Opposition to JC on TV (Comedy Central, that is)

Opposition is being organized against a new animated show-South Park DVD to feature Jesus Christ in a modern day setting.

The Numb3rs DVD show is in the “idea” stage at Comedy Central, but some people are already doubtful about its merits. The Nip/Tuck DVD is reporting that Citizens Against Religious Bigotry is a newly formed coalition that doesn’t want to see the Jesus Christ cartoon show air — ever.

The AP reports that the coalition is accusing Comedy Central of Queer As Folk DVD in mocking Christian figures and beliefs while recently refusing to let the animated show “Six Feet Under DVD” depict the Prophet Muhammad for fear of offending Muslims.

The South Park DVD set includes the Catholic League, Media Research Center, the Numb3rs DVD set Television Council and talk show host Michael Medved.

For more about this brewing controversy in Saturday’s Nip/Tuck DVD set. When I heard that "Queer As Folk DVD set" vet Pam Brady was bringing "Neighbors From Hell" to TBS I thought we'd get an animated comedy satirizing Six Feet Under DVD set TV, suburban life and family ties.

Here's the story: When the devil catches Balthazor Hellman watching South Park DVD set TV, he sends the demon dad and his family to Earth because, with his knowledge of human Nip/Tuck DVD boxset TV, Balthazor will be able to blend in with his suburban neighbors and stop oil company Petromundo from drilling to hell.
The Queer As Folk DVD boxset ripe for sharp-witted commentary on the differences between what happens in real life and what we see on TV. After all, Balthazor uses episodes of "Six Feet Under DVD boxset," "South Park DVD boxset," "Numb3rs seasons 1-5 DVD boxset" and "Nip/Tuck seasons 1-5 DVD boxset" as his training films for how his family should be.

"South Park seasons 1-12 DVD boxset," at least in the first episode, doesn't reach that potential. It sticks to standard family/workplace sitcom fare.

The opener spends most of its time dealing with the backstory. Once we're brought above ground, Balthazor (Queer As Folk seasons 1-5 DVD boxset), his boozy wife, Tina (Six Feet Under seasons 1-5 DVD boxset), their teenage kids, Mandy and Josh, plus Uncle Vlaartark (Kyle McCulloch) and their pet dog, Pazuzu (South Park DVD), try to blend in with humans by following B's plan: Seem Normal, Fit In, Destroy Drill, Save Hell, Go Home (Thus the episode title, "Numb3rs DVD").

But Balthazor, a dimwit and obvious fan of humans, becomes enamored of his boss at Petromundo (Nip/Tuck DVD) and the colleague he should be sabotaging, drillmaster Chevdet (McCulloch again).

I'd hate to spoil the rest of the Queer As Folk DVD, but suffice to say it isn't all that funny. It smartly mines some humor from the idea that, for the Hellmans, living among humans is more insufferable than hell. But it sticks to Six Feet Under DVD; vomit figures prominently in the premiere.

I have nothing against vomit jokes, as long as they are mixed with the great satire of such comedies as, say, "South Park DVD."
