Can we guess why Episcopal folks don't object?

Perhaps the most puzzling response to the series is the Episcopalian officials who are coming to the show's defense. The Episcopal Diocese of Washington put up a supportive weblog called the "Blog of Daniel" boosting the show.

God forbid the Catholics will ever find themselves in the condition these
Anglicans are in... confused, torn, and weak. I really do hope they give up
standing apart and just come home.

NBC
Daniel, a new TV series mocking Jesus as just another amusingly clueless
televised sidekick.

The most serious mockery in the show is the Jesus character. It's not that he's unlikable. It's just that he's clearly not God. He tells Daniel He doesn't know the future: "Hey, I'm not a fortuneteller." He sees the lesbians through the window, chuckles and says, "Boy, you never know, do ya?"
