That sucks. It would have been a hilarious episode.Action by AFA Online supporters has cause NBC to pull the offensive segment scheduled for the April 6th episode of Will and Grace.
In an attempt to confuse the public, the network issued an intentionally misleading statement which left the impression that AFA had lied to our supporters. Here is the statement NBC sent to their affiliates for the affiliate to use in responding to emails and calls:
*Some erroneous information was mistakenly included in a press release describing an upcoming episode of “Will & Grace” which, in fact, has yet to be written. The reference to “Cruci-fxins” will not be in the show and the storyline will not contain a Christian characterization at all.*NBC did not say that they (NBC) had issued the “erroneous information” but left the reader with the impression that AFA had issued the "erroneous information."
When NBC said that the script “has yet to be written,” what they didn’t tell you is that the “story board” had been completed and the offensive material was scheduled to be a part of the episode. The story board contains the outline of the program. That is the reason for the detailed description of the episode issued by NBC in their initial press release.
For a better understanding of this deception by NBC written by a third party, [click here](javascriptl(‘http://www.afa.net/sites/nbc_willandgrace.htm’)
.
The bottom line is that the actions taken by AFA Online supporters like you caused them to rewrite the episode and remove the offensive segment!

OMG you people are crazy. You seriously are going to write letters and complain to get shows taken off the air. In which you don’t support or like. You do know there are like 200 stations, so at that gving time of said episode/show you can watch something eles?
I mean I hate the 700 club, or any other boring religious mumbo jumbo on TV, but I respect that others enjoy and watch it. Shoudl I and all my friends, and all my family members write to get thsoe shows cancelled.
Why can’t yuo just let people read, and watch what they want? This is America home of the free. I have to deal with bible thumbers telling me lies, like I am going to hell for being gay, which is so not true because god loves me for being gay, but yet we can’t have Britney Spears pretend to be Christian and then liek a gay man. Why, because you are all followers Fred Phelps??

I am gravely concerned that we have better things to do than worry about the garbage on NBC. We need vocations to the priesthood and religious life. We need people to minister to the sick, dying, and homeless. We need people to volunteer their time and talents to make this world a better place. I would be happier if we Catholics would make those things a priority instead of worrying about what’s on TV.
Shut it off and go help someone.

But complaining about TV is so much easier. It’s always easier to cmplain about what the other guy does wrong than to do something right.

Lets just say the television is not helping our situation. When you get young men to lust after every woman from a young age, when you take the name of Christ and make a mockery out of it. If I was not already doing things to help spread God’s word and my only mission was the television than yes I could see your point. But believe me I do my share and then some. You could verify that with any priest I work for. But to sign your name and click a button takes much less time to do than to type this post.
If you think desensitizing the world to crime, blashemy, sexual situations is fine than go for it. Me I chose to sign that petition to NBC, ABC, or CBS, or whoever else may be guilty of undoing the work I do all day. That is to lead souls to Christ and to help build his kingdom. Check out the thread posted here forums.catholic-questions.org/showthread.php?t=97761 you will see what desensitizing and education we all get from the television. Maybe it is not you but maybe it might be your son or daughter getting murdered one day and you can simply say well I did not have time to click that button.

In recognition of that I will leave one of my TVs on during Desparate Housewives. I won’t be watching the show, but it’s my own personal petition. Each TV has its own cable box, so that will trigger the rating count in the cable system.Yup and Yup!!!
We each fight for our own values in our own way.

Excellent! So given that info I will trigger an EWTN count to counter yours, plus my petition to the sponsors.
