
