Phil Viscer has a post up at his blog that explains pretty much everything about the NBC debacle. I was wrong about several key facts, so you need to read his account if you want to know the real story. It is both better and worse than I expected. Better, because the cutting wasn’t something the show’s creators agreed to. They no longer own the rights to Veggie Tales, and had no say in the matter. It’s nice to know that Vischer isn’t gutting his show for a buck.
But the news is bad for all the same reasons. Veggie Tales is owned by a secular company who does not value the central message and who is willing to re-shape the thing to make it profitable. “God made you special and he loves you very much” has been replaced with “thanks for coming to my house.”
I don’t have much to add to my previous comments, except to say that this is a rotten way for things to have turned out.
Shamus Plays LOTRO
As someone who loves Tolkein lore and despises silly MMO quests, this game left me deeply conflicted.
Bowlercoaster
Two minutes of fun at the expense of a badly-run theme park.
Bethesda NEVER Understood Fallout
Let's count up the ways in which Bethesda has misunderstood and misused the Fallout property.
Patreon!
Why Google sucks, and what made me switch to crowdfunding for this site.
Crysis 2
Crysis 2 has basically the same plot as Half-Life 2. So why is one a classic and the other simply obnoxious and tiresome?
Bah! VeggieTales should be respected as part of the counter culture!
