You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

"God...my brilliance is now becoming a bit of a burden...get back to me." Dr. Cox - Scrubs

I still think that the Bible had the most realistic looking CGI to date. I had a hard time believing that bush wasn't actually burning, but instead SFX.

Parting the red sea will probably win them an Emmy for SFX. I can't wait to get the first season of the old testament DVD's and see the making of that episode....

I heard that God was going to do the commentaries for Genesis(with Camden Toy(who was the snake), Deuteronomy, Samuel Pt 1 & 2(with the writer Samuel), and Leviticus.

I have heard that even though Kings 1 & 2 aired during season 2, they had season one production numbers. FOX really had to think long and hard before renewing it after lackluster ratings from the first season. That may have actually been the first and last time they showed patience for a new show.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

What do you guys point to as the exact moment that the Bible jumped shark...

Noah's Ark. Because, dude, it was a total reset.

And if God had to destroy the world because it was so damn bad, and *He* was the one who made the world, I think that says something about the craftsmanship....

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

What do you guys point to as the exact moment that the Bible jumped shark...

When it became the St. Paul show. Early on you had the nice back story (Roman legionnaire, zapped/converted on the road to Damascus), he was a nice recurring character, but then... epistle this, epistle that, force fed Paulist doctrine. And, dude, Mary Magdalene never loved you. JCnMm4eva!!1!

And we thought cellular suntan was the lamest route around a gaping plot hole someone couldn't right their way out of...

Aint fair that God can do that kind of shit because who's gonna disagree with him after that punishment? It's a hell of alot easier to pull a Tabula Rasa on Noah and his band of travelers than an entire world population.

Red hair and black leather--my favorite color scheme.

I've always thought it was really cool how, after getting all that criticism over all the violence in the Old Testament, God turned around and whipped out Song of Solomon, which was nothing but sex.

I'm still saving up for a Sect-Free DVD player so I can get Judith and Wisdom...lucky Region 3 Catholics...anyone know where I can BitTorrent them?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Well, then there's that whole gap between Jesus at 12 and showing up a decade or more later.

I'm sure he and Iolas could be out there in Jesus Christ: The Early Years.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I'm sure he and Iolas could be out there in Jesus Christ: The Early Years

Isn't that what the animated series was going be for?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

What do you guys point to as the exact moment that the Bible jumped shark...I would point to David and Goliath. The guy who played David was way to bulked up and big to be David. I wasn't buying it, plus Goliath totally wore lifts.

My vote goes to later in the run, where they make the HoYAY! between Judas and Jesus canon, but only to have Judas go evil and betray Christ. It's the Seeing Red of the NT.
