While we are discussing tv, can anyone tell me anything about this? I kind bumped into it when resetting the dials after I finished watching Washington Week and McLaughlin Group this evening (we tape nearly everything these days, to watch at our leisure) and it looked interesting.

Last week was the pilot, and I enjoyed it. The basic premise is that this Episcopalian minister (Daniel Webster) speaks with Jeus - AND sees him - regularly. His wife seems to have a drinking problem. They have three children - an adopted Chinese boy who has great success with the ladies, a gay son, and a daughter who sells drugs so that she can buy computer programmes. There is also a dead son about whom not much has been said yet. His father is a bishop, and his mother has ALzheimer's. His SIL's husband stole 3.2 million dollars from the church's school building fund, and ran off with his secretary. Then he died, and the secretary and SIL were found out to be having an affair. The money has been found, but the only way he can get it is by dealing with the Mafia. How's that for an introduction?

Noreen, Have you heard that the local Nashville station will not be running the show? I watched part of the pilot but was disappointed that it will not be on anymore. :-( Carol in TN
Thas story line reminds me of a very old movie, with Garry Grand as an angle, and David Niven as the minister and can't think of the wife's name any more. There was a lot of talking back and forth to God as well I think....(smiling)
We saw a very recent BritishO movie, we rented last week, and I have no idea about the title at all. The movie's theme was a good one, about two young boys, brothers, who have recently lost their mother. They move into a brand new subdivision, new house, go to a new school etc. The youngest boy builds this great cardbox house close to the railway tracks. One day a bag full with money crashes through part of is cardbox house. The story goes on from there, what all happens after the boys have this money. The youngest boy, constandly talks to Saints, he sees them as well and gets all kinds of good and humorous advice, what should be done with all this money. The older boy deals with the same found money in a very different way. The problems with this movie was that the movie line was good. The technique of filming was rotten. Everything flies across the screen, talking is fast and staccato, and a very good story line gets lost in to many flashy details. There is a crook who wants his stolen money back after he threw it off the train, but in the end it get all very muddled. The young boy and all the talking saints hold this story together. I have to find out what the title of this movie is.

Oh, yes, I saw that one. Was it "The Bishop's Wife"? Great movie! Anything with Cary Grant and David Niven is wonderful!
Yes, please, I would like to know this, too.
