Starring Aidan Quinn, Susanna Thompson, Christian Campbell, Alison Pill, Ivan Shaw, Ellen Burstyn, Dylan Baker, and Garret Dillahunt
Sort of a cross between "Joan Of Arcadia," "7th Heaven," and "Six Feet Under," this hourlong dramedy centers on a troubled family headed by a pill-popping priest who talks to Jesus. (Yes, Jesus talks back.)

Tom Shales said it best: Tries desperately to be as incessantly offensive as often as possible on every subject possible -- and fails even at that.

Refreshing - crazy like life - I should know - I'm a Bishop's daughter!

It was thought provoking and such a relief to see a program grappling with common, though hidden, issues. It might have tried too hard to deal with a lot in a short time. Considering that most of what's offered on network TV is violent and graphically so, The Book of Daniel almost made me believe that NBC was a humane and compassionate network. I don't think that anymore.

NBC did not give this show a fair chance. As those of us who have watched the episodes shown on line can attest to the story line and the characters are just beginning to fully develop and if the "Christian right" could get over themselves and their holier than thou attitudes and live in the real world, they would see that this is a family living with the issues we all face today(aging parents, homosexuality, drugs, teen sex), whether we are Christian or not.
