Real Christianity -- "through the waters" (Is. 43.2),
By
This review is from: The Book of Daniel: The Complete Series (DVD)
This is a wonderful programme, and the DVD gives us the chance to see it all (even episodes and scenes skipped over or dropped in the all-too-short network run.) From a light hearted beginning -- a tongue in cheek portrayal of Episcopalian Christianity -- the series moves into some heart wrenching, very difficult and entirely human situations. Complicated folk (no plaster saints here) wadding through the high waters of life from the place of faith and Christian community. "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you, when you walk through fire you shall not be burned and the flame shall not consume you." (Isaiah 43.2)

Canceled before it's time,
By C. D. Comer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Book of Daniel: The Complete Series (DVD)
I loved this show - it depicted the human side of religion. I was incredibly disappointed when the network pulled the plug on this show. I don't know what the ratings were like, but I doubt they were low enough to merit a mid-season cancelation. This well-done series deserves a second chance - I'd love to see it on a cable station. Don't be bullied by the lobbyists! I'm glad to see it's being released on DVD!

Finally, some respect for a small show that thought big...,
By R. Gawlitta "Coolmoan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Book of Daniel: The Complete Series (DVD)
I'm so pleased that this wonderful show will be available to enjoy again; I only saw a few episodes because our affiiate in Milwaukee bowed to the protests of a small few, and it was taken off. It's been a while, but I remember Aidan Quinn giving a fine interpretation of a conflicted man; a just and right and Christian man, facing issues that affect all of society. Also, a family man, with those profound concerns as an added challenge. As I recall, Jesus Christ had conversations with him, and this seemed to offend some closed-minded fundamentalist types. What I found intriguing was that we all like to think of our own clergymen as having some kind of connection to the Lord. Clergymen pray, and all this show portrayed was a clergyman's converations with the Lord, and his interpretation. Apparently, anyone who didn't appreciate "The Book of Daniel" are those who don't believe in prayer or their clergymen. Anyone who thinks that Jesus Christ isn't with us all the time shouldn't call himself a Christian. If the fundamentalists are offended by this show, then I'm offended by their idiot, closed-minded approach to spirituality. This show must have been especially interesting to the agnostics, if only for it's soft approach to a touchy subject matter. I write this with absolute respect to other religions, but encourage them to witness a well-written show, rife with humor as well as serious subject matter, to know that no one, even a clergyman, has all the answers, and that the Lord, whatever you may call him, is always there and it's comforting to know that we're not alone. We're also not alone with a brilliant cast and writing staff, that attempted to portray life and its foibles with aplomb and generous amounts of common sense. If you don't like it, don't watch it. How hard is that to understand...? I particularly liked the idea that Jesus was portrayed with a sense of humor; the doom & gloom fundamentalists can stew in their virtue. Let the (majority) rest of us alone.

FINALLY someone came to their senses!!!,
By Pamela Caso - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Book of Daniel: The Complete Series (DVD)
Elated would be an understatement as to how I feel about this show being available for purchase on DVD. This was THE only quality television show available to watch before it was cancelled (and we all know why...low ratings my %$#%@). I urge EVERYONE to buy it and hopefully the interest will spark Showtime or HBO to pick it up and run with it!! This show is not only funny, but warm, thought provoking, and incredibly acted by all the actors especially by Aidan Quinn. BRAVO!!
