Why are you NOT watching Studio 60.

This is a Call to Action...

Today I was skimming by MSNBC (I swear I never really watch that channel) when I noticed it was talking about the hottest TV shows this season. Some of my shows were on there, Lost, Heroes, The Office ....But one show was not. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

In fact it was mentioned as a "Second Chance" show. Please give it a second chance. It really is a good show. The guest was pleading. Watch Studio 60. Because apparently No one is...

I have to disagree Studio 60 isint a good show it's an amazing show. But besides the amazing cast, incredible plot and of course Arron Sorkin. I need to mention one thing.

This show gives the best (fictional) representation of a Christian ever showed on Network TV. Her name is Harriet Hayes played by Sarah Paulson , she plays the ex-girlfriend of Matt Albie (Matthew Perry).

This show having a Christian as one of the main Character could have been an insult to all of Christianity. She could have represented every major true and false stereotype about the christian faith known to man. But NBC didn't write her that way. No instead Harriet Hayes is a phenomenal christian who stands boldly for her faith in a totally secular environment.

She broke up with Matt Allbie because Matt couldn't stand the fact she went on the 700 Club. (A Show which I adore). She is ridiculed, slandered, and mocked all because of her faith. Yet she remains strong in it. Working hard. She even makes Jokes of her own Faith. She is the best actress on the show (The Character not Sarah Paulson) . And she credits that to her faith. If NBC tried to make her a Joke of Christianity they did a terrible job, because she comes off so perfectly at being not perfect.

Christians are the FIRST, to criticize a show for slandering Christians but were the last to Praise a show for positively portraying Christians. And this is what Studio 60 does so incredibly well...

So this is a Call to all readers of Hollywood Jesus. This is a Call to the Church, The Christian Coalition and all other Christian people and friends you can possibly thank of. Let's stand behind this show. Let's give it our support. Buy any episodes you missed on iTunes. It really is an exceptional show, and it would be a shame to see A great leading Christian Character like Harriet Hayes be reduced to nothing more then a DVD sale of a 2 Disc "Complete Series" Collection.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip comes on Monday's at 10pm after Heroes on NBC.
