I'll give it three weeks
So, I was enthralled in NBC's The Biggest Loser last night, when during one of the promos for new shows for next season, I see a flaxen-haired Jesus (looking like he had just stepped out of The Last Supper) talking in a backyard to Daniel, a priest in what is NBC's newest religious-themed dramedy, "Daniel," ie "The Book of Daniel."
Apparently Daniel meets Jesus on the swing/bench to talk about his troubled kids, his troubled life.
Apparently, this Jesus will challenge long held notions -- "And where did you read that?" Jesus responded with a bewildered look on his face to one question.
I'm wondering if Satan is being readied for Sweeps Week.

So they're recycling "Oh God!" "Joan of Arcadia" and "Touched by an Angel" again. Best of luck. I wonder if any of these "god talks to regular folks" TV shows bother to consult religion experts to make sure their theology is "orthodox" in some way.
I think it's likely that the writers are instead making up their theology as they go along. Which is how nearly all theology was originally done anyway.

I was going to say Satan showed up in the last couple of episodes of "Joan of Arcadia," but darn, Eric beat me to it.
