Canceled: God, President, and Dreams

I am sorry; I do not get it. Experts said President Bush won reelection because of the God and Family Value issue. But at the same time, television programs with God and Family Values were canceled.

Among those canceled:

Joan of Arcadia: God appears to a high school student. Maybe people do not like the fact that this show says God can speak to regular people, without going through an intermediary, such as a priest or a minister.

Jack and Bobbie: tells about the high school struggles of a future president. It is about the struggle of a single-family home. The mother is a liberal, while the future president becomes a Republican. Maybe people do not like to think of future presidents as coming from single-family homes or being raised by liberal mothers.

American Dreams: basically was a family show set in the 1960’s and covered issues such as Civil Rights and Vietnam. Maybe people do not like family shows to cover meaningful issues.

If you do not like to think and you do not like shows about God and issues, we always have the reality shows, such as American Idol, The Apprentice, Fear Factor, The Nanny, The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, The Mole, Wife Swap, Survivor, Big Brother, Average Joe, The Contender, America’s Next Model, Anna Nicole Show, etc.
