NBC, VeggieTales and the Superhero Guidebook
Posted by
I’ve been a big fan of VeggieTales for quite a number of years.
While channel surfing this morning, I came across VeggieTales on the television. I had read on Michelle Malkinapparently NBS has a problem with VeggieTales. She makes some excellent points here on Hot Air. recently that
Never mind that NBC finds it okay to air Madonna in a faux crucifix scene…
Whatever.
What I got a kick out of - while watching VeggieTales on TV this morning - was that, yes indeed they don’t refer to G_d or the Bible, (at least in the segment that I saw…) but as I had the show on in the background, I heard them refer to the “Superhero Guidebook.”
What stitch? I can see me referring to the Bible in the future as a “Superhero Guidebook.” I used to carry around a Bible in the farm truck and once someone asked why? My response was that I carried it around for “emergency instructions.”
Meanwhile, “Big Ideas,” the folks who are the creative masterminds behind VeggieTales, has something to say about it all:
Two weeks ago, VeggieTales made its debut on national television. After 13 years and 50 million videos sold, many people are familiar with Bob & Larry and their brand of "Sunday Morning Values, Saturday Morning Fun!" But putting VeggieTales on TV has got some people asking, "Hey, what's the big idea?"
Some think that because of its teaching of Judeo-Christian values, VeggieTales should not be allowed on TV -- or at least should be restricted to a time slot or channel for religious programming. Others feel that VeggieTales should be on TV and in the exact same format that is familiar to millions of families. Well, VeggieTales is on TV and is not in the same format as the DVDs -- and that's created a bit of a stir! Keep reading to hear how this all happened.

God Bless and use the Superhero Guidebook for emergency instructions as often as necessary.
